Re: Commentary on the Middle Eastern Problem the US could not logically back Israel if they went on a civilian killing spree. Also if they carpet bombed Gaza City it would make them no different than Hamas.

Mount Airy, MD | said by Kearnstd:the US could not logically back Israel if they went on a civilian killing spree. Also if they carpet bombed Gaza City it would make them no different than Hamas. Then why do we send so much aid to the Palestinians? And why is Israel always looked upon as the aggressor when it is Hamas, backed by Iran, that always is itching to start a fight?
And again, this is war. Perhaps if Hamas is so worried about its civilian population, then it should stop using them as human shields.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. |

We send aid for the same reason we send it everywhere else. Influence. |

Tulsa, OK | Foreign Aid is all about influence. Some of it military, some of it political, some of it economic.
Honestly, we can't afford it and need to drastically downsize our foreign bases and operations.
We can't fix everything.
That being said, supporting Israel is a no-brainer.

Anyone who straps a bomb on his child and sends said child to be blown up for any reason is a savage.
Anyone who purposefully stages rocket launching platforms in civilian areas knowing full well that a military response would cause collateral damage is a savage.
Anyone who indiscriminately launches rockets against a putative "military occupation" but cares not about said rockets hitting schools, libraries, malls, hospitals or other civilian soft targets is a savage.
The truth hurts, my friend.
