Obama and Israel

Submitted by L. Jackson, Jan 11, 2008 10:54

We give Israel BILLIONS of dollars now....and I mean BILLIONS hello. How much more support do they need?

Aside from the obvious "christian" reason, where is the beef?

We support Israel and have always supported them. We pressure all nations with a carrot and a stick - that is called politics...get over it Xtians. Look what Bush did in Africa...just to get them to agree that America would not be charged with war crimes over Iraq.

Personally, I think our election process should be about what our candidates are going to do for THIS country. Israel can take care of itself....bring those billions of dollars home, and stand by the decisions of Israel or ANY country that is just trying to defend themselves....whats the dilemma there folks?
