Though in public the Obama Administration is emphasizing efforts to try to end the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, privately they have not only backed the invasion, but are providing Israel with the grenades and mortar shells falling on the strip.
It’s not been widely publicized, but the US military keeps munitions depot operating in Israel year-round, just so that when Israel gets into new wars they can step up with more ammo for their attacks.
Reports say that Israel never made an “emergency request,” but that the US tapped to stockpile anyhow for convenience’s sake in keeping Israel stocked with ammunition, and has been letting Israel access the munitions from the stockpile for at least 10 days now.
The Pentagon is shrugging it off as routine, but with the US trying to publicly be the face of negotiations, their bankrolling of Israeli aggression clearly looks bad, particularly as they try to criticize some of the more egregious attacks on civilians in Gaza, while those attacks are being carried out with US munitions.
Ah yes, the exceptional, indispensable nation, the epitome of Western civilization, the only superpower on earth…ensuring the most backward and brutish of countries continues to perpetrate the Holocaust against the Palestinian people.
For the warmongering people in Washington, democrats or republicans, any weapon for Israel is a good weapon when is used to kill Arabs nationals as Palestinians. In reality they wish for a non existence of Palestinians, or Syrian, or Iraqi while they would love to be in bed with Saudis and UAE because these regimes smell, beside other thing, oil and dollars that comes with it, but above all they are stone aged regimes and their illegitimate sons are operating as caliphate in Syria and Iraq thanks to Barack Hussein Obama and us Democratic Party.
Complicit to war crimes.
America has proved to the world THAT IT LIES AT EVERY CONCIEVABLE TURN.
They should be held in UTTER CONTEMPT AND DISGUST by all humanity.
I've read elsewhere that Israel routinely breaks into the ammunition bunkers and equipment warehouses and takes whatever they want. It's okay, the satrap known as the US has nothing to complain about. Nothing is too good for the megapower known as Israel.
The sad thing to me is that this rogue nation and my own are such brigands, such petty bullies. It's not heroic, you know. If they kick us to the curb around the world, shall we not deserve it?
There have been some funny responses in comments sections about what brainiacs the Israelis are. It seems to me that when they used to say that about the Germans (and they did) it did not stop the world from putting a stop to their aggression. The idea that you must not interfere with the irrational actions of these precious people surrounded by barbarians is a trope I am sick of hearing, mainly because it is a lie. They are not defending themselves, they are manufacturing conflict.
"Routine?' yeah, Obama and his gang are right this time around……Israel has a master key to the war chess.
I am ashamed of being a North American.
amerika is the dirty great satan..fact
"…bankrolling of Israeli aggression clearly looks bad…"
Especially when the US is accusing and criticizing the Russians who might be providing advisory and materiel support to the Ukrainian separatists. And the separatists aren't targeting helpless civilians in hospitals and refugee camps. No double standards there…eh?
As l always say "GOD BLESS THE GREAT SATAN"
If the purpose of this world is to reach the ultimate conclusion of greed driven crime, then gentlemen be prepared, for something most grand and awesome is about to transpire.
America is responsible for the genocide taking place. This country was built on genocide and it has continued to support genocide directly or indirectly ever since. Every person who does not act to stop it is complicit.
Prince of Peace Obama notwithstanding, the fawning, foolish U.S. prop-up Israel policy has not changed since the Nixon/Kissinger years.
Bolivia just declared Israel as a terrorists state and revoke the no visa agreement with Israeli visiting Bolivia. We need the world to do the same and have the "bull" as Bolivian president. Viva Bolivia.
Hear, hear- viva Bolivia !!
It's pretty sad when a small nation steps up and calls a spade a spade when the powerhouses of the world quake in their boots to do the same.
The Russians should bring this up! It's OK for the US to supply Israel but it's not Ok for Russia to do the same!!! Now is their chance to make an issue out of it.
Can somebody explain to me why the USA and it's European partners are imposing punishing sanctions on Russia for interfering in the Ukraine, occupying the Crimea and interfering in the Eastern Ukraine, while our Government openly and strongly supports Israel with untold billions of our taxpayer dollars, military weapons and equipment, as well as political protection in the United Nations, This while Israel has done to the Palestinians for decades, and much, much worse, than what we accuse Russia of doing to the Ukraine. The hypocrisy is overwhelming, nauseating and not a little infuriating. It is clear and convincing evidence that our Government has gone off the rails and that our country has been hi-jacked by a fanatical, well-organised, well financed and war mongering group of ideologues with strong ties to Israel.
For U.S. to give offensive weapons to Israel us flat out obscene…!!
They need to send hornets nests, and drop down the pants of all Zionists who support this kind of thing. But I would feel sorry for the hornets.
In what Universe does this even remotely make sense?
My Lord….who, really, is destroying the United States of America with these hypocritical positions?
Demonize Russia and others for the same duplicitous actions they perform for and with Israel.
How do they think this blind support of this rogue state well end? Can American politicians really believe there will be no fallout around the world? No piper to be paid? That the myth of American exceptional-ism and Israel's "Special Relationship" is not being exposed for the corrupt and disastrous lies they are? That the influence of Israeli supporters of all types in America has, in fact, hijacked the entire political, military and foreign relation priorities of America?
How can the American public be so disinterested in what is being done in their name?
The USG is reportedly criticizing “israel” for its Holocaust of the Palestinians.
Unfortunately, what the USG does speaks so loudly that I can’t hear a word it’s saying.
I'd join that peace conference, but I can't hear anything over the sound of how awesome these new artillery shells sound when they smack into a house in Gaza. Thanks, USA !!
(I wonder if the IDF artillery batteries are hosting visits from Israeli school children so they can write messages of hate on the shells like they did for the Lebanon debacle- if they are, I'll bet you dollars to donuts we won't see those pictures this time.)
The US government is sowing the seeds for the next 9/11.
I think that the following will address all of the questions and comments (but not the name calling — name calling or ad-hominium attacks; what people use when they have neither logic nor information to support their position)

some quotes from the charter: For our struggle against the Jews is extremely wide-ranging and grave, so much so that it will need all the loyal efforts we can wield, to be followed by further steps and reinforced by successive battalions from the multifarious Arab and Islamic world, until the enemies are defeated and Allah’s victory prevails.
The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him! This will not apply to the Gharqad, which is a Jewish tree (cited by Bukhari and Muslim).
Israel, by virtue of its being Jewish and of having a Jewish population, defies Islam and the Muslims. “Let the eyes of the cowards not fall asleep.”
Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors.
So what do we know from the words of the Palestinians and their government and its charter.
They prefer death to life, and the greatest thing that they can do is to die for their cause
They will not rest until all of Israel is theirs, and all the Jews are dead.
Well to bad for them. They are just whiny and stupid (Average Arab IQ by almost every measure is around 85. There are states in this country that publish more books than all of Arabia, they invent almost nothing, they create almost nothing. All that they can do is kill and consume the wealth derived form their oil) And since death and martyrdom is their goal in life, then why are they complaining? See links and quotes at the top. Of more interest is why are all non-palestinians supporting them? Cause, according to their belief system, you, whoever you are, if you are not Muslim, then you are next. And after all the non muslims are dead, then they will start killing each other as they so often do when there are no other soft targets around.
They prefer soft targets because, given their limited intellect, that is all that they can really handle. Ever heard of an arap fighter plane? How about an arab weapon of any kind that is not just a box of nails and some stolen explosives. (Iran is persian, not arab)
I may have missed it, but the Hamas charter has a lot of platitudes about doing good, showing mercy, doing justice, but only one specific call to action. Kill Jews. Perhaps there was a second one. Brainwash (educate??) their children to die in the name of Allah.
The only reason that anyone is complaining about the deaths of these arabs is because Jews are involved. The entire world, especially Arabs, put little value on the lives of arabs. The lives of arab women have zero value except as property. One a-sexual american once said that sex is like having someone else blow your nose for you. This is pretty much how Arab culture views women, as something to use for the sexual equivelant of blowing a mans nose. But women are the source of life in the civilized world. So you have a culture whose highest goal is death, does not see women as anything more than a mans property to be used and discarded when it no longer pleases him, does not invent or create anything and very well knows the lives of its members have a value of just above zero. When Arabs are killing each other at a rate of over 200 per day for over three years as in Syria, no one cares. Add in Iraq at 300 per week, and Libya at — well whose counting any more? And nobody cares. Because Arabs killing Arabs is not news. It is what they do. And recently, as of July 29, 2014 the death rate has been over 300 per day.
Since the people complaining hate Jews so much how about if you hate us so much you can Join the BDS movement. You can start by refusing to use anything that uses, as the nazis called it, Jewish science. Give up your cell phones and computers, and go live in a cave.
Special note to girls. What exactly are your thoughts on honor killing, and having your labia and clitoris removed? If you are part of the GLTB community you will be stoned to death in Palestine!!!
Still not sufficient evidence of the existential threat that Israel faces? Then compare the quotes from Hitler including those from mein Kampf with the above segments from the Founding charter of Hamas:
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holoc… http://www.mosaisk.com/auschwitz/Adolf-Hitler-abo…
The Jews are not stupid. They actually learn from experience. When they said Never Again, they meant it, and they have 75 to 400 nuclear weapons including many on submarines, and a sampson option to back up their position.
People complain that Israel does not want a two state solution. Well, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. As I said above, the Isralies are NOT stupid.
“At present we have a problem with the territory called Gaza,” the prime minister said. But the West Bank is 20 times the size of Gaza. Israel, he said flatly, was not prepared “to create another 20 Gazas” in the West Bank.
"Special note to girls. What exactly are your thoughts on honor killing, and having your labia and clitoris removed?"
I always find it odd that pro-Israel writers focus on this, given that Israel domestically practices and internationally defends male genital mutilation.
