Israel blows up a Hamas leader, they retaliate, and it’s all Hamas’ fault?? BTW “Iron Dome” seems to be working, which means along with other systems they have (for longer range efforts), Iran is HOW much a threat?
Sorry, but even Morn has this one wrong.

You were probably upset when our Navy SEALS took out Osama too. Israel knows O doesn’t have their back so they’re taking care of things themselves.

Israel fired more than one shot and has a whole army lined up ready to go against Palestine. At the same time it is taking shots at Syria. Will Israel start bombing Iran as well?

WHICH THEY BLOODY WELL SHOULD!!! Where does it say that the US is the lord protector of Israel? And why would that be? I say cut all the money and weapons to them and see what happens. That must be your position as well, as a conservative, right, because you guys always go on about cutting foreign aid, ain’t that so?

Why on earth should we be taking care of Israel? They’re rich, they’re better armed than pretty much anyone in the region, and they haven’t done a blessed thing for us (other than try to tell us what to do). For the last several years, Israel has been a drag on us.

At the risk of invoking Godwin’s Law…
Sometimes I think that the Israelis learned a bit too much during the Holocaust.
The first thing the Nazis did was to confiscate the property of the Jews.
The first thing the Israeli government did was to confiscate the property of the Palestinians for their new Settlements.
Of course, the Palestinians are students of history too. They won’t let themselves be herded into the concentration camps.
It used to be that the Israelis were the good guys. Now, BOTH sides are like a couple of kids fighting over… Well, they just HAVE to fight.

As soon as someone sets off the first “Suitcase Nuke” over there, ALL bets are off!
And it WILL happen, sooner or later…

Israel has the right to defend itself. Libs are getting dimmer by the minute.

Amusing how anyone would look at this in any context other than the pervasive, endless death spiral it really is.

I don’t think there’s been one year of “negative growth” under Obama…in spite of Bush’s debacles.

This whole cartoon is a bit backwards, though. When you look at numbers, both of attacks and casualties, Palestinian casualties outnumber Israeli casualties about ten to 1. And that’s not even breaking down how many of those casualties are kids.
Israel has pursued an aggressive policy of land-grabs against the Palestines, and in addition have done a great deal to cut Palestinians off from water supplies, healthcareand medical supplies, building permits and supplies, and often, work. There is an ongoing effort to deprive Palestinians of places to live which goes almost entirely unreported in US media.
Many of the Palestinian villages are Bedouin and other local peoples, which have been there since before the formation of Israel. Now, imagine that the above were happening on American land. How do you think you all would respond…?
Before anyone accuses me of being anti-Semitic, I am certainly not; half my family is Jewish, and my father absolutely idolized Golda Meir. But what Israel is doing is the worst of politics, it is no longer a defense of a victimised religion. Having been subject to ludicrous prejudice and damaging policies for centuries in Europe, the Jewish Israeli government is now taking its turn to be the bully. And that is shameful.
