“If someone was sending rockets on my house where my daughters were sleeping at night, I would do everything to stop it, and I would expect Israelis to do the same thing.”
-Barack Obama, in Sderot, Israel, 24 July, 2008
Congressman and former GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul, suggested to Press TV -- the official propaganda arm of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- that Israel's actions were "preemptive"... a war isn't automatically "preemptive" just because one party was dumb enough to pick a fight it can't win... It also isn't the first time Rep. Paul has lamented the lack of nuclear power in other Middle Eastern countries. In early 2007, on Fox News, Rep. Paul told me that he didn't have a problem with Iran possessing nukes.
I refuse to call this the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. When I was younger people called it the “Arab-Israeli Conflict,” and that name worked fine, so I still use that. Somebody needs to point out what makes the Palestinians different from other Arabs — besides being stupider and more vicious.
Our politicians are too ignorant to know that the hatred for Jews stemming from the Islamic world has been going on long before Israel even existed.
