Nonononono Mr. Buna.

America still gets blamed for the nuclear bombs on Japan that saved the world, we willingly eat the criticizm of being the only country to ever use the weapon in agression, you guys deserve what you get. You are our allies, even if it means you eating a poopy sandwich we made and served to you

(poopy is such a mature word)

Stop with the shoveling. The hole is big enough.

Who needs shovels? I want a (diamond covered) bucket of this:

Oh yeah, and I suggest we blame Canada.

It isn't a change over here, we have been blaming them for hundreds of years

You sure you want to go there

My damn power keeps flickering...

Brits can be blamed, but were it not for Germany losing this would not have happened.

Hows that?

I am jesting, no blame, it is what it is, and is too far beyond anyones timeline to change.

I just do not think America is the only perp in this. My only point really.

Not so much thread related, but a German guy with a Nixon sig is kinda creepy

He was the definition of xenophobe. He most likely wanted you guys nuked.

If you think my Israel rants are bad, you should hear the Nixon tapes about jews and negroes..

One of the few (political) things that absolutely drive me up the wall is guys here in the US who defend Israel's actions as if they can do no wrong. I'm talking about organisations like AIPAC and NGO Watch who "fight" for Israel from the safety of their K-Street offices. Then when groups like B'tselem and Breaking the Silence (people with the bravery to actually pick up a Galil and "stand up on that wall") speak out, they have the gall to call them traitors with "far left agendas."

In my heart of hearts, I genuinely believe most IDF soldiers know that the situation on the ground is not as simple as Netanyahu, Likud, and the pro-Israelis who live in comfort continents away from Jerusalem would like to believe. In fact, a close friend to my family was a Merkava tank trainer. One day back during the withdrawal from Gaza was all over the news she was driving me home from school and she put me on the spot and asked me how I felt about it. Though my family had passed their views on the Middle East to me (my grandmother lived during the Japanese occupation of Guangzhou, which is why she's sympathetic to the Palestinians), they also taught me enough sense to be sensitive and I merely said: "I think it's quite sad that these people have to leave their homes." Her reply to me: "Yes, it is sad, but it is something that has to be done. We should not have taken that land from the Palestinians"

So what do you think is gong on in Jerusalem?....just curious.

Great tension in the area, which has been for a long time, no news in that regard.
