If asked whether they would shoot the devil, even if it meant hitting a hundred angels, I wonder what Israel would say.

I have already seen what they would do.

Well, they sacrificed Jesus, even a few hundred angels probably wouldn't bother them.

Careful now with the whole blood libel thing. It was in fact the Romans who did the killing for they fear the loss of Judea to a charismatic native leader.

Yes the Romans did the killing but the Jews were given the choice of who should be crucified.

An artificial choice. He was going to die anyway. Democracy did not exist in the Roman Empire. It allowed Pilot to literally and politically "wash his hands", but like Lady Mac Beth's spot, it will never come out.

so let's all hate Italians.

Even if the stories are true Tanya, do you really hold a people responsible for something their ancestors did 2000 years ago? If so then a lot of people (all the Irish for a start) would be justified in hating me; I'm English afterall.

John has a point. This blood libel things is just used to perpetuate conflict. Nothing good comes from it.

The problem of blind faith and conducting life according to dogma demonstrated in comments. Love turns to hate at the speed of thought.

We already know what the Israeli actions in Gaza are. The question I think Americans need to be asking is "Am I willing to continue footing the bill to the tune of $3 Billion dollars a year and unlimited vetoes of UN criticism of Israel under any and all circumstances?"

What Israel does, they do with American bullets, bombs, and political muscle behind them.

Gaza is my, and all Americans', atrocity. Because it was paid for with our tax dollars.

spammers. Wish they would advertise more on government sites.

if you're an american really fired up about your tax dollars killing innocent arab kids, you might try asking the american government to stop killing iraqis, directly and indirectly. they're at least supposed to listen to you, more than the israelis are. and we've pretty much eliminated the idea that the iraqis are going to blow up american towns, whereas the idea that hamas is going to blow up israeli towns is still Plan A for them.

that's if you want to do something to save lives, of course, rather than just sit back and point fingers at other people because you feel bad about what your government is doing but not bad enough to take some kind of effort or risk.

Without the slightest idea on what anyone has done, you draw conclusions and then give instructions.
