When did it become so popular here in the US to bash Israel? Since statehood they have been constantly attacked. Every time they win, take land, and are forced to return it. And they do. They keep getting rockets and mortars fired into civilian areas, and they take it. They finally finally react to constant attacks, and their the bad guy. They want to build housing in their own capitol, and it's an unacceptable sin.
France, de-rides the hell out of them for it, the same France that held Southeast Asia and Northern Africa in practical slavery for so long. The same France that forces entire cultures and populations off of Pacific Islands so they can test bombs.
From what I can see, the Israeli's seem willing to live equally with the Arabs, if they would recipricate, which they won't. When is this Administration going to wake up and take a hard look at who the real problem is? As for that question, when is the world going to?
