Aaah, so israel should be destroyed because irrational islamist terrorists don't like it?! 'The only thing israel does' is to provide the jewish people with a state, with a home to call their own. The jews were both stateless & homeless, the palestinians just stateless. This is the biggest problem with people like you: You cant comprehend that jews need for their state. FYI, the palestinians are also in desperate need for a stable state and that is why i support Obama and the 2 state soln.

The only pro-American presence? Right...I'm sure you meant to say along with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the newly established governments in Afghanistan and Iraq... right?I don't see how Israel is protecting America from anything. It's more the complete opposite, seeing how much money America funnels into Israel annually. The only thing Israel does in the Middle East is keep terrorists pissed off at the West and give the rest of the Muslim world a reason to do the same.

nobody even considers getting near isreal

LONG LIVE ISRAEL!!

sounds good to me

listen the U.S supports Israel for its best interest. Israel is the only pro-American presence in the primarily anti-America Middle east. Anti-American sentiment is not because we support Israel, but because we support middle east dictators. Israel at a great sacrifice to itself, protects all of US from middle east anger and resentment.

$30 billion for Israel? I don't see why that's necessary. Israel already has a very strong military. If they'd get attacked, they'd probably steamroll over the enemy. No need for more warmongering in that region.Obama won't change anything.

perhaps you're right.. perhaps if some rogue nation were to invade and attack Ireland, England, maybe even Canada, we should just close our borders and turn a blind eye to them.. Let em' worry about it..

That's the one thing Americans just don't seem to get. The people in Saudi Arabia are human too. Just like Americans, just like the Israelis. Our unconditional military support for Israel is extremely dangerous. We should never NEVER unconditionally support any country. It's foolish.

Agreed! Vote 3rd party if at all.

vote Nader!obama is the same old politician

McCain sucks up to these guys just as much if not more pal.

LOL, This is the power behind the scene folks. Use this as an affirmation that we have but one party, with two faces. All the Neo Cons are friends of AIPAC. Why do we always discredit and discount the wisdom of the founders? Israel is not our concern in any way shape or form. I hope they flourish, but its not my problem. If they were destroyed tommorow, it would not effect the U.S. in anyway we couldnt adjust too. Yet it costs us BILLIONS and Thousands of lives to be their friend.

Why is Barack Obama friends with AIPAC and Israel and why is this something we should be happy about?Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. -- George WashingtonVote 3rd party if at all.

What about them poor black, latinos and other immigrant American people of color. Do they raise their children to do the same? They don't live there in Israel. And are just as unsafe. But here in AMERICA they seem to be happy being just employed by them?What facts are important to you?Freedom from what?When this country suffers for others who treat them like slaves.People are dieing everywhere from the same racist people and their facts....respect

those "poor palestinians" raise their children to hate and kill any and all jews/israelis/AMERICANS, and israel does all that it can to only stay defensive and not go offensive so that ignorant people like you dont have an excuse to say that israel is at fault. dont post an opinion if u dont know the facts!

what an ignorant thing to say! sure, that allegory might be true- IF the old man had just killed a huge amount of innocent people with a bulldozer or a rocket or suicide bombing because he can't think of any other way to establish "peace"

No offense but"When Jimmy Carter decided to have a sit down with those Hezbola cats in an effort to bring peace, the U.S. gov't denounced his actions. I thought that was messed up for them to do that. I mean, are we not supposed to be about peace? Maybe I'm wrong, but for Obama to plegde his support for Israel diplomaticaly, militarilly and otherwise doesn't speak of change. This country has been doing this for years." they had a point... . . . . . . respect

AIPAC makes me sick and so does Obama

Barr is the best use of a vote this year
