I was the one who posted that and was since corrected -- we turned them down because we didn't need any outside help, not because of any fear of offending our Muslim "friends."

Considering that there's looting going on, why shouldn't the Israeli aid workers have some protection?

He's on another thread starting the same shit. Of course, he won't back up any of his allegations.

[Petronski]

As I often have to remind myself at church or in biblical study, the act of giving is not just about whether the recipient is worthy, it is as much about offering the gift and the heart of the giver. Israel is doing the right thing, regardless of the reaction.

The US military regularly trains with troops from several nations on our soil. They have been doing so for years. Not all of those troops are from NATO member countries either.

Yes, I know, but I still think there would be some freeper outrage if they were seen in a disaster area, armed.
