31. #21 robert - addendum to #27 tom

Yes, millions fought Hitler [and Japan; don’t forget them. Many fought both], and millions died. But FDR refused to allow Jewish refugees from Hitler into the US, wanting to put them under the quota for Germans (adding insult to injury). There are famous cases of refugee ships being refused entry (as they were from other countries), having to return to Germany where all the passengers were eventually killed. During the war, FDR refused to bomb the railway tracks to Auschwitz. He couldn't spare even one bomber out of the hundreds sent into Germany every day? Yeah, right... It’s a good idea to check facts; even a better idea to check all of them, not just some.

Israel will be finished as a viable state once Israel attacks a country with more combat veterans than Israel has people You need to open your eyes and smell the coffee, you really think that Israel can successfully pursue a war with Iran? Who will have Russian and Chinese allies?

37. Until it's time to jail citizens . . . .
SD Charger ,   San Diego   (08.12.12)
The US Prez has the same powers in the Patriot Act, which include detaining citizens. The "powers that be" are threatened by the recent "Occupy / Citizen Protests" that have taken place. The PM / Prez can now order our military to detain and arrest during mass protest. These are a single item on the list and there are many more things they can do without Congress / Knesset approval. What kind of democracy allows these things to take place? Didn't this happen in the past already?????
38. Look into this people !
SD Charger ,   San Diego   (08.12.12)
In the US, under the Patriot Act, our Prez has the power to order the military to round up and detain US Citizens as well as ordering the military into action abroad. He can detain us during mass protest or revolt against the government. I bet Bibi's "new power" says the same thing. Look into it for YOURSELF.
39. New Tech Conference on the 20th?

Arabs are trying to get rid of their dictators and in Israel a new one is born. So much for Democracy.
