No...Try Eretz Isroel, Bet Selem, Tikun, etc...you know...Israeli organizations that don't support the genocide their government is committing in their name. It's not that they can do not right...they refuse to do right. They have a right wing hawkish government (gee...no surprise there...rightist war mongers) that insist on expanding settlements into Palestinian territories while they remove Palestinians at gun point. Instead of arresting people for acts of terrorism, they blow up civilian neighborhoods with bombs and rockets from planers and helicopters...even using illegal munitions like white phosphorus bombs against people. Government leaders have been behind this...Ariel Sharon, while in the military, led one of the worst massacres of Palestinian civilians in the region's history.
It doesn't matter, Jerry, what other countries are doing. We are talking about Israel and their genocide of Palestine. Those other countries need to be dealt with as well, but that doesn't excuse what is going on in Israel. Panama and Grenada were already dealt with back in the 80's BTW. Libya has also changed its tune when Kaddafi's son, who was educated in the US, took over power and doesn't support dad's ideas. You might want to do a little research and update your list. How many of those places you listed are a result of western Europeans propping up cruel dictators and supporting their evil regimes because they are compliant with out corporate interests? So in your view...might is right and genocide is ok. I feel sorry for your children and the generation of hate mongers you are helping to bring up.

"The first title is more accurate. Israel learned well from their Nazi oppressors and have become the very embodiment of them. Israel disgusts me. We need to cease all aid to Israel until Israel decides to grow the fuck up and stop acting like spoiled children." "Israel feels it can to whatever the fuck it wants. Israel plays on the guilt of western Europe for not stepping in to stop Hitler sooner and rubs salt in that wound constantly to get what it wants. It's time to get over that guilt and stop Israel as they have become the very oppressors that fled Europe to escape." Eric, Israel could have eradicated every citizen of the Gaza Strip, many times over. During past conflicts, Israel had tanks parked on the bluffs around Damascus. If Israel wanted to commit genocide or war atrocities, they could have done it easily. The history you are learning about Israel from the Democratic Underground, the Huffington post, and the Daily Koz are doing you a tremendous disservice. Israel is in a bizarre situation. They are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Israel launched the Six Day war when its neighbors started massing troops on the border. Israel thoroughly beat its neighbors, but was condemned by the majority of the world. The Yom Kippur war followed. Again, the neighbors massed their troops on the border. This time, Israel decided to wait. Let other countries make the neighbors back off or at least not aim blame at Israel when the neighbors did attack. The neighbors attacked. After a disastrous initial showing, Israel rallied to win again. Again, they were blamed. They can do no right. "Might does not make Right Jerry." Good point. We can sing "Peace Train" after you pass this news on to Tibet, Ireland, Afghanistan, Iraq, Angola, Cameroon, Congo, Egypt, Libya, Swaziland, Tunisia, Uganda, Eritrea, Zimbabwe, Panama, Grenada, Kuwait, the Republic of Georgia, Somolia, the Kurds in Iraq and Turkey, and so on.
