The Israel rules

America's support of the Gaza attack proves once again that our mythical image of Israel has blinded us to its faults -- a myopia with devastating consequences for both countries.

    America has not supported Israel

    America has not supported Israel.

    if mexico lobbed one missile into escondido or oceanside from tijuana much less 6500 missiles, what would the United States do? they would invade tijuana and destroy the missile launchers after one missile.

    why Israel has waited so long to take out the hamas terrorists is mind boggling. what took them so long?.....they listened to America.

    Netanyahu has vowed never to listen to America again. Thank God. Maybe sanity will return to the Israeli leadership again next month.
