Guys the bit I don't get is where there are no politicians in the USA willing to question the fact that the US taxpayer is funding a very right-wing group in Israel to do this killing, don't you have a national audit office in the US that looks at govt spending to see if you got good value, I'd be interested to know what they say about the money going to fund the on-going oppression of the Palestinian people while you have millions of people in the USA relying on food banks for their meals, is this the dream the pioneers flocked to America for .... people at home getting food handouts while the US govt fund/support oppression/persecution/torture/murder around the globe.
We can shake our heads and wring our hands all we want but monsters like Netanyahu are home grown and home financed and avidly supported by the poodles like Cameron in the UK.
Do you ever wish your own politicians wanted more and were better people.
In Iraq guess what, ISIS were born out of the USA backing a violent regime who have sought to marginalise the Sunni population, the efforts to interfere in Ukraine by both the USA and EU have resulted in a rebellion and civil war.
Is there anyone at the Pentagon/White House/USA in general who asks the question, "ever noticed that when the USA get involved in other peoples fights it seems to get worse and not better."
There is a big case for the USA to significantly change their foreign policy from an aggressive one where they take sides to a neutral one where they seek to stop or prevent the fighting and bloodshed, but the truth is if they did that they would not be able to sell either side ever more weapons so global capitalism can only be sustained via more on-going conflict.
If all the world stopped fighting for 3 years what damage would it do to the global arms industry, huge losses, massive job cuts and unemployment.
Surely it is not sustainable to maintain global economic growth via the arms industry, at some point in time, unless we have a World War to get the population numbers down (a human cull) there will come a time when we don't need ever more arms and weapons pumped into the system, then what? World War 3.
Of course the 3rd World War will probably involve nuclear weapons and all of the countries with nuclear weapons will be prime targets for other countries with nuclear weapons, for a cull to be successful China & India have to be nuked just for the sheer numbers. When you continue to back and support violence to resolve cultural and regional tensions around the world do not be surprised if one day you take it a little too far, if one of these rebel groups get their hands on long range nuclear missiles where do you think they are going to be pointing them, wherever it is it won't be a happy ending.
Bringing it back to todays troubles I see that Israel are playing their part in this Christian Jihad very successfully, but my money is on the 1st nuclear striike by any rebel group to be Tel Aviv for obvious reasons ..... what happens to the Jewish people in the 2nd World War was terrible but I don't see they are going to fare much better in a 3rd global conflict, Israel is like the goat tied to the rope when the t-rex is on the loose, eventually you will be left with just the rope and a lot of blood.
I am only saying this because I want the same for the downtown residents of Tel Aviv that I want for people inside the big refugee camp we call Gaza but the policies being pursued by the Western powers in Israel will surely end in tears and probably for the locals as they will be so much nearer to hit with a missile.
Let us not pretend that the USA want peace for Israel, it serves no short, medium or long term objective in the Christian war against Islam. If the US govt learnt one thing about 9/11 it is keep your battles on foreign soil, and get a decent weapons defense system tested and installed before WW3, how long before that dome system appears around major US cities, I just hope we get a few set up in and around London to get us half a chance.
So the message from Israel to Hamas is please carry on shelling until we have finished the testing, once tests are complete and lessons learned we will look to temporarily ease the destruction of Gaza, then once we have made the technological advances to the Dome system we will need a new round of testing..... cynical or just realistic
