Your response is foolish but not unexpected. I'm pretty sure an American citizen cannot join a foreign army. To give an opinion on what side to take in a fight, does not mean one needs to physically join the fight.
I could root for the crew of the Apollo 13 to make it home safely without volunteering to get on a ship to go into space on a rescue mission.
I can pray for our troops as they go into dangerous caves without having to be there. We are allowed to do that.
I used to think you were just foolish after reading a few of your articles. If people actually read what you write and are influenced, you are actually dangerous.
I'll say it again if you need to hear it. Terrorist scum have again killed innocent civilians and defiled their own religion. WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR CRAP!
amen
Wrong. Ever hear of dual citizenship, bud? How many Israelis are immigrants from ... Brooklyn? Whom do you think is manning the "settlements" that make peace impossible? The solution: make Israel the 51st state, or else cut them loose. (They get more "foreign aid" than many states in the Union).
As for "moral equivalence," the Palestinians and the Israelis, both being motivated by religious nutball-ism, are indeed morally equivalent. Both are wrong. Neither side should be supported. And certainly America has no vital interest in either establishing a Palestinian state, or protecting the Israeli state from its own excesses.
Yes, yes, I know: Israel is a "democracy" -- the Palestinians are not. The Israelis NEVER target innocent civlians -- ahem! -- but the Palestinian nutballs are blowing themselves up all over Israel. But Israel will not be a "democracy" for long: it must go the way of Sparta, not Athens, if it keeps on this suicidal course of expansionism and aggression. And we've all seen what the Occupation has done to both sides. The only solution is that there is no solution -- not one we can impose. The US must get out of the Middle East, totally and completely: quarantine the whole area, which is populated only by vipers and scorpions. Let them fight over religion all they want -- just don't drag us into it.
