- fractalman, on 12/17/2007, -20/+138***** Israel!!! If they want Iran bombed, they should have the balls to do it themselves. They have the bombs needed to bomb Iran, they have God on their side, what the hell do they need the US for? It's time for the US to tell Israel where to get off. If Israel can't keep their country for themselves, maybe they don't deserve a country of their own.
- inactive, on 12/17/2007, -19/+131Ah, good ol' Israel. Do they ever come Washington to stop us from bombing some country Bush can't locate on the map?
- jkbowman, on 12/17/2007, -11/+89No doubt we'll wind up increasing arms sales to Israel -- balance that with arms sales to Saudi Arabia. War profiteers will line their pockets once again, and it will all go unnoticed by most of America. It's insane, of course, but this where apathy gets us.
- inactive, on 12/17/2007, -17/+81Don't forget about this Fox News documentary about Israeli spying
in the USA pre-9/11

- Calann, on 12/17/2007, -15/+72At one time I could understand people who joined the military. They did it to protect their country and to further their education.
Now it is clear that the military is being used to attack other countries based on false and trumped-up charges. We turn neighborhoods in other countries into war zones and then kill a people for being in those war zones. We capture others and lock them away without ever charging them with a crime.
Considering exactly how our military is being used right now. Anyone who joins the military under these conditions is a traitor to the ideals upon which this nation was founded. - Neiby, on 12/17/2007, -13/+63I agree. Israel purposefully stirs up ***** in that region and then expects us to do their dirty work for them. Israel, as a country, is arrogant and antagonistic. At the risk of sounding antisemitic, which I am not, I will say that the region would be far more stable if Israel were not in it.
- Berkana, on 12/17/2007, -15/+60. . . in case any one doesn't remember, Ron Paul would have Israel defend itself as part of a more restrained foreign policy.
- niteblade, on 12/17/2007, -8/+48Apparently Israel is getting bolder in revealing their influence over the US. Former head of the Israeli Security service said this a couple days ago:
"Israel will work to change the American intelligence agencies' view of Iran, said Dichter, a former chief of Israel's Shin Bet secret service agency. "A misconception by the world's leading superpower is not just an internal American occurrence," Dichter said."
From http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22274424/ - 52growler, on 12/17/2007, -10/+49No offense but ***** Off Israel. Stay away. It's our country, not yours.
- 10001110101, on 12/17/2007, -12/+51Yes - they come to ask for military funding.
- Frei, on 12/17/2007, -11/+50The Israeli lobby strikes again.
- georgemason01, on 12/17/2007, -6/+44Don't you guys know that questioning anything Israel does makes you a rabid Jew hater?
- MBX1, on 12/17/2007, -13/+50I'm sure israel will call anyone anti-semites who criticizes them.
The certain people of the zionist cabal have way too much influence over the u.s. - sandman979, on 12/17/2007, -9/+45***** antisemitism *****. I'm really tired of that word indeed. Why the ***** can nobody criticize Israel without being labeled as a racist? Why, please I need to know why!
Neiby: your comment is not antisemitic at all, but merely objective and most accurate. - toasty168, on 12/17/2007, -11/+45i'm still trying to understand why we give 2 ***** about israel.
- krnldmp, on 12/17/2007, -6/+40What part of "no" doesn't Israel understand?
- pintomp3, on 12/17/2007, -4/+31israel also gave us intel on iraq's wmds. it's not about "better", it's about motives.
- inactive, on 12/17/2007, -12/+39seriously ***** israel, if there is a WW 3 they are going to be the prime culprit. if russia never sided up with austria on attacking serbia, the first world war likely never would have happened. israel needs to STFU and we need to stop treating them like we owe them something.
- jmask5, on 12/17/2007, -5/+29I'm not sure what Israel is afraid of here. If Iran were to nuke them how could they possibly do so without harming the Palesinians who are just a few blocks away. There are many things in Israel that are important to muslims such as Mosques and things of that nature. They need to realize that the world is very vulnerable right now and could go into a 3rd world war if the right button gets pushed. If that happens all hell will break loose
- fractalman, on 12/17/2007, -11/+34What's this "we" *****? I didn't give Israel jack *****, it was our government leaders giving away money that we don't have. ***** Israel, and impeach Bush and Cheney.
- Pherdnut, on 12/17/2007, -11/+32Links? Cuz I've heard just about all the BS conspiracy theory I can stomach and I have no idea who builds skyscrapers with explosives in them for their eventual demolition.
- Fremen93, on 12/17/2007, -4/+25The US intelligence community is run by 3 liberals?? what are you talking about? the NIE was not the work of 3 liberals. Please check your facts.
Israel would love for us to take out another one of their enemies while they sit back and do nothing. - estacado, on 12/17/2007, -6/+27Why don't they just do it themselves? They've got the fire power.
- kodak543, on 12/17/2007, -3/+24How is this anti-semitic? This article is criticizing the policies of a nation. Are those not fair game?
- chronically420, on 12/17/2007, -3/+24ok even fox news isnt as ignorant as you are. 3 liberals? try 16 U.S. funded intelligence agencies. seriously, you need to actually learn something before you talk out your ass.
- pintomp3, on 12/17/2007, -5/+25so would kucinich and gravel.
- Joscarfas, on 12/17/2007, -7/+27"Israel considers the regime in Tehran to be its biggest threat because of its nuclear ambitions, its long-range missile program and repeated calls by its president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to wipe Israel off the map."
I thought Ahmadinejad never said that he wanted to wipe Israel off the map ¿? - pintomp3, on 12/17/2007, -4/+24so we if we don't want to die for israel's benefit, we are anti-semitic?
- PhantomRogue, on 12/17/2007, -1/+20Oh how I wish we would just stop interfering with the worlds troubles.
- Elwood19k20, on 12/17/2007, -6/+25It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.
-George Washington's Farewell Address 1796 - accessviolation, on 12/17/2007, -4/+19Why did you have to spell it "Joos"?
- inactive, on 12/17/2007, -63/+77This is all cause to bomb Israel and nobody cares...
Israeli citizens identified as Mossad operatives were arrested after they were seen filming the attacks from New Jersey, eventually as many as sixty two Israelis were said to have been taken into custody then released, the fact that there has been no further updates on this is one more nail in the coffin of Jew credibility…
It was via the buddy system on Odigo software, which allows one to communicate to a large group of people that share a trait, such as the Hebrew language, that thousands of Israelis were warned not to go to the twin towers on 9/11.
American Securities and Exchange Commission says Israeli citizens, sold short a list of 38 stocks that could reasonably be expected to fall in value as a result of the pending attacks. These speculators operated out of the Toronto, Canada and Frankfurt, Germany, stock exchanges and their profits were specifically stated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Christopher Bollyn
We talked to their private security staff, we talked to people who were there with Larry Silverstein on 9/11… they said he got a phone call telling him not to show up to work, and he called his daughter and she never showed up either. Rudowski Prison Planet
The Readers Digest ran a story during the WTC construction stating explosives would be built into the buildings to facilitate their eventual demolition. Update… Paul Laffoley worked in the 1960's for Emery Roth and Sons, a New York City architectural firm. On Radio Orbit on February 21 2007, he said he helped to design the WTC with explosive charges built into the towers, in order to take them down neatly at any time.
The President said he witnessed the first strike at 8.46 AM, while he was in the hallway of the school waiting for the cue that would televise his visit across America…
THE PRESIDENT: I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on. And I used to fly, myself, and I said, well, there's one terrible pilot. I said, it must have been a horrible accident. But I was whisked off there, I didn't have much time to think about it. And I was sitting in the classroom, and Andy Card, my Chief of Staff, who is sitting over here, walked in and said, "A second plane has hit the tower, America is under attack." …Obviously there was a link from New York right into the schoolhouse, which could only have been set up by his own people. - krnldmp, on 12/17/2007, -15/+29I'm more worried about Israel blowing ***** up in USA and blaming it on Iran than I am worried about Iran.
- DreKor, on 12/17/2007, -6/+20Well, it all goes back to Indiana Jones finding the Ark of the Covenant and handing it over to the US government in the late 1930s. If they had gotten the Ark back, they'd still be able to use their own military. Sadly, the US now owes them for stealing their ultimate weapon.
- krnldmp, on 12/17/2007, -5/+18Should be enough to make any American very angry.
- milomilomilo, on 12/17/2007, -3/+15or maybe he felt it was necessary because people like you would immediately imply he is an anti-semite.
he explained his stance, and why he thought they are bad for the area, and he is met with non-sense claims of racism.
get a clue, jews are not exempt from criticism simply because they are jews.
For such a poor picked on group of people they sure start a lot of ***** trouble. - mrjit, on 12/17/2007, -3/+15Because Israel isn't bias, at all. Not at all.
- MBX1, on 12/17/2007, -5/+17Oh look. Here we go. What did i just write few posts above?
- l00s3r, on 12/17/2007, -2/+14Unfortunately they are being shunned from the debates by the Democratic party. Ron Paul isn't, yet.
- pintomp3, on 12/17/2007, -5/+17the israel lobby has never been shy about their influence over our government:
"I asked Rosen if AIPAC suffered a loss of influence after the Steiner affair. A half smile appeared on his face, and he pushed a napkin across the table. 'You see this napkin?' he said. 'In twenty-four hours, we could have the signatures of seventy senators on this napkin.'"
http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2005/07/04/050704 ... - inactive, on 12/17/2007, -4/+15Ah, right.
We should believe a rabid right wing asshat over the pros.
You rightards have been pushing for an attack on Iran for years. You've pretty much established that you will say anything to make that happen, and you are willing to turn an ignorant eye to evidence that does not support your warmongering.
Go back to LGF. They need more crap in that cesspool. - williamdyer, on 12/17/2007, -2/+13The Likudniks are irreligious and cynical. The End Times ***** is to sell the war to Baptist southern boys.
- Ghoztt, on 12/17/2007, -9/+20I'm tired of the U.S. being Israel's big brother. "Boo hoo, this guy made fun of me, go beat him up, big brother!"
Go take care of your own problems, Israel. I'm not willing to spill American blood for Israeli land and politics. - dafragsta, on 12/17/2007, -7/+18The unforeseen irony of this post on Digg is that it represents the ultimate paradox for this audience. Any other political discourse would take the form of railing on Republicans, corporations, lobbyists, cronies, etc. but this one actually begs the question that neither side is ready to answer. The neocons feel they should defend the holy land, the liberals feel the Jews get picked on a lot, so here is the arbitrarily-chosen-high-dollar-value question du jour.
If Israel were to be attacked with a nuclear weapon, I'm sure there would be a coalition ready to put Iran in it's place, that is if we weren't all char marks, but what interest does Iran have for using a nuclear weapon unprovoked?
I do think as time wears on, it's not a racist or antisemitic comment to vocalize the observation that Israel has too much influence over US foreign policy in the middle east. We have our own problems. - krisscofield, on 12/17/2007, -11/+22Who cares. Enough of Israel. Let her fight her own wars, who will fight Iran if they convince us to bomb it? Us. Who will die for their unjustified, illegal, murderous wars and anti-Arab fanaticism, us. Who will ultimately pay the cost of WW3, us.
Take, take, take, take, take and only look out for their own. This is always the song and dance of Israel. Fight your own goddamn wars. No more money for Israel. - clari0n, on 12/17/2007, -2/+12Feeling the need to deny being antisemitic by no means proves anything. We live in a society where if you so much as utter a word against Israel or Judaism, you are attacked and discredited using this often-abused phrase.
What's particularly frustrating about the excessive use of the term is the fact that it should also apply to the rampant bigotry against Arabs, since a Semite is, by definition:
"a member of any of various ancient and modern peoples originating in southwestern Asia, including the Akkadians, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Arabs."

When did freedom of speech require disclaimers? - DreKor, on 12/17/2007, -12/+22"She laid a Jew egg. Quick, crush the Jew egg before it hatches!"
-Borat - chronically420, on 12/17/2007, -10/+19why must israel be so stupid? we're pretty much their only ally and they want to piss the world off even more. really, how dumb are they?
- fractalman, on 12/17/2007, -6/+15Speak for yourself, I didn't give Israel *****. It has always been our leaders that give away our money. They don't tell us this when they're running for office, but they do it anyway. I repeat, I didn't give Israel jack *****. Don't include me in with those lying ass clowns in washington.
