The U.S also supported the Government of General Pinochet over the elected Government of Allende.
As far as Hamas wanting to destroy Israel, it has every right to as long as Israel continues with the illegal occupation. Britain, France, and the U.S wanted to destroy Nazi Germany about 60 years ago. I think you'd agree they had every right to think that way at the time.
you completely ignore my point and blah on about something about allende? who gives a fuck. US and Israel are supporting abbas and his government. that is the only chance for peace. why are you supporting hamas. if you are on the palestinian side, which you clearly are, why not encourage the talks that are already going on. Israel will give up the land you so dearly love but they will only do it with a government who recognizes its right to exist. hamas does not. that will never bring peace no matter how much you cry about it.
In that attitude, I see the lily-white North american-consumer-nothing-can-touch me-i'm always-on-the-right-side pattern of non-thought that permeates this culture.
That's very noble of you. However, your misplaced impartiality is exactly what has been preventing any chance of peace in the region for the past 40 years. Until Israel is made to abide by international law and remove itself from the occupied territories then the situation will remain the same.
The U.S Government makes no effort anymore to conceal it's 100% support for Israel. It has just increased it's military aid to Israel by a further 25%. Your impartiality may seem to be magnanimous to some, but it does nothing but reek of support for the current impasse.
Many people spoke of the blacks in South Africa during Aparthied needing to do more to help themselves, and of being to blame for their own mess, e.t.c, e.t.c. (Maybe that's why the U.S supported the Aparthied regime until the very end?). But I'm afraid that sometimes sitting on the fence just isn't an option - in fact in some circumstances it's downright stupid.
it was a rhetorical question. you live just as far away as he does.
But I don't take the latitude in opinion to know what it is like to live there, or what the real deal is when it comes to life beyond politics in that region of the world.

Maybe, sometimes. I don't consciously do it.
I know debating is fun, and possibly even more fun if the subject means nothing. I see a lot of latitude on this Israel-Palestine issue, and to my thinking, at best, it is only part and parcel to the continual turning away from the truth. It's a lot of wasted words.
Do you even read my posts? I listed off a whole bunch of things that Israel needs to do, but you ignore that. Fencesitting means DOING NOTHING. Making concrete suggestions is more intelligent that what you do, which is just insult people. Old habits die hard, eh? Why do you behave like such an ignorant asshole, when so many posts indicate that you do in fact have something between your ears?
Anyhow, thanks for reminding me why I was gone for months.
I wasn't aware that I'd insulted you. I apologise.
