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.

    @Jonathan

    You said: Let me ask you straight: If it was you and Israel withdrew from Gaza, would you shoot rockets at Israeli civilians? If not, why not?

    Answer: In the present situation I would shoot missiles at Israeli "civilians" who are actually a nationwide civilian militia. Fill their hospitals with dead and wounded and give them a taste of their own medicine.

    Make Israel go back to their original borders, roughly 1965, when they were also secretly testing or developing nuclear bombs with the help of the French. The Israelis are always “secretly” doing something to further their economic situation. They are a nation of hucksters allied with huckster allies in the U.S.

    America is broke and Israel is really broke. Israel, prepare to embrace the values and lifestyles of the third world. The Obama Administration had better show some backbone on the Israeli problem (but only after they legally prosecute members of the Dubya Nazis who dismantled America for eight years).
