Let's face it folks. No matter what Israel does, the majority of the world falls on the side of the 'poor Palestinians.' Nothing new here. Pitiful pictures of injured Arab civilians; no equally horrible pictures of injured/dead Israelis. The end goal is the absolute destruction of Israel as a nation - and any Arab will be the first to admit that.
from the American "homeland". I haven't heard or read one convincing reason for America's involvement, especially as this involvement is bringing dishonour and danger to America itself.
Did you know that Israel has a giant arsenal of nuclear weapons? I don't know if they could reach Atlanta but they could definitely wipe out our troops in Iraq.
Although your scenario is sounds appealing the reality is that Israel would send enough nukes up to wipe out the entire Middle East and Europe. Who knows how many nukes they really have? Pray tell.... Therefore, I officially nominate your letter as an Editor's Choice!
When you people reflexively go on and on and on with your GIYUS.org talking points, do you consciously know that you are spreading half-truth propaganda, or are you all just too conditioned to realize what you are doing?
I hear the same shit over and over and over, the same mealy-mouthed half truth talking points, and I am expected to believe that you all came up with the same exact set of talking points independently, using your brains to generate critical thought and that every single one of you, independently thinking creatures that you are, all came to the exact same conclusions and came up with the exact same statements and scenarios?
Please. What a load of bullshit. All I see are a bunch of programmed propaganda bots, all saying the exact same thing.
...to say that "the Indians never posed a serious threat to American settlers". Wars in 17th century New England certainly imperiled european settlement there. What say might be "mostly" true, but there are plenty of historical exceptions.
Propaganda is the dissemination of information aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda.
Hey look! A perfect description of what is happening in this very thread, as well as every other thread that mentions Israel! Especially this part:

THAT is YOU.
The pragmatic thing for Obama to do . . .
would be to order the US Military to join Israel in the destruction of the Pleastinian People.
It would be easy to pull-out all troops from Iraq, and sweep across Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon. After a long and effective bombing campaign of populated Muslim population centers, of course. Our attack aircraft are much more expendable than Isaels' sophisticated and holy ordinance; they have no cares who they're gonna kill when they fire them as long as the US taxpayer is footing the bill.
And by joining Israel, we could even finally deplete our inventory of 'depleted uranium', since we'd be going for maximum Palestinian democratization.
So, if the US would just do what the Jews haven't been able to do for the last 60 years - and kill all the Palestinians - that would do more to raise America's standing in the world than anything else he could do.
In addition to bringing joy to so many of Obama's defense contractors, AIPAC members, and Democratic Congresspeople. Joining the chosen people is easier than arguing with them!
FTFY!
FIXED.
THAT.
FOR.
YOU.

Just take your text and SWAP the VARIABLES!!!
From the AP:
The Israeli army said its soldiers came under fire from militants hiding in the [UN] school and responded. It accused Gaza's Hamas rulers of "cynically" using civilians as human shields. Residents confirmed the account, saying militants were seen staging attacks from the area.
If you want to be believed, don't make a habit of being a famous liar.
That includes Israel, the United States of America, the press, both parites and you.

Chris,
Most of the propoganda is visible but some is well hidden. The reason that discussion of Israel creates a political agenda is that the world is crying out for a change in the status quo. Israel and the Palestinians are at odds for political gain. Israel has had the upper hand since they were created and received nursing at the teat of the Christian world. Together, Israel and the U.S. have been able to dominate the Middle East. This may not make sense but it is (IMHO) politically correct to stereotype the Jew as a financially apt "huckster" and state that Christians have become Jews. The hard part: It is up to mankind (both Christians and Jews)to emancipate themselves from Judaism. We have been taken by hucksters and we need to recover somehow. These are not original thoughts but they are new to me and I hope that someone recognizes the source.
The ultimate tragic irony is that the American Left bears considerable responsibility for the death of the Palestinian children they claim to "care" about.
Try a little thought experiment:
Suppose that Hamas had fired its thousands of Qassams from military bases in Gaza and stored its additional weapons in supply depots. Then suppose that in an effort to protect itself, Israel launched an air campaign that targeted the military bases and supply depots, and 300 Hamas terrorists were killed.
Would anyone care? Probably not. Most people would say, "good riddance."
However, we know that Hamas fired its rockets from locations near towns, and stored its weapons in schools and mosques. Now when Israel attempts to fight back, it kills 300 terrorists PLUS 200 innocent people. The world is "horrified".
What's the difference between the two scenarios? The difference is that Hamas used innocent civilians as "human shields" both to protect themselves, and to make sure that innocent civilians were killed in order to arouse the sympathy of the American Left.
If the use of innocent civilians as human shields incited disgust among the Left, and led to a loss of support for Hamas and the Palestinians, Hamas would stop using it as a tactic. But it does work; American and European leftists fall for it every time. That ensures that Hamas will continue to do it and more innocents will die.
By rewarding the use of human shields with condemnation of the Israelis instead of a flat out refusal to deal with any group that uses human shields, Palestinians "supporters" guarantee that the entire Palestinian population will remain hostages to Hamas.
The people who claim to be so outraged about the death of Palestinian children actually have the power to put a stop to it, by refusing to countenance any group that uses that tactic, but I'm not holding my breath. No one cares about the Palestinians except to parade self-righteously around liberal websites.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
