US condemns Israel over shelling of UN shelter and high civilian casualties in Gaza - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;45559147]The White House speaks for the administration. It's not accurate to say they speak for the entire country. They sure as hell don't speak for Congress.[/QUOTE] you didn't really get how international relations work and how they're presented in news stores when you decided to go on this tediously pointless semantic crusade lol

[QUOTE=Gentry;45559162]you didn't really get how international relations work and how they're presented in news stores when you decided to go on this tediously pointless semantic crusade lol[/QUOTE] You're supposed to put "lmao", not "lol"

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;45557901]Okay, serious question here. Leaving aside the ties individual Jews in America have to family in Israel/Israel itself, and the evangelical Christian boner for Israel, [B]what does Israel do for America?[/B] What [B]value[/B] is there? They're not a big oil nation. They aren't a massive manufacturing powerhouse. They take billions of US dollars in aid and tons of military technology (which they sometimes sell to the Chinese). What do they do for America?[/QUOTE]Our relationship with Israel is complicated and it does complicate our relations with others. They do take money, but they also do give some interesting things back, such as defense technology (flows both ways, honestly) and when their intelligence community decides to play nice they'll warn us about things sometimes. (and we'll ignore it most of the time, why I don't know) We could easily get by without them, but having them as a friend makes our lives easier.

[QUOTE=Pyroknight;45559250]You're supposed to put "lmao", not "lol"[/QUOTE] I'm more depressed at the general stupidity of it all than to find it truly personally amusing.

[QUOTE=The golden;45558275]Monkah, both you and Hammer7 pretty much spam-rate every single person who posts something that is even remotely disagreeable to your stance on the topic. Even people like elixwhitetail who is just asking a question get dumbed by you. You should consider your self lucky you haven't been banned yet because rating spam is bannable.[/QUOTE] So because I rated "dumb" your obviously dumb post (considering there are also non-Israeli people who did the same) you mark me as a rating spammer. Interesting.

The Golden has got to be the biggest cry baby on the entire forum though. I rarely see a post from him that isn't whining about something. Guy really needs to get a grip.

I'm actually watching the Russian Israeli channel online (channel 9) They're butthurt over losing over 60 Israeli soldiers for nothing, they're saying that they died for nothing because they didn't achieve anything. They're saying that Hamas will just rearm itself and the deaths of the soldiers will be for nothing. They're currently contemplating doing a final massacre to get rid of Hamas once and for all. They're saying that they're a tired of kissing US's and UN's ass. They're saying that they're going endure the sanctions that the UN will will most likely impose on them after this massacre because Eliminating Hamas once and for all is worth it.

[QUOTE=The golden;45563512]I believe I've already given [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1262451&p=45343371&viewfull=1#post45343371"]my opinion on you[/URL] so I'm not stating it again. Please just add me to your ignore list because you clearly consider me the worst thing on this forum and cannot tolerate seeing me posting. That would be fantastic, thanks.[/QUOTE] Don't flatter yourself. You're far from the worst poster on these forums.
