Not just Obama. Apparently, 395 out of 435 members of the House, agree.The Israelis can pay for Iron Dome. Our money let’s them spend money on other things.
So rocket attacks on Israeli civilians are ok, but Israel responding to those with force is not?OK Matt….. Maybe we should let one of our only democratic allies in the Middle East be annihilated by a terrorist group.Sound good?
With the concrete that Hamas used to build their tunnels – which was used to kill, kidnap or create terror in Israel – you could have build 7 buildings of a similar size of the tallest buildings.
Just remember America went to war after two buildings were destroyed by two attacks. Thousands of rockets have been fired into Israel, how would America react? Each of the rockets is designed to kill civilians – Hamas does not care where it lands.
Israel is not totally innocent, but we must not forget that Hamas has its hands black with the blood of its own civilians!
I guess another solution would be if everyone stopped killing each other and over a few generations they could probably trust each other enough to open borders and drop most restrictions. But then again, I guess it’s more fun to have a war every few years.
That has to be the most ill-informed piece of nonsense I’ve had to read on this website. I would suggest reading a history or 3 of the Arab-Israeli Conflict and not believing stuff you read on the Internet.
The cartoon misleadingly suggests that Israel is deliberately attacking civilians. While this would be accurate if said of Hamas, Israel is in fact taking extraordinary measures to try to avoid killing civilians in Gaza. I say “extraordinary” in the sense that I am unaware of any other army, including that of the United States, which has taken so much care in similar circumstances (which include an enemy making extensive use of human shields) to avoid civilian casualties.
“A minority of Americas note that, since the Palestinians are Arabs, and the Israelis do not intend to kill a significant percentage of Arabs outside Israel, it would not be Genocide to kill ALL the Palestinians, just ethnic cleansing.”Satire aside, a sizable number of Americans think Israel’s complete control of the biblical homeland, is one of the keys to Armageddon.
The point of the cartoon may be that Obama’s actions are speaking louder than words. Obama has done nothing to eliminate foreign aid, only talking tough that he does not like what is going on. That is the likely meaning in which Obama is depicted as speaking against this while handing the Israeli soldier another crate of rockets.

I condemn that Hamas uses civilians as a shield!

Yea it has nothing to do with the fact that Israel is just defending itself.
