cut Israel loose.

Literally and figuratively, to the tune of about $4bn per year. Our unconditional support of Israel's brutal occupation of the Palestinian territories, and their too frequent military slaughters of the relatively defenseless Gazans, allows Israel to act in defiance of law and civilized norms. The mainstays of popular support reflected in the poll, older GOP men, are among the most ignorant and racist segments of US society. No surprise, really. Apartheid, genocide. war crimes: what's not to like for that group?

just because you and a few of your terrorist supporting buddies don't agree doesn't change the results of multiple scientific studies. The VAST MAJORITY of American people see this clearly and support Israel.

you can still find videos from CNN, FOX, and MSNBC at youtube. Americans know who their friends are, and who their enemies are. OBL declared war on the US because of the presence of US soldiers in the holy cities of Mecca and MEdina during Gulf War I. WE ARE ALL INFIDELS TO THEM.

No. that is a out right lia. most Americans do not back Israel matter of fact a lot Americans don't like Israel. Especially after the elections when it tried to buy the elections.

"most of your friends" and "most of the USA". For example - most of my friends and myself did not vote for Obama and yet Obama won.

You are absolutely correct....Hamas killing Israeli women and children is wrong

Funny how no one makes a comment about the fact that more people were killed in Syria today than in Israel's entire operation in Gaza. And in Syria children are targeted and tortured -- but none of the critics of Israel talk about any of this. There has been more shouting in 5 days about Israel than in 20 months of slaughter in Syria in which 40,000 have been killed. How fortunate for the Jew haters that Hamas insisted upon firing hundreds of rockets into Israel in order to draw a response! Such a wonderful cover for the Jew haters to spew their ridiculous double standard.

Very well stated

Washington: The opposition group in Syria has said that the death toll in country has hit nearly 40,000...Homs and Damascus are the deadliest places in Syria, according to an opposition group...The Violations Documentation Centre said that of the 37,387 who have perished since fighting began, 6,992 were killed in Homs and 6,750 in the suburbs of Damascus. The total number includes 3,061 government soldiers, which the group only recently started to include in its count, CNN reports.

You are correct and almost all Israelis agree with your comment that A lot of people in the US think that killing women and children is wrong. therefore Israel is fighting the Hamas baby killers (They killed many Israeli babies such as Dorit Benisian and Yuval Abebeh with their rockets) . This is why most Americans support Israel.

did the US kill thousands in the carpet bombing of Germany? Japan? Vietnam? Iraq, and Afghanistan. Don't get me wrong....I'm not for killing babies...but let's not be hypocrites about this! Israel didn't launch a few hundred rockets on civilians first...Hamas did....Every country has the right of self defense...Unless you are mentally challenged, anti semitic, or anti zionist, you'd see it that way.

That filthy dream of yours. Obviously you don't agree to western principles, maybe you should move to Iran. I think you'd be very welcomed there...

What do you think a war means? Please, if you have any solution on how to kill Hamas who hides among civilians without hurting civilians you're free to give us advice, the IDF would want nothing more. Otherwise I suggest you stick your insanity to yourself.

Hamas, a terrorist organization that is famous for using its own population as human shields when firing their Iranian -made missiles at civilian targets does not have any legitimacy. The fact that Israel has waited so long to hit back speaks loudly of their patience and commitment to peace. Sadly, many Americans listen to the propaganda that the Islamists have been preaching, but it is really ignorance of the real situation that sympathies are given to the Palestinians.

But if we ACTUALLY go in on a ground op, there will be international hue and cry AFTER we go in, and we put our soldiers at threat of kidnappings. Either way, cease fire or ground op, we lose.

No, we in America do not support Israel. Most people hate Israel in the USA.

You realize that birds of a feather flock together, right? You hate Israel, and you are too intolerant and close-minded to associate with people of a different position than you on Israel. Therefore you assume everyone thinks like you and your local group of people, when polls show that's not true.

I'm an American jew and do not back zionists Israel either. I understand the fact that having rockets falling near you and family must be a horrible and indescribable situation. But haven't you ever question the root of all this hate? No one in this planet attaches explosives to their bodies and go out killing people just because they feel like it. Right? Haven't you ever question the root of all this? It seems you don't.

Leave the US if you think so. Israel is waging a war of self-defence where thousands of rockets have been fired against its territory. Meanwhile several peace proposals have been put forth by Israeli governments, but the palestinians have always refused. They don't want peace, they want piece (all of Israel).

On your biased stance. Why aren't Israel allowed to protect its territory? Because they're Jews? (Don't come with the "Israel occupies Gaza and the West Bank argument", it means nothing since Israel at several occasions have offered the palestinians a state of their own, even taken drastic measures as evacuating Gaza in 2005, after which rocket fire intensified.) You're blindly supporting a terrorist cause with the aim of killing Jews. Get started in your education by reading Hamas charter, and all Israeli peace proposals + why Gaza and the West Bank are occupied.

Yes, you do. Leave the US if you're against intellectual enlightenment. Statistics show US support for Israel have only grown over the last years, it's basically on a 20 year high.

the subject you are commenting on. . Judging by your name you are not NK, so what is your objection to Zionism.

And you don't understand what Zionism is???? ZION is just another NAME! A NAME for Israel and Jerusalem. READ YOUR TANACH dude! The God of Israel, the God of Abraham Isaac and Yacov is the biggest Zionist in the universe!! You gotta read the Tehilim before you talk so big. You ain't no Jew.

Thanks for reminding Americans that you celebrated and handed out candy at 9-11. We must stop US and UN funding to Palestinians. With all your expensive weaponry, you can support yourselves.

Hilary, the "Other Lawyer", Tony Blair has already made his visit. The "Israel-Hamas file goes to him. He will get the Lawyers' fees. Sory, try better next time. Sorry that you lost to Tony Blair. We believe that Tony Blair is a better "Negotiator" than you are. Besides, you never explained "The Bengazi-Patreus Thing". Are you aging badly ? Do you hide the Alzheimer ? The Parkinson ?

FOREVER!

You should learn history. Israel lived in peace with Iran. Jimmy Carter replaced the pro-American Shah with American hating Ayatollahs. The first act of the Ayatollahs did was declare war on Israel.

I haven't hear one American, even the most liberal, condemn Obama's illegal invasion of Libya, where he butchered civilians. I haven't hear one American, even the most liberal, condemn Obama's "double tap" drone attack, that deliberately targets rescue workers, medics and doctors.
