Time for Israel to retire back to their rightful homeland--Russia/Poland. We are feed-up with Jewish control--even in America. Soon,like 911 they will kill us all.

jojo, I doubt you are an American, because we know the truth, America is controlled by the free citizens of America, and we support Israel because they are a legitimate, free, democratic nation, unlike those who seek to destroy it (we, out of charity, support these other peoples - Palestininans in particular - with billions of dollars, in the hope they will choose peace if given an opportunity, which has unfortunately, until now, not happened).

...and to your sideways anti-semitic BS that Israel or Jews had something to do with 9/11 it is a complete lie and we Americans know it.

What I really don't understand is why, when groups like the Nazi's who are so proud of their 'final solution' or the islamicists who are so proud of their 9/11 attack, do some people feel the need to try and say it didn't happen or someone else did it? It seems crazy to deny what the perpertraitors hold as their greatest accomplishments.

Time for Realist to open up his eyes and see the war crimes perpetrated by Israel unto the Palestinian people. Enough is enough. Time for the US government to completely detach itself from this pariah state called Israel.

inlikeflynn,

My eyes are wide open and the only abuse of the poor Pals has been by their Arab buddies. The Arabs chose not to accept the 1949 partition deal, or any other peace deal, at the end of British control. They made war instead and lost, thus they must accept the peace deal they agreed to. The exchange of populations, so I guess the only fair thing is for them to be givin lands in Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arbia, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen etc, as agreed.

Yes yes Realist, It was all the Ayrabs fault that the Zionists ethnically cleansed the Palestinians, and steadfastly refused to allow their return, on the grounds that they don't meet the racial requirements of Israel's 'Law of Return'.

You really should get REAL.

What is Israel doing in Lebanese territory?

Greg Potemkin,

No one was ethnically cleansed, nor are they being. Because Israel demands the Arabs and Pals live up to their agreements, including the exchange of population (where 3 times as many Jews fled persecution in Arab countries to Israel as Arabs fled Israel to await Israel's destruction) you blame Israel. how foolish. Blame the Arabs who refuse to give their brothers what they owe them.

You toss around the term 'ethnically cleansed' so easily, without facts to back up your hate. Don't excuse the Palestinians inhumane actions (suicide bombers, human shields, rocket attacks on civilian targets, kidnapping and using children as soldiers and to retrieve rockets) and unwillingness to make peace, and do respect the perspective of a people whose nation has been under siege from its neighbors unwarranted aggression for nearly 60 years.

It is a disputed area, historically used for the launching of attacks on Israel, so in 1967 Israel captured the territory.

Listen to these a-hole american slobs pounding their chests here. As soon as america stops supporting terror states such as jewland, and takes a hard long look at their own state sponsored, world wide war of terror...the world at large might stop viewing the both of you as the worlds greatest threat.

You all sit back and blog while stuffing your faces with cheesies and bigmacs, thinking you are so good and pure. Thinking you have some sort of right to dictate your beliefs on the rest of the world because you carry big sticks.

You are as the germans were due to Hitler. You are all collectively guilty for the slaughter you have created.

Every single american terrorist that dies in Iraq, DESERVES to die in Iraq. Looks good on you a-holes.

The whole world tried to tell you to stop. The whole world told you that you were wrong about Iraq. The inspectors told you that there were no such weapons programs as you blatently lies about.

How did you respond?

You kicked the inspectors out, invaded and slaughtered wholely innocent people. And now you occupy them.

The world awaits your downfall.

to Proud anti American:

Your lies and hate fall on deaf educated ears, now that the UN extended the US MANDATE IN IRAQ by another 18 months 139 to 5, I guess you have to give up the 'world' and accept it is your deluded little corner that believes your dribble. If you really don't like the US or its policies, don't accept our monies. Stand up and support yourself.


...and to gmas, individual actions are not the same as the governments or (in the case of the Pals, a controlling authority), any no one is denying horrible things have occurred, but to try and paint it all as equal is insane. The world has seen the continuing destructiveness of the islamicists, from the Olympic murders to 9/11. Settlements can be removed, rocket attacks which kill civilians cannot.

lets try and be fair here and not just hate the Jews because they wanted their homeland back.

'What do you bring to the table?'
How about a Doctorate in Philosophy, Masters in History, Masters in Political Science, Masters in Psychology, and an open mind. I am also a veteran. You may have 'facts', but your interpretation of them is scewed, by personal, unthinking bias. So don't try and bullshit me, or anyone else, about your factual history. So, before you go off an a tangent and wonder what I am doing here, on this web site, I shall inform you. It is called research. Research into the failure of societies to properly educate their citizens as unique entities and thereby let them lead fulfilling lives and not merely create non-thinking cannon fodder for industry, consumerism, and political agendas. You would be a suitable candidate for some testing. Do you wish to volunteer?

This is too funny. Pardon me while I laugh my face off at your Curriculum Vitae. Your vivid imagination is astounding. Where did you obtain these degrees, at the bottom of a box of Corn Flakes? Or did you send $1.98 to some Post Office Box and obtain them that way? Goodby, and have a nice delusion. Do not bother to apply for a testing session, mentally defective people are not part of the programme.

Here's a novel idea. Withdraw all financial aid and military forces/aid form all of the countries by the United State of America and let those countries clean up their own problems.
