It's amazing that some people instead of confusing themselves by looking at
facts and the truth,
believe - and worse -spew propaganda they read or hear!
Now that's some food for thought!

Israel is a real can of worms. If you were a Palestinian confined in a
secured occupied territory and had to witness helicopter gunships and tanks
supplied and made by America help destroy your villages, you might be just a
bit pissed off at the supplier of the arms and aid. When was the last time
you saw Palestinian helicopters and tanks attack Israel? They don't
have any. The Israelis are shooting fish in a barrel when they take
gunships and tanks into occupied territories. Palestinian throw rocks and
Israelis open up with automatic weapons fire. Not exactly a fair conflict!
The US supplies aid to Israel in amazing amounts. The last time I checked
it was roughly $2000 per Israeli citizen, that is the documented US aid. If
you don't believe me, check it out yourself. I believe I last saw the
figures on the CIA website! (Your tax dollars at work!)
Why we support Israel is beyond me. In that regard we have made ourselves a
target. Jews, Muslims, and Christians were living peacefully next to each
other before 1948 when outside forces decided to make Palestine into a
Jewish state. Now we pretty much stand alone in our assistance to Israel.
I now have a hard time distinguishing which side has the most terrorists.
However it is clear to me who is who is the occupier and who is the
occupied. Palestinians are at best, second class citizens in Israel and
when locked down, they are simply prisoners. It is not a lot different than
Apartheid in South Africa. Why do you think these people have the
desperation to strap on explosives and kill themselves? It sure isn't
because they want
to be good Muslims. People who are willing to kill themselves for a cause
are a very dangerous and very difficult to stop. They are the ultimate
smart bomb.
