Israel launders for the USA, in Israeli banks, while they play victim, 1 trillion dollars of Afghan heroin money.Israel receives on the table, 3 billion dollars annually and cohort Egypt 2 billion dollars annually, to assist in their holocaust agenda (under the table the sweetheart deals translate into much more )The 400 billion profits from the USA'S military industial complex/buddy system, depends on the here a war, there a war, everywhere a war war. The Iraq war costs 1 million dollars per minute. The war profiteers' extraordinary greed, is exceeded only by their disregard for this planet and all human life.Nuclear waste is deposited in the middle East via depleted uranium tipped missiles and the depleted uranium circulates around the globe forever.

Those people have been fighting since Cain and Able, and no one will ever stop them. So just let them keep on fighting and the USA keep their nose out of it, and take care of the things that need fixing here in our own country.

The battle in gGza was requested by Hamas as soon as they fired the first rocket! Unfortunately, some innocent people in Gaza had to suffer for their support of the Hamas terrorists. Until the moderate Palestinians stop supporting the radical Palestinian elements who kill innocent women and children in Israel, then hide behind their own people as exploited human targets like the cowards and blackguards they are, there will be war in the area. The Israelites have every right to defend themselves, and while they did not owe the Palestinians anything before, they really and truly don't owe them anything now! Israel has time and time again offered land, peace, and many other concessions to the Palestinians, whether they really had to or not (and they did not!); yet radical groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and a good part of Fatah, just to name a few, insist on disrupting and spilling the pot square on the stove. And preach hatred towards innocent Israelites & Americans...what is that? If such fringe groups (granted, a very large fringe) really cared about their people, they would sit down peacefully and legitimately negotiate, but they won't. And their supporters who blindly encourage them egg them on, and so get what they deserve...a battle. If someone in my neighboring town fired rockets into my town, you better believe I would be right over the river where I live, ready to hand out a "whupping extraordinaire"...I have the right to self-defense. The Israelites do, too; they have put up with enough abuse through the ages--so you bet I support their definitive invasion of Gaza. And they were even offering cease-fires to ship in humanitarian aid to citizens caught in the middle; how can anyone doubt the Israelites are the good guys, here (they almost always are!). Israel has often offered to "share the loaf" with it's neighbors, but they want the whole darned bakery. So how's this? I am an American, a white Republican, and pro-military (there are still a few of us left). I am also pro-righteousness, and the Israelites are being done wrong. Now no-one wants a war, *B*U*T* (!): if it came to that, I would support us intervening militarily in the Middle East on behalf of Israel on a major scale, because not only Hamas, Hezbollah, and a plethora of other groups have a good whupping coming, but so do a number of other countries who support terrorism. I fear nothing, alot of Americans still also feel the same way, and if the "bad guy" coutries/groups want to find out "where the bear-flop lies in the buckwheat", by golly, we're the ones who can show them! So keep it up, terrorists, and you'll get your "Crusade" & "Martyrdom" alot sooner than you think. No righteous jury would convict us, & bring the sun-tan oil, cuz the *H*E*L*L* you've earned and are going to is hot indeed!
(Now I am all cranked up...if I had a buck-three-eighty in my pocket, I think I would hop a plane over there right now & set you all straight)!!

As one former Israelite once said, there will never be any peace until the Palestinians start loving their own children more than they hate us. It seems to me that they are willing to throw away there future for nothing but hate.
For those who ask the Israelites to unilaterally stop any military response to Hamas’ rockets, I suggest that talk the Hamas leaders to take a sabbatical for a while with Israel so everyone can get a breather. While they are doing that, we’ll allow them to start lobbing their indiscriminate rockets toward your home so they can keep their abilities up to a tip top level. That way they’ll be ready to go when they once again get their smuggling tunnels dug again and get fully rearmed. I don’t think we have to wonder just how long you’d be cool with that. I wonder what France would do if a group of discontent Muslims started lobbing rockets toward the outskirts of Paris.

Since Obama is the mesiah and can walk on water, he should be able to achive peace in the middle east.

On a day like today, all things are possible
No need to disparage the actions of any. Hope is real today, change is not just a word but an emotion. Tangible, electric.
Maybe, just maybe, for one day, today, we can live in a world where we really believe. If America can have a black man as president, is it really too much to believe there can be peace in the Middle East? That we can obtain our freedom from oil? That our nation's prosperity will reach all classes, all incomes, all races and all creeds? That rights are not limited to what we have previously efined, but what is just in the America of tomorrow? That for today we can set aside our differences and agree to see our "better angels"?
For today, on a day like today, let's all try to see the positive and reflect on the magnitude of what we accomplished today. I think rest of the world will be doing that with us today; Israelis, Paletinians, Muslims, Jews - no labels today. We're all just people today and our world is a better place for what happened today. We are all reminded all things are indeed possible and that's pretty cool.

No American president or any other head of state has ever been able to cause Israel and it's Arab neighbors to live in peace with one another since the inception of the nation of Israel.
President Obama will fare no better.
The only people on earth that can achieve that goal are the people of Israel and it's Arab neighbors.
This country needs to concentrate on domestic needs for the present and the future and let Israel and it's Arab neighbors solve their own problems.
Only when they come to that reality can anyone else in the world help them.
