Oh come on, this is ridiculous. 50% of Americans are religious, 20% of Israelis are muslims, a large percentage of Israelis are followers of Judaism (some of them are anti-zionists btw). What on earth does it all have to do with the support of Israel in the US and nationalism? 95% of americans and 91% of Israelis are meat eaters, why don't you blame the support of Israel and patriotism on the fact that people eat meat? What you are saying is that americans are religious, americans support Israel so the support of Israel is based on religion. This is a pretty pathetic logical fallacy, a ten year old could have avoided it but then Israel haters have never been accused of logical and coherent thought process to begin with.Quote from Gringinho:
Dear a_person ...
Would you say that 50% of US voters are religious? Maybe more? What made you think that I was implying that support came from only jewish voters? Are you trying to label me again ... tsk, tsk ...
The US has not any right to do what it wants internationally, nor has Israel. That is why we have international law. The same goes for Iran.
How many percent of Israeli voters are religious? I would guess it's a pretty high percentage. Then you also have the extreme right wing groups in both Israel and the US where nationalism is rampant.
Breaking international law should be subject to prosecution. Then there are international treaties, and members of those treaties should be subject to pressure and sanctions thereof if they violate the treaty.
You seem like you don't respect the law, or any democracy ... ?
Now, as far as international law is concerned: the objective of any law is to protect the innocent and to catch, prosecute and punish perpetrators. When international law protects Israel from Qassam and Katyusha rockets and suicide bombers, when international sheriffs arrest and prosecute Ahmadinejad for threatening its neighbor and violating non-proliferation laws, when international courts force arab and muslim states to follow the law and recognize Israel's right to exist, when international law enforcement agencies comb Lebanon and Gaza and return kidnapped Israelis back to their families - perhaps then we can seriously discuss the merits of this law. I really hate to burst your bubble but until then all these laws are not worth the paper the Brussels bureaucrats wrote them on.
