31-Jul-14 World View -- The Gaza war becomes existential

[anonymous1]

Israel is cursed by the world because they have less victims. Everyone tells Israel to be the big man and ignore the rockets. The Iron Dome thing is working out for them.

I was half jesting a bit with this comment. Turns out some people who want to lead the county do feel this way:

"Obviously, Israel is one of our strongest allies in the Middle East, and she has the right to defend herself," Grimes said. "But the loss of life, especially the innocent civilians in Gaza, is a tragedy. The Iron Dome has been a big reason why Israel has been able to withstand the terrorists that have tried to tunnel their way in."

I never do trust ladies who never give up their maiden names once hitched.

Back to my original post about how journalists are pointing fingers at Israel before getting all the facts. Well, it seems they are being pressured as per this article:

Granted its a pro-Israel site but they didn't forge the tweets from independent journalists. Usually articles from the right, except from FOXNEWS, tend to be fair and objective.

At one time or another we have all been involved in war. Innocence does not exist.

If things really play out the way John predicts, then Turkey will assist Iran. That is another game changer. Turkey is a NATO ally that matters. I don't think Israel is worth it. I think Israel is a liability which has become a piano on the West's back.
