You elected a government that butchers civilians; should I consider you a threat, and kill you before you try to kill me and my family? If all Palestinians deserve to die because some elected Hamas, should I start hunting down, starving out, and threatening the Jews where I live, since they are all part of this barbaric 'group' which is filled with a hatred that would make Hitler blush? Sorry, man, I'm sure you feel justified to defend what your country does, you've been raised that way. Unfortunately, in this day and age, that shit don't wash. Right now, the US citizenry is just waking up to the horrors of what we have supported. AIPAC and Olmert can boast about owning the US government, that much is true. But I can assure you my friend, as you sit there with your hand out begging for more welfare from us, crying victim with hat in hand, we're not buying it. Sure, Israel tortures prisoners for us, and helps filter the drug trade from Afghanistan, but we have our limits. Israel has a right to exist, like I have a right to be a billionaire, as long as another billionaire keeps giving me money. You people are now putting all US citizens in danger, by using our weapons and money like homicidal maniacs. I don't want that rap on me.
