My mother was a good Christian woman who believed we should defend Israel for biblical reasons at all costs. Which is a lot the same reason people in this country are ignoring Israel's crimes. This is the reason we are ignoring the blatant evils Israel does. And our leaders condemn anyone who points them out like Jimmy Carter. If anyone in this world were doing what they are doing to defenseless people. We would be condemning them, cutting off all aid for their criminal regime and denouncing them to the world. And George Bush would have a reason for once to attack this terrorist nation of Israel. But, because 'God's chosen people' are doing it it's 'defending themselves'. While Israel gets away with 'terrorizing' Palestinians with every human degradation known to man. What we are doing is as criminal as what the Israeli's are doing. They aren't going to stop the rocket attacks this way. All they are doing is making these people more determined to see them destroyed. And for good reason! And in the eyes of the world Israel is not the righteous defender anymore. They are acting little more than Nazi thugs that they have condemned for years. I think in the end they are going to have one huge PR problem. Because a lot of us are seeing this nation of Israel for what it is.
