This just gives me more incentive to get out and vote next year for a democratic president who might not kiss his ass.
Sadly I don't think Hillary is that person and whoever is the Republican will be 10 times worse
Meanwhile, Ethnic Cleansing Continues unabated
For the second time this year, Israeli settlers have tried to evict this woman and her family from their house in the Muslim Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem to make way for a Jewish settler family.

I just think the US should treat Israel like any other country. No more blank checks and unconditional support.

IF Isreal is dumped then so should Turkey! Turkey has committed several acts of genocide on Armenians, Greeks, Kurds and Assyrians in the past 115 years!That would make me insanely happy and any politician who helped make that happen would get a lot of browny points from me. Unfortunately tho there are too many Zionists in Washington who believe that Israel's existence fulfills prophecy and/or that if we dont support them God's wrath will befall us. And the ones who arent Zionists simply think Israel's crimes can be ignored as long as they are an "ally". So the status quo is unlikely to change any time soon. I doubt we'd even stop supporting Israel if they gased an entire refugee camp. Politicians would find some way to blame it on the victims or just outright ignore the whole thing cause god forbid we tell Israel that they arent above laws and that they arent special little snowflakes.

This story made me sad. I cannot imagine the life these people are living in day in day out. Thoughts of the little boy coming home from school only to find his house destroyed and his parents crying is just so wrong.
Is it any wonder the cycle of violence continues? We (the US) needs to stop sending our money and weapons over to a country doing these types of acts on another people. If the US continues to support Israel then we are an accessory to the crimes committed there.
Ethnic cleansing is such a sickening term. We should just call this what it really is. It's genocide.

Also Israel will NOT gas anyone! Gaza keeps launching rockets into Israel. What do you expect the Israelis to do.
WASHINGTON (AP) The Obama administration signaled on Wednesday it could take a tougher stance toward Benjamin Netanyahu following his decisive Israeli election victory and campaign tack to the right, saying there will be consequences for his sudden reversal on the idea of an independent Palestinian state.
While senior American officials said the administration was still evaluating options, they suggested the U.S. could ease its staunch opposition to Palestinians turning to the UN Security Council to create a state.
"There are policy ramifications for what he said," one official said of Netanyahu's campaign rhetoric rejecting the creation of a Palestinian state. "This is a position of record."
If Netanyahu holds firm to his opposition to a two-state resolution to the Mideast conflict, it could force whoever sits in the Oval Office now and in the next administration to choose between the prime minister and a longstanding U.S. policy with bipartisan support.
Hours after the Israeli election results were finalized, the White House quickly reaffirmed its support for the idea of two independent nations living side by side, a central tenet of peace negotiations led by presidents from both U.S. political parties. And the White House sharply chastised Netanyahu's party for using anti-Arab rhetoric in the lead-up to the election.
"Rhetoric that seeks to marginalize one segment of their population is deeply concerning and it is divisive," Obama spokesman Josh Earnest said.
