Hamas Attack in Israel

[Zeke]

Ike's mind is the most linear -- and wrong -- that I've seen on any subject in a long time.

As for what I said regarding 9/11? I've been here a long time, go take a look. Sum? I'm not a hypocrite.

Israel has been the Middle East bantam rooster, propped up by the US, since 1948. Their meddlesome nature in the geographic area, as a country, as well as ongoing illegal settlements generated resentment and death of citizens. Who saw that coming? [eye roll]

That's what caused 9/11, too. As it turns out? The US acted the fool in response. Same thing with Israel, now.

The United States should not support Israel unconditionally, ever. Hell, we don't support CA, UK or AU unconditionally. I have no idea why anyone might think we should: that's idiocy. Let's see what the metaphorical chihuahua does without the pitbull at it's back. My thoughts on the universal support of what is, essentially, a NATO reservation?

"Never again," unless Israel stops swatting flies with Buicks because they can. That's not the action of a mature nation or one that should be lauded in any manner.

Closed.

Re-opened after a suitable cooling off period. I strongly suggest that any member who thinks that they can run roughshod over other members because they don't like their opinions regarding this subject? Take that shit to another forum. The namecalling stops here. There will be no more warnings before the bannings begin.

I've re-opened this thread. Please read the post above.

Rajoo's question relating to the $14 billion is a reasonable one.
