No, it is not anti-semetic, it is anti religious wackos. There are plenty of religious wackos that are muslims and christians. The fact is Israel is a nation built on a religion, just like a lot of muslim countries. This is 2009, intelligent people know religions are man made and have no place in the governing of people. All I know is the US is not run by a religion and we don't seem to have the problems the neanderthals in the middle east have. What makes these religious wackos any more important than poor people in Africa? I have no problem giving money to poor people, I have a problem giving my money to crazy countries to buy weapons and blow each other up. If backwards countries like Israel and Egypt want weapons they should use their own people's tax dollars, not mine. I prefer my tax dollars go to American schools and healthcare for people in MY OWN COUNTRY.[/quote] Okay Einstein, What are we to do if and when they blow each other off of the map? Answer this honestly.

I'd say he's trolling to get a rise out of some people, but I think he might ACTUALLY feel this way. Talk about clueless.

![]() I love all you people who think you know everything about the world. I have been in 16 countries on 4 different continents. Most of you probably have never even lived more than a week outside the country. I am a strict isolationist. I don't believe a country $10 trillion in debt that will be running a $2 trillion deficit in 2009 should give a nickel to neanderthal countries like Egypt and Israel. We should never have spent a nickel in Iraq either. This entire part of the world is still living in the stone ages. Let's get down on our knees 5x a day to pray to God and then leave little girls in buildings to burn because they don't have on the right "headgear". Or let's not mix milk and meat because God doesn't like it especially when we don't cover our head with a piece of cloth. These are the type of wackos running countries. Ridiculous. Should we really be surprised these crazy people have been killing each other for thousands of years. |

Oh, I am not trolling. I am actually in the majority. Americans don't like giving money to crazy people to blow each other up when we have people in our own country that need health care and jobs, many of which are muslims and jews, and they are AMERICANS. |

They aren't like the Arabs. My guess is Israeli men get arrested for beating their wife up, but it's a guess. I haven't heard Israelis suggest that Arab countries should be wiped off the face of the Earth. As you can see, when rockets are shot into Israel, the Arabs (who shot them) target Kindergarten Schools etc. (not troops in particular.) They often fail to kill kids because the kids are kept home in bomb shelters that each Israeli house seems to have. Israeli soldiers are out away from other citizens. Compare that to Hamas members that surround themselves with women and children, and then claim Iraelis target civilians. Evidently, the people of Gaza voted for Hamas. They are quiet when Hamas shoots rockets into another country, but it's a different story when those bombs come right back at Hamas members. Arabs kill each other all the time, and it's only when they are harmed by Israelis that human life seems all that important to them. Same with other Muslims. Turks and Kurds kill each other all the time, and are proud of it. Soon as Israel started going after their fellow Muslims( Hamas members,) the leader of Turkey brought out the crime against humanity line. |

Why should I be paying higher taxes so Israelis and Egyptians can pay lower taxes? We have a situation where some working class americans are paying taxes to give aid to countries like Israel and Egypt, and there are plenty of wealthy people in their countries living better lives than working class americans. Let their people buy their own weapons. Not my problem. |

![]() The fact remains Chris, that we are not the only country in the world believe it or not. You, being Christopher Columbus, the world traveler, should realize this. Sometimes the crap that happens abroad has as much affect on the US as the domestic stuff, sometimes more. Are we to just look the other way??? I sure as $hit hope we wouldnt.

That UN has worked out real well. ![]() When they aren't screwing up the world they are molesting little girls all over the world. Great. That globalization has worked real well too. Tell it to all the people that lost their manufacturing jobs to slave labor in China. |

![]() makes you wonder what chris would do if he was walking down the street and witnessed a guy attacking a girl. i'm betting he'd pull his hat down a bit lower, stick his hands in his pockets, begin to whistle and act nonchalant, while pretending not to see what was happening. after all, it's not chris' problem. people get attacked every day, why should he care?
there were isolationists back during WW2 as well.. fact remains, altho the 'majority' chris proclaims to speak for may feel we should remain locked in our own little world, the realities of these situations is quite different. anyone other than uneducated horse trainers (j/k cannon, i'm cracking wise because of a certain remark above somewhere) would know that you don't pretend to not see what's going on, especially when it's your allies taking the heat. thankfully for this country, we were the recipient of aid back when we needed it. and now, altho we may not be quite as rich as we thought we were, we can certainly take care of our own, as well as those abroad who are less fortunate. especially when it's one of the lone democracies in that area. we have influence, and have every reason to use it-always wisely hopefully. |

Let me know when they get a sustained peace there, then you can tell me the billions and billions of dollars we have sent into the cesspool of a region actually has worked. Keep waiting, it isn't ever going to happen. Crazy religious people are just that, crazy. |

What is going to happen in the Middle East to change anything. Please tell me, and while you are at it tell every Secretary or State and President this country has ever known. None of them have done a thing except throw billions of dollars into the cesspool of a region. |
