And we happen to live here. The world does NOT revolve around America. The US interest in the ME is not the no. 1 consideration when we are talking peace. In fact it hardly comes in for consideration. So Gates should go worry about the US economy and but out of our affairs.

...since you are using the term wrongly, I can safely assume you are simply ignorant or you have an agenda. "Be a man" indeed. The chutzpah of you folks is astounding. Israel is in real trouble dear. It is in trouble because it has thumbed it's nose at it's closest ally ever since former President Jimmy Carter wrote his now as true as it gets book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid". Now the chickens are coming home to roost. And dear, your hatred of Muslims seems to be blinding you to reality. Seek help. You are doing Israel no favors with your drivel.

...you affirm that there may yet be some sanity in Israel proper. It also needs to be mentioned the things that people in Israel say about President Obama, especially "settlers" and youth. M. J. Rosenberg covered it, there are many examples of video on the 'net, and I firmly believe that President Obama should NEVER go to Israel, lest he meets PM Rabin's fate, because of the way Shin Bet refused to protect former President Carter on his visit, the President that Haaretz intoned should have been treated "royally" during that visit for his landmark Egypt Israel peace agreement that is still holding today. Israel is badly broken.

...the more he hears it, the faster all aid to Israel from the United States will end. In fact, please start posting on American Web sites with your message for Americans. Please rebecca, do it. Spread the word here in America that we should no longer support Israel. Be careful what you wish for sweetie... 'Careful for what you wish for. Folks like you do far more damage to Israel than any imagined threat from Iran would or does.

Joining the fascist ideology is not going to improve America. You are championing the cause that will lead to the destruction of America. You have traded the truth on which America was founded for the lies of a new gospel. Paul the gentiles disciple of Christ warned against believing even if it was delivered by an angel from Heaven. Thank about it eternity is a long time.

...and there are no invisible skydaddy's that hand out land deeds or mete out punishments. I know this because Jews cozy up to American evangelicals for purely cash laden political reasons without worrying about the consequences. Otherwise, why would Jews, who under the evangelical scenario will either have to convert to Christianity or spend eternity in the fiery pit, put up with nonsense such as yours? They do not believe you anymore than I believe you. The fact is, Israel is broken, and people like you who, who live in a universe of alternate reality have made it so. Oh, and by the way, wingnuts who make insinuations about a last name are in general people who have no clue at all, so they cover it up with asinine statements such as yours.
