Well, they kinda are....
According to who?
If they can claim they are God's favourites, then can i claim Messiah?

Then maybe you should give yourself a break for awhile. You have been posting for hours. Maybe take a walk get some air. do something you like to do for awhile and come back later the thread will still be here
No, Israel is a Democracy defending itself from evil.Nothing, but it has a lot to do with our support of Israel. The way I see it, Israel has no particular claim to moral superiority, and our alliance serves no American political, military or economic interest and antagonizes nations that we do have legitimate interests with.
Furthermore, I believe that Israel is aware of all of this and consciously abuses our lobbying system to distort American foreign policy in their interests.
Israel can do whatever it wants.
However, it should not be entitled to our support and money.
Israel is a vicious violent manipulative welfare queen from hell.
Republicans complete support of the nation violates all of their supposed principles.

No they're just another obnoxious Semitic tribe with delusions of grandeur. They're hardly different from the Arabs, they just happen to be the victims of European oppression so we all feel sensitive towards them.
This is an issue I really can't discuss with people older then me, because my parents generation just can't escape the pro-Israeli indoctrination they've grown up in.
-- There WILL be extra security on the streets in cities across the UK for at least the next two weeks.

Are there any other voting demoraphics we should exterminate?
I apologize for that comment, it was unfair and unreasonable.
However there is a noticeable difference between my generation (and I've noticed, pretty much my generation alone) and everyone else when it comes to Israel.
And to be honest there is a huge amount of "Jews are sad" literature foisted on all school students. I think for older people the Israelis successfully translated this into support for Israel (which is perhaps Israel's most disgusting crime). I think their ability to do that is faltering. Hence my generation.
Thats interesting. A while back I asked a palestinian poster on this website about how Hamas' attacks on Isreali civillians could be justified. His reply was remarkably similar.
You mean Israeli citizens demonstrate in the streets with suicide belts on and holding rockets pointed at Gaza and the West Bank? What foolishness.
Similarly, the people of Gaza seem to demand that their government do whatever is neccesary to end the crippling blockade!
The tragedy is that neither side is likely to acheive their goals through this violence.
We elected Blagojevich.
Blago has never taken somone homeland away and subjugated the loacals through decades to tyrany, torture and international war crimes either...
I just cannot understand why conservatives resent various American social welfare programs but are so happy to give so much money to that nasty little country that benefits us so little. And then they justify it with "well their enemies are worse." That's our standard? All a country needs to be "good" is worse enemies? The logic has become that the Arabs are our inevitable enemies and that we have to support Israel to fight them. The Arabs are our enemies because of Israel! I'm not saying they would have loved us without Israel's existence, but the region would have just been so much better for us. And for the Arabs too- all Arabs despotism uses the false threat of Israel to justify their regimes.
Do you realize that without our support of Israel it's possible that 9/11 may have never happened? Is it really worth that much?
If we told the world tomorrow that we would not support Israel any further until they denuclearized the entire world would view America so completely different that it'd be astounding.
When there are more civilians than militants in those areas?
Yeah pretty much, if it saves lives.

Erm, i can count on one hand the amount of Muslim/Arab countries that recognise Israel offically .... Why only pointing out Palestinians?
I think it works in completely the opposite direction, and if you listen to any of Osama's tapes, I think my view is confirmed. We're sucked into their hatred of Israel, not protected by it.
Actually our generation learned it from experience. We witnessed waves of bombings and attacks in Europe and the middle east. We watched the tragedy of the Olympics in munich. we watched several wars where Israel was for no reason surprise attacked by multiple Arab states
Then we watched after these wars Israel give back to those who attacked her land that she had taken in battle.
We have watched as Israel has made concession after concession and fulfilled demand after demand trying to secure peace in the region. And still she is under attack
No body had to hand us "feel sad for the Jews" pamphlets. All we had to do was watch the news.

I find it disgusting you make 240 sound like a small number.
