		<description>Any one, including Obama, that supports Israel&#039;s blowing up Palestinian women and children is a traitor and a house slave.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Always has been slaves that will snitch and side with massa to get a little pat on the head.</description>

		<description>I went to a client&#039;s house a few years ago and she had on the Tour de France because she loved Lance Armstrong. Well as he was winding himself through the countryside she said &quot;it really is a beautiful country, too bad I will never go there.&quot; i thought she meant because of time or commitments or money. So I asked her why/ She said &quot;Because how France didn&#039;t support us in the WAR/&quot; Well I remembered that I was working but to keep some of my morality and integrity intact, I said&quot; That is what we have to realize as we go forward as a country freeing people and creating democracies. Their people, like France&#039;s people, may decide that what is good for them may not coincide with what we feel is good for us.&quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She had a moment flash across her face. I think, we have let the holocaust be a carte blanche for Israel. They cannot segregate and demean a people for their own &quot;safety&quot;. I don&#039;t believe we were right to create the state of Israel in the first place. They have no moral superiority anymore. They need to see that their foreign and domestic policies has been a big factor in where they are right now. Just like we must also examine our policies.</description>

		<description>For anyone who is interested in learning more about the history of this conflict, I would suggest Karen Armstrong&#039;s Holy War: The Crusades and Their Impact On Today&#039;s World as a starting point.  Some say that she is biased, but as an academic who has extensively studied the history of the Middle East, I maintain that this is a fantastic starting point. And irrespective of my own biases, Armstrong succeeds in illuminating the flaws of both sides.</description>

		<description>D, just wanted to co-sign literally everything you have written.  HAMAS broke the cease fire.  If anyone even REMOTELY did to us what they have done to Israel -- well what Israel is now doing would pale in comparison (cheers, BHO).  Israel is targeting military targets which Hamas has cynically chosen to locate in mosques and other areas with civilians.  I don&#039;t agree with everything Israel is doing right now (I never do), but the broad outlines are fine.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think Israel would cease to exist if the US stopped its support.  And that would be a tragedy, as well as a huge strategic problem.  L&#039;chaim everyone, and best to you, D.</description>

		<description>I think that this is simplistic talk, and Obama is going to have to back off from some of this talk , because (1)&lt;i&gt;because it doesn&#039;t even begin to solve anything&lt;/i&gt; and (2) it is dangerous talk.  It sounds like playing war from two sides of a fence when you were kids, and frankly, this is frighteningly &lt;i&gt;adult&lt;/i&gt; shyt happening with rockets hitting schools, homes, and families.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Israel got its ass kicked two years ago when Hezbollah in Lebanon succeeded where other Arab nations hadn&#039;t.  I feel that the Israeli right wing government has been chafing at the bit to kick &lt;i&gt;some&lt;/i&gt; Arab ass since.  They may yet succeed with Hamas (who is bankrolled by Hezbollah), since Arab governments seemingly don&#039;t give a shyt right now about the Palestinians, especially Egypt.  The Arab street, though, is really, really fired up. and that ain&#039;t good.</description>

		<description>The Jews began agitating for a homeland in the 19th century, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herzl&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;especially through the efforts of one Theodor Herzl.&lt;/a&gt;  They had immigrated, in spurts, to Palestine all the way up to Hitler&#039;s rise.  They had petitioned the Ottoman Turks, which once owned Palestine, and later, the British for the right to resettle there.  It wasn&#039;t that  there weren&#039;t Jews there in Palestine already, but the population was indeed smaller, and they weren&#039;t thinking of being a nation any time soon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Naturally, the already resident Palestinian Arabs were threatened by the new European Jews encroaching on what they felt was their land, and instigated several &lt;i&gt;pogroms&lt;/i&gt;, including one spectacular one in 1929.  The Palestinian Arabs, and Arabs in states like Egypt, what was then TransJordan, Arabia, and Syria, were successful in influencing Britain to stem legal immigration to Palestine.  The Arabs were actually rooting for the Nazis during WW II, already seeing Jewish settlement as a form of European colonialism, hoping that they would finally free themselves from the yoke of the Brits and the French, as well as kicking the Jews out.  When WW II ended, the Arabs saw themselves once more on the defensive, especially when the Mandate ended and Israel declared itself a sovereign nation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yall can read about this shyt that they don&#039;t teach in school or show on MSNBC or CNN...but I want to tell you that the Arabs have always seen Israel as a European outpost among them way past the time they had finally kicked out those countries that had colonized them.  An outpost that could impede Arab unity or even recolonize them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is not to say that Israel does not have the right to exist.  But some of their exclusionary practices, the fact that they have the Bomb, the wall that they have erected against the Palestinians in order to keep &#039;terrorists&#039; at bay, that they use the Palestinians in certain industries like construction...this is some weird shyt.  They must think the Palestinians are Canaanites.</description>

		<description>Israel has had the Bomb since the Seventies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;South Africa and them were exploding shyt in the veldt. I have yet to have heard of people who might have been affected by these experimental A-bombs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As &lt;i&gt;apartheid&lt;/i&gt; became increasingly harder for whites to uphold, they became nervous that a black president and ruling insurgent group like the ANC would lay their hands on a Bomb and perhaps give it to some dangerous others or explode it on the whites in payback for years of oppression.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nothing like that ever happened, but the fact is, S.A. and Israel bonded  together because they were surrounded on all sides by hostile nations and a native population that they had supplanted.  That&#039;s the kind of settler, expansionist, and racist shyt that I want to see less of, whether from Israel or the U.S.</description>

		<description>This is what happens when blind support meets unlimited funding with zero accountability. And I applaud Cynthia McKinney for risking her life because the israeli military is not above killing American anti-war activists and as we can see she isn&#039;t exactly afforded a lot of respect or a large media spotlight.</description>

		<description>Cuz that ancient homeland is on the continent of AFRICA but they&#039;re not gonna go there! The UN set a bad example by swiping land from others to give to Israel in the first place. It was no coincidence that it was smack dab around a bunch of Arab countries. That was to cause maximum conflict. Also we give away BILLIONS of our money with no say in the matter even now with the economy tanking. Let Israel pay for it&#039;s own defense and pay for their own weapons then. It&#039;s just not balanced and not fair. Hamas is an elected gov&#039;t.</description>
