Why is Israel dropping bombs on a prison camp?
Has anyone noted the incongruence of this?
Why did the USA today abstain from a UN Security Council vote calling for an immediate cease fire? I wish Bush would leave post haste. |

Note the part where a US soldier takes umbrage at being compared to the Israeli military. |

There may be an idea that the two-state solution is not ever going to happen (both sides).
And Israel will decline due to demographics, emigration, and frankly, loss of support and moral force. But we may be talking decades here. If Israel doesn't want to negotiate with Hamas, then what do they want? War forever? |

Israel has decided that Hamas' own stated purpose and behavior are anathema to negotiations, and I think they are right.

Does Hamas want to negotiate with Israel?

There's always a little more to these stories. Funny how some Americans get suckered into siding with these monsters.

It just remains be to seen how far the Israelis will go. At what point will it become actual genocide, and how breathtaking will that irony be? |
