If you read back I also said the same thing. Israel is a sovereign nation. If they want to defend themselves they have the right to do so without asking permission from the US.

Looking through this prizm, it's easy to see how our unbridled support for Israel creates conflicts for them as well as us.

As I've stated twice already though. If Israel decides to use excessive force against a civilian population locked inside a prison camp they should do so on their own dime and be prepared to face the international consequences for doing so.

AM,

So we're using anti-semitism to descibe the questioning of US foreign policy with Israel?

Really?,................. Tell that to Norman Finklestein and Tony Jundt.

That old canard has been played out so many times by the ADL even Abe Foxman has backed off of using the term.

How is that any different than the LWWJ's who claim bigotry and racism against those who oppose Obama policy decisions.

Give me an effin' break.
