How long do you think until the US gets involved? Any other thoughts on this?

Reservations? Lady, they deserve ALL of this land by your logic. They were in fact here first.
Quoting Anonymous:We did give them their own land, We did give Palestine their own land. If the US tried to abolish reservations I would be furious also.
Quoting Anonymous:Really? while we're at it, why not kick everyone who isn't of native american decent (recent decent) out and give America back to them....they took over, fair and square.
Quoting Anonymous:No, I support Palestine. You know, those people that have been there since 5th century BC and are now being slaughtered by Israelis who decided God Gave them the land and everyone else has to get out?
Quoting Anonymous:Really? Israel has every right to defend themselves as they're completely surrounded by those who hate them, they didn't start this, missiles were fired at them remember? I suppose you support Iran and Hamas too. SMH
Quoting Anonymous:See my point?
People ignore the fact that they are committing atrocious acts against humanity and let them do whatever they want because a fucking book from 2000 years ago makes them think this is fine.
Quoting Anonymous:Sadly it''s true, whether we step in or not they will survive, they have for thousands of years and now with Iran and being completely surrounded by those who want to wipe them off the face of the map is very scary, but God Will protect them because they are his chosen people.
Quoting sweetboys4me:wish that wasn't the case.
Quoting Anonymous:Obama couldn't care less about Israel
Quoting Anonymous:Let them kill each other. I've never understood why we give two hoots about the savages in these countries.
"Savages"? Sweetie, you can thank those Israeli "savages" for the Intel processor that allows your insults to navigate the world.
In fact, In proportion to its population, Israel has the largest number of startup companies in the world, the third highest rate of entrepreneurship - and the highest rate worldwide among women and among people over 55.
Israel produces more scientific papers per capita than any other nation and has the highest number of scientists and engineers per capita than any other country in the world.
All of these translate to one of the highest per capita rates of patents filed and to an impressive list of Israeli inventions.
How "savage" of them...

As far as history, you are forgetting about the 30 year British occupation of Palestine before the Jewish refugees arrived there.
Quoting Anonymous:It's hard to get the entire history into 120 words or less.
Go ahead, fill in anything that excuses this behavior...

Really?
Really.
Since they're God's chosen people God is looking out and protecting Israel. It clearly says it in the bible, those who bless Israel will be blessed, those who curse Israel will be cursed. Then again, you probably don't believe in the bible.
What the Fuck are you talking about? You really think these people are the "chosen ones" and God only wants to protect them? Screw the rest of humanity if we come in their way huh?
Sorry, My God is much bigger than that.
That IS what the Bible says.
I get that. So, Because someone who lived there 2000 years ago wrote down that his people were the chosen ones, we should be OK with the killings, crimes against humanity, and viciousness of their attacks...Because that guy said so.
I'll be honest, I don't really know what your talking about because I don't know much about what is going on over there right now, I know some, but very little. All I DO know for a fact is what the Bible says about Israel, and I put my Faith in that 'Someone' you mentioned who 2000 yrs. ago said that they are his Chosen Ones.
Do you even know who that guy is that decided it was their chosen land? Without Google.I can't wrap my mind around Christians being fine and dandy with everything Jesus taught against because they read a line in a book that made them decide that Jewish People Should be allowed to slaughter their neighbors...because God said so.
It's sick and insane.
I'm not going to get into a big debate or anything on the subject. I was just saying that it does say that in the Bible and i DO believe it. Like I said I don't know much about what is going on over there in the first place, so I wouldn't have much of a leg to stand on in an argument about what they are doing. I don't think it says anything in the Bible about God saying it is ok for ANYONE to slaughter people, BUT again, I don't really know what is going on.
Pretty much what's going on is Israel didn't exist for about 1000 years because the territory was fought over since about 1200 BC, Then in 1948 We decided to Give them an area of land and Declare it Israel, only it was already inhabited by the Palestinians that have been there since the 5th century and had already been marked for them in World War 1.Then In World War 2 the land was split between Palestine and Israel with Israel getting 51% of it. Now over 90% of the land that was given to the Palestinians has been taken over by Israel even though it was not their land. They take the land by Placing the Palestinians in ghettos, killing them, starving them to death, and not allowing medical care into those ghettos.
Quoting Anonymous:
"What justifies this behavior is the fact that Hamas has been relentlessly firing rockets into Israel for months. Israel just took out an extremely powerful and violent terrorist. If the US had done it, everyone would be celebrating."
Well, that's what happened when Bin Laden was killed, wasn't it? Woo-hoo! The evil madman that attacked us on 9/11 is dead! A triumph for Obama! Go U.S.A! Justice has been done!
But when Israel does it... Tsk, tsk, evil, violent, oppressive terrorists. They should just take the hundreds of missiles fired at their country with dignity and quiet desperation and leave those poor Palestinians alone to get on with the task of wiping Israel off the map in peace.
Bunch of hypocrites! But hypocrisy is obviously just a sign of something bigger and more disgusting.

Not to be rude, but so what? That was how many hundreds of years ago? People are dying right this moment.
