It is true that every nation has to defend themselves but when you have a military like Israel has -- with American jets, choppers, and bombs --- you can use pinpoint accuracy, intel agencies, and your military special forces to take out terrorists. You don't have to destroy a nation and its cities in order to destroy the terrorists you are seeking. Israel is deliberately targeting civilian areas and they are doing this with the full backing of the United States government.
Israel has the sympathy of the religious wackos in America and that's one of the reasons why American politicians back Israel. Republicans and Democrats in Congress refuse to go against Israel because they do not want to be called anti-semites and they want to be on the good side of the Israeli lobby. Now I know some people will say that Democrats are supposedly progressive but I disagree with that idea because of how Democratic politicians vote in Congress. Let's look at all the things the Democratic party supports:
- Democrats support Israel unconditionally
- Democrats are against gay marriage
- Democrats voted for the Iraq war
- Democrats support an attack on Iran
- Democrats voted for Bush's tax cuts
- Democrats support Bush's illegal alien supporting guest worker program
The Democrats support the same issues as the Republicans therefore they are not really that progressive. I know some people will call me an anti-semite and say I hate Jews but that is one of their prized tactics to shift the focus of the argument. I do not hate Jews, I just hate what the Israeli government is putting innocent civilians through.
