Any nation that is "allied" with isreal is supporting terrorism.

LOL the US war on terror yet they call Isreal their biggest ally. Wow that seems like the biggest contradiction.

@giovanhagar The Israeli government admitted that that radio transmission was fabricated. You can watch the report on the Democracy Now! website.

All mouth talk about human rights, who can say what right or wrong when is family and is city getting attacked on a daily days by terror acts

@Iseeyoursoul Ron Paul would not stop Israel from defending her interests in any way she saw fit. When Israel attacked a nuclear reactor in Iraq in 1981, almost the entire U.S. Congress voted to condemn the act. Ron Paul was one of the few dissenters: he voted against the condemnation and in favor of Israel’s right to self-determination. I say set Israel free of US control! Wonder what will happen now, with China and Russia telling Israel "you better not act." Messy situation, huh???

@majikspell1 Yes, terrorist haters include Israel - they have fought it for years.

So, if some thug shoots rockets into your living room, as long as, after they rip your home apart but don't explode it's okay with you? Because I'd like to see you sitting in your living room with a big smile on your face, thanking whoever shot it for their "peaceful message?" Passenger Jets don't have "attached" explosives either dumb ass. For that matter, neither does a baseball bat over your bald head?

WHY DON'T YOU LIARS MAKE THIS SIMPLE AND ADMIT YOU'RE JUST MODERN DAY JEW HATERS?!?!?!?!

[catman7262]

False News....When Americans, Canadians and Europeans suffer from terror ever day these this hypocrisy will be made clear.

there's no point investing in a microphone if you're going to use it in a place that echoes.

No state solution for all! :D

@ThePhilosophicalMind No more a "keyboard warrior" than you - philosophically speaking , and as for your insistent question of whether " I WOULD" , is that your way to philosophically side step my comment and not deal with its implications ?

If I were you , I'd be better off doing the research to disprove my statement than to challenge me to back it up , with your silly anal insistence !

[ThePhilosophicalMind]

@rolynstone48 Not asking if theres any need , im asking if you WOULD ? or are you simply another keyboard warrior ?
