“Most Americans are quite ignorant about Israel, since they get their news from the Zionist/corporate media.”

Oh that’s funny!  Now the liberal press is really controlled by… Israel?

I didn’t claim to speak for most Americans. I said “some of us”. Most Americans are quite ignorant about Israel, since they get their news from the Zionist/corporate media.

“some of us” - uh huh.

Yeah, the old ‘Zionist media’ pulling the puppet strings of the dim rabble.

Can’t you at least come up with an original smear?

This guy’s ignorance continues to amaze me; casting his lot with a terrorist group sworn to the firey destruction of Israel

Nothing ignorant about Carter. The man knows exactly what he’s doing; all the more shame on him, then.

The Saudis have financed his Carter Center in Georgia to the tune of $15 million. (Yes, those misogynist, intolerant, head-and-hand-chopping, 9-11 terrorist-producing Saudis.) Can you say Quid Pro Quo?

Carter just sided with Hamas - claiming that the US has no right to give financial support to Fatah and not to Hamas.  This guy’s ignorance continues to amaze me; casting his lot with a terrorist group sworn to the firey destruction of Israel, and claiming the US has to go along with it.

....that’s why we hate Israel.

Speak for yourself.

The latest Gallup polls (among others) show the US public’s support for Israel at an all-time high.

Negotiating with Arab muslims is a waste of time.  Let them negotiate with the wall between them and Israel.

lilmamzer, Gee, you come across as one of those radical, prejudiced, anti-goy israelites, irrationally assigning blame for all the ills of the world on the non-jews, the most creative contributors to the world’s values, who have unfairly suffered throughout history at the hands and mouths of the jewish segment of the semite populace.

Ouch, you really spanked me.

The people in Israels government are none to bright.  Who do they propose to negotiate with? The three or four collaborators willing to stand out in public and who are likely to get shot? Hamas is still strong in the West Bank and Abbas is likely to be kicked out there.

Brighter than you give credit for. Palestinian Arabs freely chose Hamas as their elected government. Hamas chooses to make war against the citizens of Israel. The sovereign State of Israel, per her respnsibility to protect the lives of her citizens from external enemies, now has an address to respond to militarily. As it should be.

Unless, of course, Hamas decides to stop it’s futile war against Israeli civilians - you know, stop bombarding Sderot and Ashkelon with rockets, stop sending homicide-bombers to massacre busloads of Israeli children, you know, the usual Hamas foreign policy initiatives.

What do you think the chances of that happening are?

This Cheney Cabal has already hijacked our government, and it would appear that they’ve pretty much hijacked Israel’s government as well.

You’ve got it exactly backwards.

It’s the Zionists who have hijacked the American government.

Have you learned nothing from reading Truthdig????

After all, the results of the elections there suggest that the majority of Palestinians, including in the West Bank, support Hamas.

And that’s a good thing, right? Hamas are the good guys in all this, right? And that’s who the Palestinian Arabs chose, right? So it must be a good thing, right?

Thanks Spinoza. I’m guessing that the people in Israel’s government have been led astray by other powers. This Cheney Cabal has already hijacked our government, and it would appear that they’ve pretty much hijacked Israel’s government as well.

But, it makes sense that the Palestinians in the West Bank, who have zero civil rights, and remain oppressed under Israeli military rule, will in fact not put up with it any longer. Abbas has unfortunately done NOTHING for them, other than to allow things to become worse.

I read recently that settlers have resumed a steady influx, from Israel to the West Bank. How can this all not be the recipie for elevated disaster?

The people in Israels government are none to bright.  Who do they propose to negotiate with? The three or four collaborators willing to stand out in public and who are likely to get shot? Hamas is still strong in the West Bank and Abbas is likely to be kicked out there.
