Why does the Left hate Israel?

[Chica Yeyé 41]

anyone???

...only if it positions itself as neutral to both sides equally condemning both actions of Hamas and the Israeli military.

Why? Both actions are not equally worthy of condemnation. Hamas started it this time. A good ol fashioned b1tchslap is just what the doctor ordered.

Exactly - why should the US be neutral to terrorist scum?

Like it or not, any path to peace, is going to have to deal with Hamas as an equal player. They do represent a large number of the Palestinian people. Bombing them will likely only make them stronger.

Attention... Attention... Attention... Communist Hamas supporter!!!

If i had my way i would just drop a few nukes on them both. Solve the problem once and for all, no one will want to fight over irradiated land.

I wonder why it is that conservatives blindly support and applaud Israel? I'm a Libertarian and am hopelesly stuck in the middle here. I don't believe in foreign aid as a tool of hegemony. I have no feelings of ill will towards Israel, I just believe that money spent outside the United States while we still have so many people living in poverty is ill spent.

Our government supports Israel because it's in our national interests. Are we hypocrites? Absolutely. Do we favor one nation over another? Absolutely. Is it right? Well that depends on what someone's definition of "right" is. We are simply doing what all great nations have done throughout history... protect our interests.

America embraced that ####### Stalin and then threw him under the bus. Ditto with that ####### Saddam. Nation first, baby!

It is only in our interest because they allow us to use their airspace, and even that is marginal.

When Armageddon comes, Israel and America will rain fire and brimstone upon the wicked Ayrabs.

P.S. Do I need the <sarcasm> tag?
