Sorry it has taken so long to add a comment to the topic I posted. Ok Palerider:
1. The Israelis are committing ethnic cleansing on the Palestinians just like Hitler tried to do to the Jews. I think Arm Chair General pretty much cleared that up for all of us, as well as the "building permit" thing that Coyote mentioned. They obviously couldn't use gas chambers, but they ARE trying to replace the area's demographic and result to killing innocent people to accomplish their means. Just because the IDF uses more sophisticated weaponry does not mean they're any better than Jihadis. Blasting an entire neighborhood of innocent people with American-made Apache helicopters just because you 'think' a terror suspect is there is just as completely worthless and low-down as blowing yourself up in a Starbucks. 2. Answer the question, don't beat around the bush! Why is it every time anyone criticizes the genocide, or 'retaliations' as you call it, they eventually become accused of being anti-semetic when the pro-israeli side of the argument gets backed into a corner (because you can't polish a turd-'turd' being Israel's actions, not Israel itself). 3. Israel is a rogue state. It has NO respect for any other nation except a (probably fake) respect for the U.S. Haven't you ever followed any U.N. meeting involving Israel? They always get up and walk out like spoiled children when members of the Security Council tell them things they don't like--and the U.S. always follows. Israel is like the 'skinny kid on the block' who will get his big brother(U.S.) to bully you if you don't let him have his way. 4. Asked them for anything? Why haven't they helped us in this stupid war? They only tried to take advantage of the situation with their miserable attempt at the Lebanese land grab. Why aren't they in Iraq. Why don't they take our wounded soldiers into their hospitals? Where were they in the first Gulf War. Israel is NO ally of the United States! What about that U.S. sailor they just convicted for spying on us and giving the IDF classified info on our nuclear submarines? Don't think for a second that Israel is any true friend of the U.S.! They'd abandon us (well..at least all of the Gentiles in America) in a heartbeat if it would further their own agenda. Oh, yes there IS a Constitutional separation of church and state. The First Amendment. By granting and enforcing freedom to all religious practice, the U.S. government can't interfere with religious organizations--that includes supporting a particular religious organization. Sure, religious organizations lobby the government, but there IS a constitutional separation of church and state. Why do you think those freaks are so pissed that their kids can't pray in school? If you teach kids Protestant Creationism, you'd be going against the Catholic notion that God created us by the method of evolution. Hopefully this example can help you see the Constitutional separation of church and state. 6. I was not saying that I wanted the U.S. to administer foreign policy based on Torah. I was asking why Israel would have any foreign alliances. This question has nothing to do with U.S. foreign policy. I'm asking why, from the Israeli perspective, would Israel have any foreign alliances considering the fact that basically Jewish Law prohibits it. The questions I asked ARE serious questions. You just get bogged down by semantics Palerider. You obviously are extremely biased about Israel and try to pick apart the details of my statements because you don't like the obvious truth. Don't tell me that my position is based on sarcasm and exaggeration! My position is based on fact. Israel murders innocent Palestinians, it is committing ethnic cleansing, it has never sacrificed anything to help the United States, and it has no regard for the opinions of other nations in regard to its foreign policy. YOUR position is the inaccurate position. Your position is not only based on exaggeration and sarcasm, but on blindness, spinning the truth, and basically being a blockhead. I HAVE asked serious questions (why else have you engaged in this discussion like you have?). Now, why don't YOU give some serious ANSWERS instead of nitpicking technicalities (which, by the way, you are wrong about) like some sort of bottom-feeder.
