Fuck Israel. They shouldve stayed in their defined borders and quit encroaching on Palestinian land. The US should really defer from interfering with this situation, unless we want additional terrorist events.
[QUOTE=lazyguy;22311448]You...
You do realise that America only declared war on Germany because they were allied to the Japanese, who attacked America?
You do realise that nobody, not even the Germans, was aware of the death camps until the allies discovered them?[/QUOTE]
Everyone knew something was happening to the Jews. The extensiveness of the death camps wasn't known, but they were being rounded up and hunted down.
America had its hands deep into World War 2 before joining it. The Americans were pumping billions into Britain, France and the Soviets war economies, including delivering them masses of war material.
[QUOTE=GunFox;22295007]True, but the only good outcome here is if both Israel and the Gazans come to the peace talk table. We cannot step in, aside from providing advice to Israel, without seriously fucking things up.
If Israel gets fed up, then they roll over the strip and claim everything. With lots of civilians dead.
If Israel goes under as a result of our actions, then the region comes under control by parties which loathe the United States. We would effectively produce an enemy.
The best bet is to sit this one out.[/QUOTE]
Maybe if we didn't support Israel we would probably not be making so many enemies. The U.S had so many chances to punish Israel and get some support from the Arab nations however we didn't, instead we made shit worse.

In the times you are referring to, Arab nations were generally significantly worse than Israel. Obviously not all of them, but I really don't see how you think the Americans could somehow be morally superior by supporting them.
BurnEmDown, how can you be so fucking obstinate?
They took the passengers recording equipment, they cut off communications from the ship, they refuse to release all of their footage regarding the event, and the only footage we have from the protesters side shows the IDF firing first.
There comes a point when it's just fucking lunacy to keep denying what happened.
You'd think the US would stop backing Israel after this.
At this point the IDF is operating like a terrorist organization.
