Palestinians clashed with Israeli forces in Jerusalem on Tuesday as the United States, which has slammed Israeli settlement plans as undermining peace efforts, played down strains in its alliance with the Jewish state.

The Jewish state is, at this point in history, a threat to world peace.

First, the US must give a time-limited demand of Israel to remove itself from occupied lands. Then follow it up with increasing military presence on scene offshore to begin with. Letting the Jewish state know what will be done to secure the legal rights of the 4 million Palestinian citizens.

Israel cannot depend on poorly led Christian communities in the US, who think that the US must defend ethnic "Israel" (the people and gov't of Israel) while the ethnic Israeli's say that "God gave Israel this land," and then break God's Ten Commandments in the process of their rip off.

For US Christians, the real "Israel" of God is the Christian Church, which should be actually keeping the religion that God gave the Jews, rather than defending a sinful Israel which is involved in internationally illegal ripping off of lands to which it's signed relationship with the UN, does not allow it.

"We have come to throw stones because that's all we have..." a statement by a so-called Palestinian "terrorist." Israel has an army, planes, tanks, missiles, helicopters, bulldozers, Oh! and BILLIONS OF AMERICAN DOLLARS A YEAR. Palestinians have rocks, and $0. from America.

An ethnic state didn't work too well for Hitler and it doesn't seem to be working for the Israelis either. We should cut all aid to Israel until they make a deal with the Palistinians and actually enforce it. They are creating our insecurity in the world single handedly by saying one thing and doing exactly the racist other.

Hamas was willing to institute a thirty-year cease fire. If one looks at the record rather than at abstract statements, hamas has no choice but to live with the Zionist state. And in november 2008, it was Israel that broke the ceasefire. The whole world knows this, but it now becomes "anti-semitic" top say it.

In the final analysis, Israel’s continued persecution, murder, and displacement of the Palestinian people will be remembered as a crime against humanity of the highest proportions, a reign of terror more successful in its achievement than the Nazi Holocaust—an achievement that could not have been accomplished without the enabling support of the United States Congress and the American media.
