Obama's apology tour continues - this time in Israel

[decocker 7,198]

Obama is still going hard line support of Israel. "Every child in Israel goes to sleep afraid a rocket will come through the roof."

but he's really drawing the line "I've been clear with Prime Minister Netanyahu and other Israeli leadership that ... we do not consider continued settlement activity to be constructive, to be appropriate, to be something that can advance the cause of peace," Obama said.

did he mention what life is like for palestinian children? typical..

"Iron Dome Stops Rockets, walls keep out the suicide bombers."

"Peace only comes through an independent and viable Palestine".

[PalestineMyHeart 1,897]

“Today, the sons of Abraham and the daughters of Sarah are fulfilling the dream of the ages — to be ‘masters of their own fate’ in ‘their own sovereign state.’”

Except they need AIPAC and billions in US welfare, indulgences and "special arrangements" as well as full US diplomatic protection in order to avoid international repercussions that would force them to stop their aggressions against their neighbors.

"The U.S. will block any unilateral move to independence through the U.N."

"Neither occupation, or expulsion is the answer...Palestinians have the right to be a free people in their own land."

No doubt, he sees no contradiction between these two statements.

Somebody must have our presidents by the ballz. I can't recall ever seeing president after president suck up to a nation that has a clear ethnic cleansing campaign in progress.

The people of this country have a favorable view of Israel and not one of the so-called Palestinians.

Our leadership simply reflects that.

Yeah maybe that's it. I forgot to take the ignorance of the American electorate into account.

Unlike you pseudo-intellectuals, the American people know an enemy when they see one. There is absolutely no reason to believe a people who vote for Hamas will be anything other than an enemy to the American people. Put that in your ivory tower pipe and smoke it.

I'm no intellectual of any sort. Pseudo or otherwise. However, I try to be objective. Ivory tower pipe? Come on Ajay, you can slap me around better than that.

The American people have been fed a bunch of hooey about Israel and the conflict with the Palestinians, so they don't know any better.

But they're starting to catch on

most americans don't know how much of their money is going to israel and why. if they did - they'd be pissed.

edit to say, unless you go to a fundamentalist christian church - then you will never, ever question the righteousness of holy israel.

Ivory tower pipe doesn't even make sense, now that I think about it.
