I'm pissed that my country(USA) is sending my hard earned money to F**ckin Israel the biggest terrorist state in the WORLD. I'm pissed that I'm constantly reminded of the HOLOCOST. What like no other people got butchered EVER. Israel is the biggest liar and leech ever to be created on this Earth. I'm not electing any officials or senators that continue to pass enormous aid packages to Israel. Who the Hell are they to send my money to a country who enjoys killing woman and children.

Abbas is a tool of Israel as I've said all along.

Like the holocaust happened and cannot be denied , war crimes were committed by Israel and need to be prosecuted.

"The great unmentionable evil at the center of our culture is monotheism. From a barbaric Bronze Age text known as the Old Testament, three anti-human religions have evolved — Judaism, Christianity, Islam. These are sky-god religions. They are, literally, patriarchal — God is the Omnipotent Father — hence the loathing of women for 2,000 years in those countries afflicted by the sky-god and his earthly male delegates....

[mooneez]

...The sky-god is a jealous god, of course. He requires total obedience from everyone on earth, as he is in place not for just one tribe but for all creation. Those who would reject him must be converted or killed for their own good. Ultimately, totalitarianism is the only sort of politics that can truly serve the sky-god's purpose."

- Gore Vidal, 1992

[mooneez]

when the LORD thy God shall deliver (your enemies) b4 thee; thou shalt smite them, & utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them nor shew mercy unto them

thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars & break down their images & cut down their groves & burn their graven images with fire

For thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God: (he) hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself above all people that are upon the face of the earth

- Deuteronomy 7:1-6

we agree. i was simply pointing out that this is the belief that these attackers have from a book they revere. i find quotes like that useful. i don't believe in the goodness of israeli policy or god and i didn't invent religious genocide or write that shit so grab a brain and get off my back.

@Mooneez, that is your personal belief, although I would hazard a guess that nobody's "God" calls people "stupid cunt" -- be aware that Judaism and Christianity are two of many major faiths in the world. Torah is the holy book to a limited number of people who have no right to impose their religious beliefs upon those who do not share them.
