Israel is a soveriegn country and can do what ever it wants, but lets be honest here, how long would Israel survive with out our assistance? How many more of our US soldiers will be killed in Iraq and Afgan because of Isreal's actions? This are my concerns.

But, hopefully we can keep this discussion free all the usual bs, especially now that some of the bozo's are gone. :rastasmoke:
I just dont think ANY nation including our own is gonna tell Israel where and where it cant build settlements especially now that the majority see Obama as weak here and abroad.....i clearly remember watching for 4 days as the IDF DRAGGED jews from their settlements and MADE them leave, turning over it to the Palestinians outta some crack dream that that would change shit. It didnt and the rockets continued again. The war will never stop.....ever. even if all the Jews leave, you guys really believe Hezbollah is just gonna lay down their arms? If so your sadly,sadly, mistaken. Those islamic radical nuts seek a religous state throughout the middle east where women are nothing,music is outlawed, and people get their arms hacked off for taking a medicine shot from a westerner.
