america dont give a ? japan is still feeling the affect of the attomic bomb, its all about money
And being lapdogs for Israel. Israeli officials are pressuring America all the time to bomb Iran, and one day, Iran will be bombed to ? because of America's slave like devotion to "protecting" Israel.
It's only a matter of time before Iran becomes the Middle East Cancer capital, the way Iraq is now. -

Israel systematically discriminates against its non-Jewish citizens, in a system that can only be described as Apartheid. This is true not only for the Israeli regime in the Occupied Territories but also for the State of Israel itself. Unequal land laws, selective distribution of funds, social services, state emblems, and the political system all attest to the marginalization of the Palestinian Arab community in the State of Israel and the imposition of an exclusive Jewish identity on the State. In the Territories, the situation is worse than Apartheid in many ways, as many eminent scholars have pointed out, including Israeli journalist Tanya Reinhart, with forcible expulsions, land expropriations, and “pogroms” (in the words of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert) against Palestinians being commonplace. Rather than the use of Apartheid being seen as insulting to the plight of Black South Africans, many South African anti-Apartheid activists, such as Ronnie Kasrils and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, have actively campaigned against the State of Israel and explained that the situation in Palestine strongly resembles the Apartheid regime that existed in their own country.
Although those living within Israel's legal borders can vote, there numerous diverse mechanism in place which systematically discriminate against this minority. Furthermore, in the Occupied West Bank, apartheid can clearly be seen in the physical divisions between the privileged class of Jewish settlers and the oppressed, indigenous Palestinian population; this separation/apartheid/haFrada is embodied in the existence of a massive concrete barrier between the illegal Jewish settlements and the Palestinian communities. Not only is this a division based on racial lines, the illegally occupied West Bank that has been transformed into a collection of bantustans, surrounded by Israeli soldiers, hostile and violent Jewish settlers, checkpoints, and concrete walls.
Israel excludes Palestinians and non-Jews from state land and land belonging to the Jewish National Fund, it does not exclude Jews from the very limited and minimal land remaining under Palestinian (“Arab”) ownership. This has been compared to Apartheid South Africa where only 13% of the land could be owned by the native African population, but the difference lies in the fact that South African law guaranteed that 13% as African land, while Israeli law makes no such provisions for what it terms “Arab land”
The Central Bureau of Israeli Statistics indicates that 85% of Palestinians in Israel are in the bottom five deciles of income distribution while 50% of Jews in Israel are in the upper five deciles. Palestinian familes earn, on average, less than 65% of the average income of Jewish
families. IDF service a requirement for employment in many jobs; the vast majority of Palestinians do not serve in the IDF, and thus are excluded from these jobs
There is not a single Arabic-language university in Israel, despite Palestinians making up some 20-30% of the population. Systematic discrimination exists in the Israeli education system with separate schools for Palestinian and Jewish schoolchildren. Selective allocation of funds means Arab schools are usually overcrowded, underequipped, underperforming, and having less reources relative to Jewish schools. Jewish curriculum is all-round with history, politics, sciences being taught while the curriculum in Arab schools is very heavily censored, with history, politics, and any national material being edited out.
Recognize that what Israel is doing within its own borders and against Palestinians in the Occupied Territories IS Apartheid.
Great post!!!!!!
Israel is proving over and over again what an evil, apartheid nation it is every day. I should also add that Israel will NOT stop building settlements on occupied Palestinian land. Israel's Foreign Minister said this today, despite the fact the peace talks are next week, LMAO!!!!!! Un ? believable.

JERUSALEM — Israel's foreign minister said Wednesday that it would be unacceptable to extend a slowdown on West Bank settlement construction, even as Mideast peace talks get under way next week.
Avigdor Lieberman, whose ultranationalist Yisrael Beitenu party is a major partner in the governing coalition, told Israel Radio he realized that resuming settlement construction would antagonize both the U.S. and the Palestinians. But he said that maintaining tight restrictions on building would "punish" tens of thousands of Israelis living in the settlements.
"We don't need to create unnecessary conflicts but we don't need to punish and we don't need to fold either," he said.
Lieberman's comments added a powerful voice to a debate that is having deep repercussions for the U.S.-backed peace process. A 10-month moratorium on most West Bank construction expires Sept. 26 and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under heavy domestic pressure to allow building to resume.
Renewed construction in the settlements could spell disaster for the peace talks before they even get off the ground. But leaving the moratorium in place could cause Netanyahu's hard-line Israeli government to crumble.
Government spokesman, Mark Regev, refused to say what Netanyahu would do after the settlement slowdown expires.
Israeli officials said they hope to reach some sort of arrangement before next week's summit launching the peace talks in Washington. But an agreement is far from certain. The U.S. is pushing Israel to refrain from any action that could upset the peace talks, and the Palestinians have threatened to walk away from the negotiating table if any settlement activity resumes.
Lieberman suggested that Israel resume construction in major settlement blocs that Israel expects to retain under a future peace deal, while limiting construction elsewhere.
Some 80 percent of the nearly 300,000 West Bank settlers live in these blocs, which are concentrated along the boundary with Israel. Past proposals have suggested that Israel "swap" an equal amount of territory in exchange for the settlements.
--Israel is a disgusting country, for real. -

True, but it does not change the fact people all over the Middle East have joined forces with Al-Qaeda to hurt America and its lapdog Israel. Or hurt Israel's lapdog.....I can't tell which country is which anymore. In any case, America's colony in the Middle East, Israel, is hurting America's reputation worldwide. The sooner ALL aid to Israel is stopped, the sooner America can actually get some respect from the Middle East.
It would also help if Obama and his warlords in DC stop supporting dictatorships all over the Arab world. Saudi Arabia and Egypt are among the countries which have had long running dictatorships.......backed up by American dollars of course!!!!!!!
Supporting bloodshed and oppressing people is the AmeriKKKan way!!!
Hallelujah!!!! -
well, it does if we're debating whether or not they've "joined forces" with al-Qaedakingblaze84 wrote: »True, but it does not change the fact people all over the Middle East have joined forces with Al-Qaeda-
so i have to tell you, it's contradictory to call Israel "America's colony" when you're saying Israel runs America.kingblaze84 wrote: »-to hurt America and its lapdog Israel.
