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.

    An occupation

    Let me pose this question, Where would Germany, Europe as a whole and Russia be if the United States decided that after World War 2 The United States wanted the world to be The United States, we started throwing unarmed people out of their homes, where they had lived for generations and blew them up leaving them homeless so they could sit and watch without food, shelter or even the most basic medical care, as brand new buildings were put up so they could be occupied by your enemy? How far would we have gotten in occupying the world? Israel's pathetic excuse that the Palestinians are occupying their country and that they are a defeated people and deserve everything they get, is so abhorrent that it fills me with the urge to defecate. Never in the history of the world has a country treated a defeated nation the way Israel has treated the Palestinians and been allowed to get away with it, nor, would a country stoop to such a low as to treat another human being with such disrespect and humiliation. To allow Israel to continue this torture of the Palestinians is reprehensible and it has to stop now!
