Israel kills to Maintain Blockade

Deadly weapons?

lol..

I also find it funny how the official US response and the response from certain US posters here has been "they deserved it". Tell me, your country was quick to condemn us (the UK) on Bloody Sunday and yet here your quite content to keep your mouths shut. Do successive US administrations and evidently some posters here find themselves excusing some actions but condemning others when it suits them?

I guess the way it works in the USA is you look out for your own, that means certain groups which wiled influence in politics, the Israeli lobby in this case and the Irish lobby in the case of Bloody Sunday. And you wonder why many from outside the US look down on such double standards. I guess the USA and Israel really are a match made in heaven. Although it has to be said, we really have enjoyed being your lapdog for the past couple of years.

While it is tempting to draw parallels with the Northern Conflict I would advise against it the world was a different place then it is now, I would prefer not to derail the thread with nuggets of info on Bloody Sunday etc so I will leave it there.

Agreed, completely different in many ways. I simply wanted to draw attention to what is often the case of the USA being two faced on foreign affairs when it comes to pleasing certain sections of the US electorate.
