Though any critical statement would ring hollow, considering that we finance a large part of Israel’s war machine. As of April 2014, Israel has collected 121 billion dollars from America, making it the largest recipient of US aid in history. This aid has been almost entirely been of the military variety. In 2014 alone we will give 3.5 billion dollars to Israel, almost all of which will certainly be used to purchase weaponry.
Since it seems clear that President Obama does not share the GOP’s unconditional love for Israel (he recently admonished Israel to put themselves in the place of the Palestinians, to recognize their “right to self-determination, their right to justice.”) I wish to suggest that he immediately issue an Executive Order to end U.S. military aid to Israel. Our continued financial endorsement of the Israeli campaign is tantamount to sending our own troops into battle. Our support of the Israeli military must be stopped, and it must be stopped immediately.
I wish to make clear that Hamas certainly is not blameless in this war, but their existence and popularity are symptoms of this never-ending conflict, not the cause. For decades Fatah was in charge of Palestine, and they accomplished little in the cause for statehood and a respectable peace with Israel. Eventually the Palestinians turned to the more aggressive and militant Hamas to further their goals.
The pattern is familiar. The radicalization of the Palestinian people was entirely predictable to any student of history. The rise of the Third Reich was in large part due to the ludicrous terms foisted upon the German people by the Allies in the Treaty of Versailles. World War 1 was followed by a decade-long economic depression, where the incompetent Weimar Republic squandered the resources and trust of the German people. The crushing debt and humiliation heaped upon the Germans made them hungry for any leader that would promise a return to normalcy. Enter Adolph Hitler and his goose-stepping cronies. Desperate people will turn to almost anyone for help.

Oh my gosh…the crazy far left nutjob returns. They say that a broken clock is still right twice a day, but nutjob Lucy Raed can’t even surpass that. Now she is a shill for the Islamic terrorist group Hamas as she spreads antisemitic hate on Israel. Somehow the fact that all of this started with the kidnapping and murder of three teenage boys by terrorists linked to Hamas seems to elude her. After the Israeli Security Agency made multiple raids to conduct arrests, Hamas started launching rockets into Israel. Israel retaliated and it has continued ever since. Hamas started it.
Not only that, but Egypt brokered a peace deal between Israel and Palestine, but Hamas refused to sign off on it. Israel agreed to end hostilities, but Hamas did not. Israel also does everything it can to avoid civilian casualties. It takes the unusual step of calling the person whose home targeted so he or she has time to leave. Hamas, on the other hand, intentionally puts civilians, especially women and children, in harm’s way. They hide missiles in hospitals, schools, mosques and bunkers. They even booby-trapped a donkey with explosives so it would become a suicide bomber. (Talk about cruelty to animals!) Yet Hamas gets almost no blame and zero condemnation. It is excused as being a “symptom.”
Wrong. The Palestinians knew what they were getting with Hamas when enough of them voted them into office. It’s charter seeks the destruction of Israel, which should make it obvious to anyone with an I.Q. higher than a walnut’s that it doesn’t want peace. Hamas and Fatah both brainwash children by teaching them to hate Jews and Israel from birth. Hamas, for those who don’t know, is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, which Egypt recently had the sense to get rid of. The Muslim Brotherhood, in turn, comes out of Nazified Muslims who supported Hitler. They continue to love his book “Mein Kampf” as well as “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.” Several years ago the most popular song in much of the Middle Eastern Muslim world was “I Hate Israel.” This is the mindset of Hamas. It is no better than ISIS, which is set to commit genocide against Christians and Shiites.
Yet, like other brain-dead ultra far-left extremists, Raed blames the victim and pretty much ignores the aggressor. Hysterically she cites the tyrannical left-wing dictatorship in Venezuela and newly Islamist Turkey for support. Maybe she can call up David Duke and cite his opinion too.
Nutjob
The Romans were very smart. They destroyed Carthage and sold its survivors into slavery. Carthage never bothered Rome again.
Israeli politicians are stupid. They let Gaza attack Israel again and again. Just destroy Gaza and end the conflict already!
The rantings of an Israeli Nazi…..!
