I think religions are false. That doesn't mean I can't support religious people.
Yeah, that's called not knowing whether your coming or going.... You don't believe in religion but believe you should support religion for someone else?
I think you should take a look at yourself when it comes to ignorance.
Most of the hate in that part of the world is driven by Western influence including the creation of extremist groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Maybe you should head to DC and say enough is enough when it comes to funding and arming psychopaths.

Interesting... You use political history (and maybe religion) to justify the Israeli cause but when it comes to international Extremism it's all Islams (Yes when you say that you are blaming every Muslim) fault and the fact that the USA and Europe have funded and weaponized those Jihadi's doesn't even factor in your argument..
So using your logic
we can say that every American supports their government and this would make every American an accessory to supporting Extremism with the tax dollars the US government uses to arm and weaponise ISIS..?
And taking into consideration that many of the Democratic leaders proclaim to be Christian, this would make every Christian around the world a sponsor of Extremism also?
But you know what I laugh at?
Now you Americans are in Iraq using weapons you paid for with your tax dollars to destroy weapons that you gave to ISIS that were paid with your tax dollars.
Maybe you should put your money to better things.. How about being constructive instead of destructive.

Its a weeding out of the pychopaths in high places and also time to deal with those instigators who see suffering as a means for making money by supplying both sides, setting up groups of people to subvert peace and of course the murder of people who raise their heads above the parapet and speak out.
US trained ISIS terrorist group in 2012
It has become common knowledge that U.S. allies such as Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia actually funded the terrorist groups that are now roaming Iraq.
In fact, there is a direct link between those terrorists and the U.S. foreign policy. Last year, Spiegel declared that Americans were training the Syrian rebels in Jordan to oust Assad.[8] But the evidence went back to 2012:
“Members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, were trained in 2012 by U.S. instructors working at a secret base in Jordan, according to informed Jordanian officials.
“The officials said dozens of ISIS members were trained at the time as part of covert aid to the insurgents targeting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The officials said the training was not meant to be used for any future campaign in Iraq.”
Mainstream media outlets such as the Daily Beast are indirectly saying the same thing. “As ISIS takes over town after town in Iraq, they are acquiring money and supplies including American made vehicles, arms, and ammunition.”
The plot thickens. By supporting and training terrorist groups, the United States of America has progressively become a terrorist state itself. In other words, the United States can magically create terrorist groups out of thin air and fight them later at your expense.
“Nearly 95 per cent of terrorist arrests have been the result of FBI foiling its own entrapment plots as a part of the so-called post-9/11 War on Terror, a new study revealed.
CIA Gun running in Libya
The CIA has been subjecting operatives to monthly polygraph tests in an attempt to suppress details of a reported US arms smuggling operation in Benghazi that was ongoing when its ambassador was killed by a mob in the city last year, according to reports.

What sort of rockets are they?
israel is always claiming the Palestinians are firing rockets and media always reports it but no media every reports what sort of rockets they are ???????????? funny that, I wonder why???

FACT - muslims do not give a # about fellow muslims.
When were you appointed as the official spokesperson for Islam and Muslims?
Can you prove this statement that you presented as fact?
I doubt you can...

You must be delusional. I never said I support Hamas or any other terrorist organization. That's pretty offensive.

There is a middle ground in this argument, however, you're not taking it. You are definitely expressing a support for the side of Hamas and mentioning none of their evils, yet condemning Israel only. That is called bias. A bias which lends support to the group you are now telling me you don't support. You must be delusional.

And what you did there was deflect from any hard questions about Israel, failing to answer them. I knew you would take that route.

In your mind it must be okay to kill children and women and old men and father's searching for their families in the bombed out rubble of their homes. It must be okay with you to bomb UN shelters.. How does that have anything to do with Hamas?

This is the nature of Asymmetric Warfare. Gaza is surrounded by land, sea and air. They cannot contruct sites for military use. The Israelis would destroy the facility with alacrity. They cannot designate certain buildings as armories or barracks; those buildings would be neutralized immediately.
So what should the Palestinians do? Suffer and endure what Israel wills they should have? Sit back, kick up their heels, and passively follow orders when troops issue them? Those questions bring to mind a different group of people that followed orders and did what they were told by armed troops. It didn't end well for them.
Let's put religion and culture aside for a moment. What would you do if an army were blockading the county you live in? Preventing access by all means and restricting movement, trade, aid and infrastructure? Using force to prevent anyone inside from leaving and repelling attempts by sympathetic factions? Slowly redrawing the boundaries making the territory ever smaller?
All of this is irrelevant right?
