Israel uses artillery and planes to fire shells and drop bombs on it's neighbor and now America is going to pay to rebuild what the Israelis destroyed? Why are we giving them weapons? Why are we giving them money? And why are we paying for their wars? Shouldn’t that money at least be deducted from the hundreds of millions we send them every year in foreign aid?
PS: Go ahead and call me and “anti-semite.” I know anytime anyone questions anything regarding Israel he or she is immediately labeled a bigot. Funny how that works. Anyone can say anything they like about me and they are simply labeled “a person with an opinion.”
And sense I’m spending five points, how about this: Why isn’t there Free Speech in Europe? Did you know that if you question anything about the Holocaust in some European countries you can be sent to prison?
It’s no joke. Read the news........
BBC World News: “British historian David Irving has been found guilty in Vienna of denying the Holocaust of European Jewry and sentenced to three years in prison.”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4733820.stm
Actually he didn’t deny the holocaust happened; he argued that some of the numbers might have been exaggerated. And I don’t know if he’s right, wrong or indifferent. I’m just saying that you can “deny” that I exist. That the world is flat. You can even proclaim that there is no God, and nothing bad happens to you. But say a disparaging word about Holocaust; and your a criminal. Ask a question about Israel and your a bigot. Why is that?

Yes not to mention that fact that there were 25k American citizens in Lebanon at the time they started bombing so not only are we paying to repair the damage of a army we built (trillion dollar deficit but that's beside the point) we paid for a army that put our own people in danger and our president has yet to mention the Americans there

Which side started the fighting? Which side intentionally attacked civilian targets? Which side used hospitals as HQs? Oh yeah, and which side it was that dropped leaflets warning people of their next target?
The answers are, respectively: Hezbollah, Hezbollah, Hezbollah, and Israel.
Yeah the Lebanese got screwed, but Israel doesn't give up the right to defend itself just because the enemy hides among innocent civilians and those civilians won't leave. Also, if the Lebanese government held up its end of the agreement 6 years ago, Hezbollah would be gone, and there would be no fighting. Lebenon is lucky to be getting the aid as it is.
I don't think you are an anti-semit, just misguided. But I do agree with you about the Holocaust thing.

Hezbollah is responsible for the destruction in Lebanon, not Israel. Hezbollah started the war, not Israel. The Lebanese are just getting screwed, but so are the Israelis. The only bad guys here are in Hezbollah.
Let us not forget the deep difference: Israel wants democracy and freedom in Lebanon, for not only is that what is right, but it is in their personal interest (because Israel would then be at peace with Lebanon). On the other hand, Hezbollah does NOT want democracy and freedom in Lebanon. They want to be the dictators there, and to not have democracy. And Hezbollah wants war with Israel, and will only continue to bring war on the Lebanese people.
So, concerning U.S. money, it ought to go to all the victims of the terrorists, and those victims are the innocent Lebanese people and the Israelis.

As for the illegality of hate speech in Europe--or even any speech would could be somewhat deemed it--you are right. I believe people have a right to utter hateful racist opinions (and the rest of us have a right to shun such people if we wish).

Everything that you have stated is TRUE. Those that want to hate on you for speaking the truth are haters that just want to hate. It should be Israel who pays for the destruction that they needlessly caused, as well as compensation to the families of the innocent victims. The USA needs to stop subsidizing Israel anyway. Seems to me that they can take care of themselves, pretty well.
I sometimes wonder to myself why I know so damn much about the holocaust. It's because the jews, through the mass media never stop telling us about it. The number of jews reportedly killed is greater than the total number of jews that lived in the German invaded European nations! The people of the western world, especially in the USA have been brainwashed to respond to any criticism of Israel as a personal insult. When the truth is, Israel is the most anti semitic nation on earth, ever:
(Sem·ite (sĕm'īt') n.
A member of a group of Semitic-speaking peoples of the Near East and northern Africa, including the Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopians, Hebrews, and Phoenicians.)
Keep telling the truth, my friend.

I hate the term anti semite. Arabs are semites too. I have a Christian friend originally from Iraq who is a semite.
I prefer "anti Jewish".
I am on the side of Israel, they were attacked. They were in the right and Godspeed to them that they have the balls to go after their enemies.
I DO not want one American dime to got to Lebanon. Not one damn cent.
I used to be critical of American dollars going to Israel. But in essence, they are also doing our bidding for us by killing Arab terrorists. Israel is our friend, not our enemy.
Many of the attacks on Israel are blatant hatred for the Jews. Mel Gibson. Hell Cindy Sheehan said what Mel did sober. But just because you disagree with an Israeli position doesn't warrant accusations of racism either, that is true.

The United States gives money to bombed out countries under the guise that it will be used for medicine, food and shelter. Usually, the filthy Islamists steal the money and buy more AK47's and other munitions while letting the population starve. Israelis are the only group of people in the middle east that wouldn't cut your head off for being white; stop complaining. You are a typical liberal inspired by Satan to hate everything that is decent and good in this world.

Nonesense! I love how fools like you always post something about how much Israel is getting but never EVER posting anything about the tens of billions of dollars the Arab countries are getting. You are so biased, bigoted, and one-sided.
