“The US has pledged $30 million in humanitarian aid to hard-hit Lebanon.”
And the US is rushing more bombs to Israel… (True story!)
Does anyone see a problem here?
First, the math. Smart bombs run close to $1 million apiece…So we pay to bomb Lebanon and then we pay to…Oh, never mind! It’s idiotic!
Steve, the religious right has to do something to clear it's conscience.
ReplyDeleteI disagree that we are paying to bomb Lebanon, we are helping the Lebanese because they are victims of Hezbollah as well as the Israelis. It is much more complicated than you are making out on your blog. Same goes for many of the pro-Israel at all expense people on the right.
If, as you say, it much more complicated than I am than I am making it out to be...perhaps you could educate me. Tell me why it makes sense to aid Israel by shipping them more bombs, post haste...and then playing the part of healer to the injured Lebanese. I'm all ears.
ReplyDeleteAhh Steve, would you not offer an injured criminal a band aid? What about the injured bystander?
ReplyDeleteWe have a responsability to aid the innocent victims caught between the giants. Israel is in danger precisley because of location, location, location. Is the blood of the jews less valubale than the Palestinains, the Arabs, or the Persians?
This is an epic battle that, in my pious opinion, will play out until the second coming.
I don't for a second think that money isn't playing a roll but neither am I a self loathing America hater (nor do I think you are).
"would you not offer an injured criminal a band aid?" Yes, after taking his weapon away. And who is the criminal in this case? The majority of the victims have been the innocents, as usual; that makes Israel and Hizbollah the criminals
