Nice comparing me to Hitler you shmuck. My grandparents survived the Holocaust but most of my family was murdered by him. So you think calling those terrorists fuckers and monsters is like Hitler? You need to get your brain examined. How do you feel about Al Qaeda? You think there is a difference between them and Hamas? They are all the same. They pray to Allah that you will die just as much as me. Wake up MORON!

There are even a lot of folks in Israel that don't like the far rightwing government policies either.
I wonder where things might be today if that whackjob had not murdered Rabin (RIP), or if that POS Arafat had forced the issue by taking the deal Barak offered at Camp David.
There are a lot worse governments out there than Israel's, and they sure have a lot of crap to deal with that very few if any other governments have to deal with, so there is some sympathy there.
The main problem I have is that I do not like financially supporting the Israeli government with my tax dollars. And I feel the exact same way about Egypt - even more so because the Egyptian government is effectively a dictatorship. If these governments want to do their own thing and say to hell with us, then let them do it with their own money, weapons, etc. Cut them all off from American taxpayer dollars.

I never labeled all Palestinians as terrorists. Try living in Israel for 4 years and watching firsthand innocent woman and children being blown up. A nation of people voting in a terrorist government. They chose whom to lie with. Hatred for your enemy is a good thing. I know where you stand.
So are you still comparing me to Hitler?

Oh, that's right. I forgot. There are no innocent Palestinians.
On second thought, nevermind. It sounds like it would bring a smile to your face watching that.
There have been many times more Palestinians killed in the Israeli-Palestinian war than there have been Israelis. Unfortunately for you, Americans are starting to wake up and realize this. The innocent victim card is not working so much any more. There is plenty of blame to go around in Palestine and in Israel.
You are right about one thing: there is no peace process. And as long as there are folks like you in charge of the Israeli government, and folks like Hamas in the Palestinian government (or rather, governments), there never will be.
But never mind all of that because that is all beside the point of the article.
Please explain why American taxpayers should be giving one red cent to Israel (and Egypt if you think we should be giving money to Egypt, too). Especially with our huge budget deficits and destroyed economy.
Otherwise, STFU and go hatemonger somewhere else.

Thanks for showing your true colors. Thankfully the USA doesn't agree with you. Good luck with Buchanan, David Duke and Ron Paul. To even compare a democratic government like Israel to Hamas is stupidity. So you think the war in Afghanistan is unjustified too? What about the innocents there? I'm far from a hate monger I'm just a realist. The Palestinians have themselves to blame for their loss of life. They are not interested in peace. Their leaders only gain by strife. That's the only reason there is no real peace process. Their governments are corrupt and run by homicidal fanatics. Even fatah which is considered moderate in comparison to Hamas has their own terrorist wing. They hide behind their woman and children to fight and we take every possible precaution to save them. It's extremely upsetting to see innocent Palestinians die. Why would we want that? We just want to live in peace in our own land. Israel takes as much precaution against loss of life as possible. Unfortunately when they fire missles and rockets from schools and playgrounds it becomes extremely difficult. The Israeli army is the most moral army in the world. G-D bless the United States of America and Israel. G-D knows we need it with all the enemies we both have in common. Most Americans realize that we are fighting a common enemy who celebrates 9/11 and wants both the big satan and little satan dead.

It actually would be in our strategic interest to tell the Arab and Muslim world that we are through with Israel, we cut all ties, no more money, no more weapons, no more UN vetoes, they are on their own, and y'all have fun. Now I'm sure that would not be in AIPAC's interests, and those of the fifth column here whose true loyalties lie with Israel rather than the USA (maybe even you). But I couldn't give two shits about that.
And you are full of horseshit to say that "Israel is just one of many." Israel is the all-time runaway leader. How about we give Israel the same amount of "foreign aid" per capita that we give to other "friends" and strategic partners like England, Canada, and Japan? Or how about we just let every U.S. taxpayer opt out or opt in on their tax return for how much they want to give to support the poor, indigent Israelis. LOL!

Why glorify the murderers?
Dalal Mughrabi helped kill 38 innocent men, women and children in Israel. Palestinians named a square after her.
By Ron Kehrmann, Yossi Mendelevich and Yossi Zur
March 17, 2010
Vice President Joe Biden took umbrage last week when Israel announced during his visit that it had approved new housing construction in East Jerusalem. But another contentious incident that took place during Biden's visit got far less scrutiny.
March 11 marked the 32nd anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack in Israel's history, and this year the Palestinian Authority decided to honor the 19-year-old leader of the attack, Dalal Mughrabi, by naming a square in a town outside Ramallah after her. The commemoration was scheduled for the anniversary.
The official ceremony was ultimately canceled to avoid antagonizing Biden during his visit, but the square was nevertheless named for Mughrabi, and several dozen Palestinian students from President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement gathered in her honor for an unofficial dedication.
So what was the deed that deserved this commemoration? On a Saturday in March 1978, the squad of Palestinian terrorists led by Mughrabi entered Israel by boat from Lebanon and made their way to the main road between Haifa and Tel Aviv. By day's end, they had murdered 38 innocent men, women and children.
The first person Mughrabi and her gang of terrorists encountered was Gale Rubin, an American photojournalist taking photos of birds near the beach. They killed her and continued on their deadly path.
They then hijacked a bus full of happy families returning from a Saturday excursion. On their way to Tel Aviv, the terrorists shot at passing cars and killed more innocent people.
The terrorists tied all the men's hands to the bus seats. When Israeli security forces stopped the bus, the terrorists ran out while throwing hand grenades into the bus, setting it on fire. The men inside were burned alive.
The three of us writing this article each have experience with Palestinian terrorists. Seven years ago this month, on March 5, 2003, our children were killed by a Palestinian suicide murderer who exploded the bomb he was carrying on a city bus in Haifa. Seventeen people, mostly children on their way home from school, were killed.
Our children were just beginning their lives when that bomb exploded. Tal Kehrmann was 18 years old. Yuval Mendelevich was 13 1/2 . Asaf Zur was almost 17 years old.
We don't believe people who murder children should be held up as heroes. Though the official Ramallah ceremony was canceled, Mughrabi's name will remain on that square. And she is already commemorated in Hebron, where a girls school is named after her.
What message is the Palestinian Authority trying to send to the Palestinian people, especially to the children growing up under its rule? These children are taught to hate Israelis and Jews and to disrespect their own lives.
When the mother of the suicide murderer who killed our children heard about the attack her son committed, she refused to wear customary black clothes because she thought his death should be celebrated rather than mourned. She wore everyday clothes and served her guests candies. How can a mother hate our children more than she loves her own?
How can terrorists use children as human shields in fire exchanges? Where are the parents, teachers, community leaders?
How does a society have a suicide-murderer waiting list of 500 young Palestinians wanting to kill themselves along with Israelis, as was the case during the worst days of the second intifada, when a terror attack occurred almost daily?
The answers lie in years of brainwashing, which starts at a very young age, through education and religious television channels, mosque prayers and lessons that make people believe that death is better than life; that killing innocent people, without distinction, will improve Palestinian life.
The answers are rooted in years of glorifying the murderers, putting their posters on streets, giving their families money and respect, and yes, in naming city squares after them.
Dalal Mughrabi came into Israel 32 years ago this month with one intention: to kill Israelis, randomly, as many as possible. In most countries, she would be condemned for eternity. In today's Palestinian society, she is a heroine.
Israelis want a genuine peace with our neighbors. But as long as Palestinian society glorifies terrorists and murderers such as Mughrabi and the ones who killed our three children, we cannot believe that Palestinians are ready to live in peace with us.
Ron Kehrmann, a former Olympic swimmer, owns a print shop in Haifa. Yossi Mendelevich is a retired engineer in Tel Aviv. Yossi Zur is a software engineer in Haifa. All three work with projects to protect children from terrorism.

Another broadside by the admirable Pat Buchanan. America is today what Germany was during the Weimar period; a completely occupied, subjugated nation controlled by treasonous gang of murderous criminals. Unfortunately your rulers learned well the lessons of the 1930’s so any would be firebrand like Hitler certainly was will be Wellstoned, (Haidered, Fortuyned JFK’d) , before he gets too big for his boots.
America needs to be ruled by the likes of Trafficant, Ron Paul and Jesse Ventura, and yes, David Duke. Not the unspeakable neocon shysters who pull Obama’s strings"
This is the type of person in agreement with you over at Buchanan's site. I bet you feel right at home with the element over there.

By saying we should shed our alliance with Israel, you are at minimum implying this would solve our problems with the Muslim world and provide us with greater supply and pricing for oil. I know you are smarter than this PP because you have to realize alienating ourselves from Israel has not a fucking thing to do with a better Arab relationship long term. The only thing that would satisfy the Arabs long term, as relates to the USA, would be the complete and total destruction of our country and every non-Muslim citizen living here.
I am certain Biden insulted the Israelis with his patronizing bullshit. It was a complete insult to their intelligence and pride. Why would the Israelis seek acceptance for their plans from the USA? Inside, they have to realize just how fucked up we are electing asswipes like Obama and Biden, Pelozi, et al, to run our country. These idiots have fucked up the greatest nation in the history of mankind in 10 years. Israel has essentially created chicken salad from chicken shit. We should be asking Israel for guidance in many areas, not just relating to airline security.

We will disagree on relations with the Muslim world.
But one thing is uncontestable. We would have billions of more dollars kept here in the US or maybe even left in your and my pocket instead of given away in foreign aid. Really, if you and your family were a zillion dollars in debt and getting deeper all the time, cutting back the things you provided for your own family members and still unable to make ends meet without borrowing even more . . . would you then turn around and send money you don't have and are borrowing from others, to some dude who lives on the other side of town who is already doing just fine financially?

I got your "point" - it is just wrong. Nothing to do with "semantics" - you are just comparing apples and gorillas when you compare the skin color someone was born, to a lifestytle choice that someone makes - such as their vocation.
BTW, I would bet that 90-95% or all Muslims were indeed born Muslim. And then again, choosing to become Muslim doesn't evoke a negative-character reaction from me - unlike choosing to join the Mafia, the ACLU, the NEA, NAMBLA, the KKK, the Village Idiots, the Nazi party . . . or the Chicago Police Department.

BTW, I am pretty sure that Hamas was democratically elected in Gaza. Just like Avigdor Lieberman in Israel. They both can go to hell as far as I care.
I stopped feeling sorry for the Palestinian people when they elected Hamas and the images surrounding this story following the collapse of the Twin Towers made it impossible for me to side with them:
A Reuters report filed in Beirut stated: "Jubilant Palestinians took to the streets of refugee camps of Lebanon and the West Bank, waving Palestinian flags and distributing sweets to celebrate the attacks on major U.S. landmarks and government offices."
The same report noted: "In Nablus, motorists honked their horns and gunmen fired into the air from assault rifles to cheer on the attacks which unfolded in the space of a few hours and stunned people around the globe."
The AP film that was not aired reportedly shows "Palestinian policemen celebrating and shooting into the air, in addition to civilians dancing," according to senior Israeli sources. The film was reportedly shot in Nablus, where more than 3,000 demonstrators took to the streets, and in the Balata refugee camp.
Palestinians forcibly confined foreign journalists to a Nablus hotel Tuesday night, guarded by armed Palestinians while festivities took place in the streets outside, according to a Jerusalem Post report.
Israel Television correspondent Oded Granot reported last night that Tanzim militiamen had kidnapped a Palestinian cameraman who shot a report for a major news agency showing Palestinians in Ramallah celebrating the attacks against the United States. This film reportedly includes footage of Palestinian Police firing their assault rifles in the air in celebration as hundreds cheer. This morning the Tanzim reportedly released the cameraman.
Ha'aretz reported that mourners at the funerals of nine Palestinians killed early Wednesday morning in IDF military operations in Jenin cheered in celebration of the terror attacks in the United States.
Maariv reported this morning that Arab students at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem held a party Tuesday night celebrating the attacks and giving out candy to participants. University officials closed the dormitory lounge in which the party was held shortly afterwards, Maariv added.
If they are so upset at the way Isreal reacts to rocket attacks and suicide bombings, quit launching rockets and suicide bombers against them.

BTW, I would bet that 90-95% or all Muslims were indeed born Muslim. And then again, choosing to become Muslim doesn't evoke a negative-character reaction from me - unlike choosing to join the Mafia, the ACLU, the NEA, NAMBLA, the KKK, the Village Idiots, the Nazi party . . . or the Chicago Police Department.
OK, born to your religion but choose to be gay.
Got it.

A Reuters report filed in Beirut stated: "Jubilant Palestinians took to the streets of refugee camps of Lebanon and the West Bank, waving Palestinian flags and distributing sweets to celebrate the attacks on major U.S. landmarks and government offices."
The same report noted: "In Nablus, motorists honked their horns and gunmen fired into the air from assault rifles to cheer on the attacks which unfolded in the space of a few hours and stunned people around the globe."
The AP film that was not aired reportedly shows "Palestinian policemen celebrating and shooting into the air, in addition to civilians dancing," according to senior Israeli sources. The film was reportedly shot in Nablus, where more than 3,000 demonstrators took to the streets, and in the Balata refugee camp.
Palestinians forcibly confined foreign journalists to a Nablus hotel Tuesday night, guarded by armed Palestinians while festivities took place in the streets outside, according to a Jerusalem Post report.
Israel Television correspondent Oded Granot reported last night that Tanzim militiamen had kidnapped a Palestinian cameraman who shot a report for a major news agency showing Palestinians in Ramallah celebrating the attacks against the United States. This film reportedly includes footage of Palestinian Police firing their assault rifles in the air in celebration as hundreds cheer. This morning the Tanzim reportedly released the cameraman.
Ha'aretz reported that mourners at the funerals of nine Palestinians killed early Wednesday morning in IDF military operations in Jenin cheered in celebration of the terror attacks in the United States.
Maariv reported this morning that Arab students at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem held a party Tuesday night celebrating the attacks and giving out candy to participants. University officials closed the dormitory lounge in which the party was held shortly afterwards, Maariv added.

This probably needs a new thread... but...
"No one chooses to be gay" is a red herring. Do some people have greater natural tendencies toward homosexuality than others? Sure. So what? Some people have greater natural tendencies than others to do LOTS of things that they shouldn't do. That doesn't suddenly make it okie dokie when they give in to their desire to do it.
Some men have an uncontrollable desire to stick their dick into women who don't want it there. Many of them apparently just can't help themselves. We call that rape. Maybe they were born with the tendency. Who knows? Doesn't make it ok.
I have a tendency to want to slam my car into the dipshit in a Prius in front of me who refuses to turn right on red. One of these days I just might do it, but I sure hope not. If I do, is it because I just couldn't resist the natural tendency toward that behavior, or is it because I made a choice to act on it?

Out of the whole thread this is the only thing that hit home for me. That and withdrawing 2.5 Billion in annual aid.

This is a quote by Golda Meir who was elected Prime Minister of Israel in 1969 becoming the world’s second elected female leader in modern times. I am obviously biased because I am a proud American Jew who has half his family living in Israel. America is the greatest Republic ever and Israel only exists because of America. Israel is surrounding by enemies who have tried and will continue to try and destroy it's existence. I would argue that the Jewish race is actually the most persecuted race in the history of mankind. Cutting of foreign aid is not a simple thing let alone Israel that requires the aid to exist. There are many consequences for the United Sates as well. The majority of the foreign aid that is sent to Israel is paid right back to America for weapons which creates plenty of jobs. America and Israel have many common interests and enemies. It looks like many people on this thread have forgotten 9-11 and do not understand our enemies mentalities. Even if Israel ceased to exist America will still be the great satan in the eyes of extremest Muslim. They will do everything in their power to destroy America and soon they will have nuclear weapons thanks to Iran.

And speaking of terrorism, did you know that many of Israel's leaders over the years were formerly terrorists themselves?
You really should do some independent research and look into the facts - historical and on the ground - before just buying off 100% on the AIPAC party line you have been sold.
There are a lot of victims but NO GOOD GUYS here. Not Hamas. Not Fatah. Not AIPAC. Not the USA. Not the US-supported tyrannies in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, UAE, Kuwait, etc. And sure as hell not Likud, Avigdor Lieberman, Netanyahu, and the Israeli government.

First , I'd like to see your link for you TRUTH fact as to the death tolls and from reliable sources. (not judging them one way or the other, just want to see what you are basing this on.) And last I checked the Israelis were not lobing bombs and rockets indiscriminately at the Palestinians. The Palestinians should be targeting legitimate military targets and not hiding in areas where if struck, innocent civilians would become casualties. Both sides need to adhere to the Law of Armed Conflict., but if you are launching attacks from populated areas or mosques and such, don't complain when you get return fire. I would think that the Palestinians would care enough about their innocent people as to not put them in harms way.
2nd one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter/defender.
3rd show me where I said I was buying off on the AIPAC party line. I don't even know what AIPAC is. I was just throwing in a quote I heard as I though it was kind of relevant to the conversation
