Anyone who has actually watched the events of the last few decades would laugh at such a statement. The far more common case is that Israel sits there like a marshmallow getting poked at and doing next to nothing while Washington sternly warns it to keep sitting there. It might snipe down a terrorist or two if it's lucky. Then once in a blue moon like now Israel undertakes a really energetic action, and the whole liberal world is simply appalled.
All Israel's "fascism" would vanish overnight if the Arab resolve to shove it into the sea also vanished.
"Our propping up of fascist Israel has made us a target. We need to quit supporting them"
this is a bad idea on so many facets. especially Biblical.
calling Israel fascist is parallel with Ahamdinejad today referring to Israel's recent defensive actions as akin to hitler. & this from one whose goals & ideology are that of neo nazis ie desiring Israel's destruction & denying the holocaust.
Postal, are you in agreement with our mortal enemy the leader of Iran ? based on your post you sound like an anti semitic muslim or an isolationist aryan antisemite.
are you either ? how do you expect to be perceived after saying that of Israel ?
"Shall we start taking sides in religious wars?"
9/11 was religiously motivated. should we thus not have not have responded ?
"We were one of the last countries to ban slavery."
the holdouts are mostly muslim.
muslims continue to enslave Christians & other muslims on the African continent et al. we need to halt this, militarily if necessary. some middle eastern immigrants even do the same here in the States to smuggled young women whom they treat as animals & force into demeaning & degrading labor.
"Japanese Imperialism , there would have been no war with Japan if we had not tried to confine them to their islands."
confinement?
Japan was all over the place in the pacific. you do recall that theater of WW2 yes ?? their fear of American citizens with rifles was what kept them from invading the U.S. after Pearl Harbor. i spent the 1st few years of life in Japan as a military brat right after the war as part of our military occupation. one of our own Japanese aquaintences had said that if they had won the war, they would have enslaved the U.S..
"our governments propaganda." most of what i consider propaganda i hear from leftists/democrats, communist agitators ie international answer, cindy sheehan, et al who prefer defeatist suicidal pacifism over sound national defense & who also label our own country's proactive self defense as imperialist aggression. they also tend to treat Israel & the U.S.'s common enemies/aggressors as victims instead of the instigating islamofascist communists they are.
got to Protestwarrior.com & zombietime.com. check out Protest Warrior's videos of the communist "antiwar activists" carrying palestinian flags & their podium speaker calling opposition to specific communist & or muslim islamofascist insurgencies in south America, the Philipines et al "occupations". that is propaganda & it isn't coming from the Bush administration. it's coming from American communists/socialists who display their agitprop literature at Democrat rallies on the Washington mall. why do they show up when democrats do ??? why do democrat statements against the war parallel some of the same ideas that the communist organization international Answer is pubicly stating ?? or that our enemies in Iran, Iraq, N. Korea, Afghanistan, Hizbollah, Hamas, Al Jazeerah are copying ??
on zombietime.com find the picture of the democrat founder of Moveon.org and the socialist/marxist political activist sitting together as consultants to take questions at a Berkely political gathering. also the one of cindy sheehan speaking at a maoist communist org's public rally & being real chummy with the leader.
thus, who is really stating propaganda & who is our enemy ??
is it the Bush adminstration, or the democrats, their cohorts & the axis of evil ??
the Communists [snip] still have control of more of the world than we do"
an aggressive military buildup ended the cold war. if Russia is covertly waiting to revert to full blown communism again, this would not surprise me. it's just more motivation for military preparation, vigilance & tough no nonsense international policy.
"(even if they do not call themselves that anymore)"
no, now they show themselves to be leftist college professors, individuals in the American democrat leadership & many in the LSM, possibly some RINOs & definitely specific political orgs masquerading as anti war protestors.
