Absolutely not. I am 110% for the US supporting Israel

No, and it would be futile. Both useless Senators and the blockhead that represents my district are all unequivocal supporters of the Zionist regime who also happen to be literalist X-tian quacks. They are simply beyond reason, and even encourage this type of destructive behavior by the Israeli militants so that Zionist X-tians could arbitrarily fulfill Biblical prophecy.

America & all Americans should had done this long ago to stop these unappreciative fascists to blindly control the world to their own advantages.

But I'm content.
People are finally awaken through out the world and will not fall for jews samo samo playing victim and their constant BS's.

They've made the world bankrupt because of their greed.

Every one should thank you, gypsy-cat, Jurgen and your thoughtfulness.

Jurgen

I already have: two senators and twelve representatives. So have most of my friends.

Beat ya to it! And as you are aware, I'm very eloquent and persuasive ;)
Since we have a number of U.S. senators and congresspeople on Israel's payroll (that is, they have both U.S. and Israeli citizenship) we need to work vigorously to overthrow these people. It's already been brought to many peoples' attention in my area. We're all becoming vastly tired of being the United States of Israel, both financially and ideologically. Opposition leaders are bringing the situation to the forefront. Find out which politicians work for Israel rather than Americans, and work to t'row da bums out!

Jim: I went you one better today ;)----I called my two senators and my state rep in DC. Two of them---Sen. Debbie Stabenow and U.S. Rep. Dale Kildee---were very receptive. Their secretaries even asked for my phone #. Not surprisingly, the other---U.S. senator Carl "AIPAC" Levin---was not, but no worries; we in the Amnesty International community here in Michigan will be campaigning hard against him when the next election rolls 'round.

Lol----Teresa must have a pret-ty high opinion of herself if she thinks she's capable of starting an "international incident"...and she refuses to agree with "UN demands"?
Am I missing something here, Jim....is Teresa, like, our AMBASSADOR to the UN or something? ;)

Sadly, the politicians believe it financially disadvantageous to offer anything but blind unwavering support for this occupation. U.S. 'powers that be' were party to this manipulation from the beginning with fellow conspirators at the time.

They're not counting bodies, I don't even think they're really understanding what they are supporting anymore. I'm completely disgusted at the total disregard for human life on all sides!

I think it is in America's best interest to support Israel. That area is a hotbed of extremists who would just as soon see the US destroyed. Israel is one of our few allies in the area, and I believe we owe her our support.

Why just yesterday, I sent an e-mail to Rep. Keith Ellison asking him why Arabs are raising gas prices again, if anyone knows he does.

I completely support the help of American forces to Israel. I would never dream of complaining to end this.

harajuku lover

nope i have always loved the fact that america supports israel.

~Sawyer

Nope. I support Israels' right to defend herself.

I've already written to both my Congress and Senate Reps. I've also written to the United Nations, the Israeli Embassy, and the Embassies of the primary Arab countries involved in this endless proxy war against Israel. And I don't care if I start an international incident over it. It's time for the world stop beating Israel up for defending itself. I've also let them know that most of the member states of the United Nations would would be speaking German today if we had been forced to fight WWII "proportionately". That's the dumbest idea to come along since the term "islamaphobia". Which reminds me, I also made it clear that I will never agree to the demands the UN-OIC is trying to force on the freedom loving people of the world.

Arieh

Sorry, but although I'm disgusted by the shameful death of innocents in Gaza, I must, in the long run, support Israel no matter how distasteful the thought is today.

wider scope

No, I have written to urge more support.

not at all. I'm just surprised they waited so long

Could Have Seen This War Coming
By Richard Cohen

Nearly a year ago, I was in the southern Israeli city of Sderot, where, on almost any day, you could see the current war coming. "The next Middle East war may start over Sderot," I wrote back then. I came by my prescience the hard way -- in a bomb shelter. That day, three Qassam rockets had hit the city. It took no genius to see the imminence of war. It takes real stupidity to blame it on Israel.

On some days, dozens of rockets fell on Sderot. A blimp hovered over the town, and when it electronically spied an incoming rocket, the sirens went off. In Sderot, the sirens were virtually a single wail on some days. Everyone took shelter because shelters are everywhere -- a constant reminder of the nearness of death or, at the very least, destruction. Even a dud can bust through the roof of a house.

I get the impression that Israel is expected to put up with this. The implied message from demonstrators and some opinion columnists is that this is the price Israel is supposed to pay for being, I suppose, Israel. I am informed by a Palestinian journalist in a Washington Post op-ed article that Israel is trying to stop "amateur rockets from nagging the residents of some of its southern cities." In Sderot, I saw homes nagged to smithereens.

While I was reading the online version of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz for all the latest news about the war, a pop-up ad announced itself: "Camp Kimama, Israel, 2009 -- What childhood memories should be made of." The picture shows kids frolicking in the water. Placed next to stories about battle, it was a jarring -- but vivid -- statement of war aims: the expectation of normal life.

The CIA's World Factbook says that Israel has a population of 7,112,359. Of these, about 5,434,000 are Jews. That includes 187,000 settlers in the West Bank, about 20,000 in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights bordering Syria, and about 175,000 in East Jerusalem. It does not include, however, the approximately 750,000 Israelis living in the United States -- some for a brief amount of time, some for an extended period, some permanently. For a variety of reasons -- and often with considerable pain -- they have given up on the country of their birth.

As the leaders of Hamas understand, the war in Gaza is about Israel's incessant fight to be a normal country. Maybe that's impossible. The war between Arab and Jew predates the founding of Israel in 1948. For the Palestinians, it is a fierce fight for Arab justice, for Arab pride, for Arab myth -- for ancestral houses and orange groves that few living have ever seen. For Israel, it is so kids can swim in a lake.

Three years ago, Israel pulled out of the Gaza Strip. Good, the world said. Next, pull out of the West Bank, the world said. But then Hamas, which has vowed to destroy Israel, won the election in Gaza. Sderot soon became hell. The West Bank is controlled by Fatah, the moderate Palestinian organization, which once had control of Gaza, too. If Israel withdraws from the West Bank, will rockets come from there? If you lived in Tel Aviv, a spit from the West Bank, would you take the chance?

Anyone could have seen this war coming. The diplomats and demonstrators who are now so engaged in the problem and the process were nowhere to be found when rockets began raining down on southern Israel. The border between Gaza and Egypt is riddled with tunnels -- some for food, some for weapons. The international monitors that are so evidently needed now were just as evidently needed then.

Conventional wisdom says that when Israel went into Lebanon in 2006, it lost that war. Hezbollah stood up to the mighty Israeli army; Israel could not muzzle Hezbollah's rockets. That may not be the way Hezbollah sees things, however. After the war, its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, said he had miscalculated. He was not prepared for the fury of the Israeli attack. He apologized. Now, Hezbollah takes no role in the current war. It will be back, but still has wounds to lick.

The horrors of war are not to be dismissed or demeaned. In 2006, Israel accidentally killed 28 civilians in the Lebanese village of Qana when it attempted to take out a nearby rocket site. In Gaza, innocent Palestinians are being killed. The suffering is great and cannot be ignored. But what has been ignored is the series of events that led to this war. Anyone could see how it was going to start. As always, though, it's a lot harder to see how it ends.

Not at all. Really America and the world couldn't be less interested in how tired you may be.
Live a while before you start changing the world to suit yourself.
