AIPAC is a lobby group that pays US politicians (both democrats and republicans) money so that they would show preferential treatment, both economically and financially, towards israel even if it means putting US' interests second to israel's.

uhm? slow boy? stop spreading lies.

you realize that:

economic treatment conspiracy: $3 billion a year to israel from the US taxpayers

political treatment conspiracy: blocking numerous UN resolutions and preventing and pushing other countries from taking political and economic actions towards israel.

this is a reality. you and your pathetic attempts at diffusing real conversation by screaming conspiracy theorist or anti-semite is not going to work.

This should be an interesting read,

Meotti is an Italian journalist and author who took upon himself the task of recording stories of Jewish lives lost or maimed because of the relentless terror by Arabs and Muslims since the Second World War. His book is a noble effort to save the names of Jewish victims of terror for posterity, in the same spirit as those who work at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem to preserve the names of Jews who perished in the Holocaust.

More than 1,500 Israelis have died from indiscriminate violence by Palestinian suicide bombings since 2000. Israel is a small country, as Meotti reminds his readers, and the number of Israeli victims would proportionally be equal to more than 60,000 victims in the United States.

The majority of Israeli victims were not men and women in uniform. They were civilians, mostly belonging to the working class, caught unaware as they went about their daily chores.

Their lives were cut short and their families bereaved just because they were Jews.

Meotti’s recounting of Israeli lives lost to recent waves of terrorism sheds new light on the oldest bigotry that still animates the Arab-Muslim world.

Yup, It's all Israel's fault, they are dumping predatory sharks, wonder where they are getting them from, maybe Florida's marine parks are missing some :lol:

you suck at the internet. you made an irresponsible false remark, it was responded to and then you elected to post something totally out of context pretending that you're actually responding to the comments made about your earlier posted misinformation:

Too bad they don't call on Hamas et al to stop killing Israelis, hiding behind women and children, stop shooting rockets everyday into Israel etc. etc. etc. etc.

but they do, israeli apologist. even though you will not be able to show to everyone when the last rocket was fired and israeli children were killed, hamas is repeatedly called on by pretty much any person or group who talks about the situation. you lie too much.

How about December 20th (i.e. today)...

...Palestinian militants fired nine mortar shells into southern Israel on Monday ...

Ok, technically it was a mortar attack rather than a rocket attack. Still a pretty nasty thing to do.

no shit it is.

i'm sure this will get plenty of airtime. i wonder if the kids getting shot by IDF soldiers because they're looking for scraps in their own land will get any air time.

I call bullshit on your post ROTFLMAO

If you mean I'm not good at throwing insults, going off on irrelevant tangents or telling people to shut up so breaking all the rules, you are right. I have posted links showing rocket attacks and casualties, and aty least I'm sure not a Hamas terrorist shill.

KIBBUTZ ZIKIM, Israel — A rocket fired from Gaza exploded near an Israeli kindergarten Tuesday as cross-border violence surged in the approach to the second anniversary of Israel's war in the Hamas Islamist-run enclave.

------------------

An Israeli military spokesman said at least 14 rockets had been fired from Gaza -- which is under an Israeli military blockade -- in the past two days. An Israeli air strike in Gaza Saturday killed five militants from a rocket squad, in the heaviest toll during sporadic clashes this year.

the last person killed that I know of is here

Surely to godzilla you're not suggesting that Israel hasn't killed far more innocent Palestinians than the other way around?

(Although many people do actually believe this: the scientific name for these believers is "drooling knuckledraggers.")

Doesn't matter who killed more of who. What matters are the reasons behind it, the order in which events happened, the history in context of the situation, etc. Americans killed more Germans in WWII than the other way around, but that doesn't mean the Americans were the bad guys or were wrong in doing what they did.

Okay...so how is that a 4 to 6 thousand year old land claim can grab so much of the planet's moral attention but the 500 year or so old land claim of most indigenous people around the world engenders such a big fat yawn?

I dunno, you tell me? I think in both situations, the parties involved should be allowed to work it out amongst themselves, without the whole rest of the world giving their unsolicited advice and demands.
