"Hi, I'm Israel..

and I can attack another country whenever I want."

"Hi, I'm America. And Israel is my friend."

Israel is still declining to comment on its attack on Syria last month. It does not need to, everyone else is speculating that it was a nuclear reactor because Israel is so damn "logical."

Former Israeli officials and intelligence experts would not discuss whether Israel hit a nuclear reactor that was under construction. But they said the report was plausible given their understanding of Syria’s ambitions in the realm of nonconventional weaponry and its longstanding quest for strategic parity with Israel.

Maj. Gen. Aharon Zeevi Farkash, Israel’s former chief of military intelligence, called the notion that Israel had targeted a nuclear reactor in Syria “logical.”
Logical, my ass. "Criminal," is more like it.

Whether it was a reactor in the making or not, Israel committed a grave violation of international law. It violated the United Nations Charter. And guess what, not a single word about that in the American media, which prefers to justify Israel's actions for it.

The US government clearly gave the green light to do it, which is why the US is providing it diplomatic cover and Secretary of State Rice is protecting Israel.

The New York Times quotes Rice as saying, "We’re very concerned about any evidence of, any indication of, proliferation. And we’re handling those in appropriate diplomatic channels." In other words, "thank you Israel."

And the Isael-America state terrorism alliance continues to impose its will on the sovereign states of the region despite the obvious hypocrisy -- Israel and the United States are both nuclear powers, belligerent occupiers, and greatly resented by the vast majority of the people in the region... oh yeah, and they're both "democracies." Great.

Israel violating the U.N. Charter? Show me where. Last I checked, Syria had still declared war on Israel - the only cease-fire that applies is the one on the Golan Heights.

If someone had pre-emptively bombed the Nazi war camps I suppose you'd call it a violation of international law, too.

"If someone had pre-emptively bombed the Nazi war camps I suppose you'd call it a violation of international law, too."

Your analogy would be on point if Israel was the country that was pre-emtively bombed. But logic is probably not your strongest area.

Thanks much for putting words in my mouth. When did I ever give an analogy?

No problem. I put other stuff in your momma's mouth, so why not words in yours?

Free Palestine, bitch.

.....aaaaand this is why we have a state, and you do not.

Word? What's this "we" stuff?

Anyway, yes, there is a state called "Israel" and it controls the lives of millions of people yet denies them equal rights under the law. It is an abhorent tyrannical oppressive entity. And like previous tyrannical entities it will be forced to change and soon Palestinians will be free in their land.

But yeah, I'm sure there were a lot of German citizens who were proud of their Nazi govt. too. It's normal, i guess.
