I don’t agree with you Israel is a sovereign democracy not a vessel state of America. If our troops pulled guns and were
not coordinating with IDF and were trying to take sides in a local affair they were BUDINSKY’S and should have minded their P”s & Q’s. This has Sheik Obama’s fingerprints all over it.

The land in question here is not Israeli land, it is Palestinian. But, these Palestinian lands are occupied territory, so, IDF has authority over them.

The underlying issue is the 5000 recently planted olive trees that were uprooted by, it is thought, the settlers at the Adei Ad outpost. The US diplomats went to inspect the trees because supposedly some of these Palestinians were US citizens. That is when the settlers from Adei Ad attacked the diplomats.

I don’t care where they were, these were US citizens and representatives of the US government. There should be ZERO TOLERANCE for ANYONE attacking them.

Used to be that Americans could travel anywhere and be safe because we were Americans. That day is long gone and a sad statement of our decline in the world.
