Yeah, we hold their hands and babysit them with our technology and our money but they always pay it back right?  I mean, all that support they came over and gave us after 9-11 and helping us rebuild NYC.  And how they came over for relief efforts when those horrible tornadoes struck the Bible belt as God was punishing those gays...  How they donated their lunch  money to the families that lost everything and had nowhere else to go from other disasters...  we couldn't have done it without them.

Theyre not our only ally, and even if they were, its pretty one sided as we give them all konds of shit and they gice us nothing back.

Generally thats called leeching Joe. We bend over backwards for them, our politicians have to practically grovel at their feet to get or stay elected, and they dont do shit in return for us except use us further. Hell there are people tbat have said Mossad has been involved in some horrible attacks against our interests that wound up helping them when we reacted.

They use us. Period. We get nothing out of the relationship except heartache and being sucked into power struggled we have no business being involved in.

I tend to side with israel on most things but I dont believe we have any business letting them use us and giving them money and aid to the extent we do. They practically extort the US taxpayer through our politicians.

Really theyre about as much an ally as the Saudis are. Theyre just enough our allies to reap the benefits, but they wouldn't bother to piss on us if we were on fire.  

As a conservative I believe we should keep our taxpayer money and use it to bettwe our own citizens rather than sending it and tech to a country that has more than enough training and firepower to level the countries around it 10x over.

Good points, although it's definitely in our strategic best interests to have a friend/ally in a region of the world where so many people hate us.  And as powerful as the Israeli military is, they might have a difficult time defending themselves based on sheer numbers.

Well of course,  but were still a deterrent just by them knowing wed come to their aid if they needed us, we dont have to spend billions in tax dollars and get all twitchy everytime a muslim country makes a threat.

Israel is capable of handling themselves pretty much 99% of the time.

If Israel wanted to slaughter the useless, terrorist supporting pigs called "Palestinians", whom by the way none of the other countries in that area want in their own land, they could easily overrun every single "Palestinian" town and kill every one of them.

And you know what? There is no nation that could stop Israel from doing it. NONE!!!

Yet, they haven't done so. Incredible restraint by the only democracy in that region. GOD BLESS THEM FOREVER!! LONG LIVE ISRAEL!!! And of course, Israel will live forever.

CNN boots reporter from Israel-Gaza conflict after 'scum' tweet

CNN has pulled correspondent Diana Magnay out of her post covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after the reporter tweeted that Israelis cheering bombs hitting Gaza, and who had allegedly threatened her, were “scum.”

Magnay was "threatened and harassed" before and during her report, a CNN spokeswoman told The Huffington Post, leading to the reporter's reaction on Twitter.

“She deeply regrets the language used, which was aimed directly at those who had been targeting our crew," the spokeswoman added. "She certainly meant no offense to anyone beyond that group, and she and CNN apologize for any offense that may have been taken.”

Israelis could be heard cheering missiles heading for Gaza on Thursday during a live Magnay report from a hill overlooking the Israel-Gaza border.

Hamas is a terrorist group idiot.  

Hamas is a terrorist group only according to some countries (with the USA being one of those countries).  Hamas is also a political party that has managed to win elections to the majority of seats in the Palestinian Parliament.

Hamas (Arabic: حماس‎ Ḥamās, "enthusiasm", an acronym of حركة المقاومة الاسلامية Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah, "Islamic Resistance Movement") is a Palestinian Sunni Islamic organization, with an associated military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, in the Palestinian territories.

Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization by Israel and a number of Western and non-Western governments; The United States, Canada, the European Union, Jordan, Egypt and Japan classify Hamas as a terrorist organization. Other states, however, including Iran, Russia, Turkey, China and many Arab nations do not. Since 2007, Hamas has governed the Gaza Strip, after it won a majority of seats in the Palestinian Parliament in the 2006 Palestinian parliamentary elections and defeated the Fatah political organization in a series of violent clashes.

During my time in Israel their Arab citizens (20%) were happy, had their Mosques, own villages protected by Israeli police, free education incl. the University in Jerusalem, their own TV/radio station, newspaper, free medical, Israeli passport, free to move about, have reps in the Kineset (congress) and an 'option' to serve in the IDF, whereas Jewish kids were mandated. In addition to their own citizenry Israel is the largest employer of Palestinians at a comparable wage mind you. Israel supplies the water and electricity to the West Bank and Gaza. Israeli Arabs are not happy with the random searches by the IDF and police. Sorry, Jews are not blowing up Jews.



If this were the other way (80% Arabs) the Jewish infidels  would be marched to the sea. This is an ugly but truthful fact.

NBC News Pulls Veteran Reporter from Gaza After Witnessing Israeli Attack on Children

Ayman Mohyeldin reports from Gaza City on killing of four Palestinian boys by Israel (credit: NBC News)

(updated below [Fri])

Ayman Mohyeldin, the NBC News correspondent who personally witnessed yesterday’s killing by Israel of four Palestinian boys on a Gazan beach (http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/middle-east-unrest/innocent-gone-israeli-strike-gaza-kills-four-children-n157301) and who has received widespread praise (http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/tv/z-on-tv-blog/bal-tv-reporters-gaza-israel-warfare-20140716,0,5445863.story) for his brave and innovative coverage of the conflict, has been told by NBC executives to leave Gaza immediately. According to an NBC source upset at his treatment, the executives claimed the decision was motivated by “security concerns” as Israel prepares a ground invasion, a claim repeated to me by an NBC executive. But late yesterday, NBC sent another correspondent, Richard Engel, along with an American producer who has never been to Gaza and speaks no Arabic, into Gaza to cover the ongoing Israeli assault (both Mohyeldin and Engel speak Arabic).

Mohyeldin is an Egyptian-American with extensive experience reporting on that region. He has covered dozens of major Middle East events in the last decade for CNN, NBC and Al Jazeera English, where his reporting on the 2008 Israeli assault on Gaza (http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2008/12/200812279451509662.html) made him a star of the network. (http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/22/al-jazeera-star-correspondent-rejoins-nbc/) NBC aggressively pursued him (http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/22/al-jazeera-star-correspondent-rejoins-nbc/) to leave Al Jazeera, paying him far more than the standard salary for its on-air correspondents.

Yesterday, Mohyeldin witnessed and then reported on (http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/middle-east-unrest/innocent-gone-israeli-strike-gaza-kills-four-children-n157301) the brutal killing by Israeli gunboats of four young boys as they played soccer on a beach in Gaza City. He was instrumental, both in social media and on the air, in conveying to the world the visceral horror of the attack.

Mohyeldin recounted how, moments before their death, he was kicking a soccer ball with the four boys, (https://twitter.com/AymanM/status/489418774039105537) who were between the ages of 9 and 11 and all from the same family. He posted numerous chilling details (https://twitter.com/AymanM/status/489418774039105537) on his Twitter (https://twitter.com/AymanM/status/489513421054803968) and Instagram accounts, (http://instagram.com/p/qhqy6eHEEJ/) including the victims’ names and ages, (https://twitter.com/AymanM/status/489426493949243392) photographs he took of their anguished parents, (https://twitter.com/AymanM/status/489513421054803968) and video of one of their mothers as she learned about the death of her young son. (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10154324412900004&set=vb.617260003&type=2&theater) He interviewed one of the wounded boys at the hospital shortly before being operated on. He then appeared on MSNBC’s All In with Chris Hayes, where he dramatically recounted what he saw. (http://www.msnbc.com/all-in-with-chris-hayes/watch/four-boys-killed-on-gaza-beach-306364483898)

Despite this powerful first-hand reporting – or perhaps because of it – Mohyeldin was nowhere to be seen on last night’s NBC Nightly News broadcast with Brian Williams. Instead, as Media Bistro’s Jordan Chariton noted, NBC curiously had Richard Engel – who was in Tel Aviv, and had just arrived there an hour or so earlier – “report” on the attack. Charlton wrote that “the decision to have Engel report the story for ‘Nightly’ instead of Mohyeldin angered some NBC News staffers.”

Indeed, numerous NBC employees, including some of the network’s highest-profile stars, were at first confused and then indignant over the use of Engel rather than Mohyeldin to report the story. But what they did not know, and what has not been reported until now, is that Mohyeldin was removed completely from reporting on Gaza by a top NBC executive, David Verdi, who ordered Mohyeldin to leave Gaza immediately.

Over the last two weeks, Mohyeldin’s reporting has been far more balanced and even-handed than the standard pro-Israel coverage that dominates establishment American press coverage; his reports have provided context to the conflict that is missing from most American reports and he avoids adopting Israeli government talking points as truth. As a result, neocon and “pro-Israel” websites have repeatedly attacked him as a “Hamas spokesman” and spouting “pro-Hamas rants.”

Last week, as he passed over the border from Israel, he said while reporting that “you can understand why some human rights organizations call Gaza ‘the world’s largest outdoor prison,’”; he added: “One of the major complaints and frustrations among many people is that this is a form of collective punishment. You have 1.7 million people in this territory, now being bombarded, with really no way out.”

Gazans may have no way out of Gaza, but at this point, Mohyeldin seems to have no way back in. After several requests, NBC executives have not yet provided any on-the-record statements; they will be added if provided.

Andrew Fishman contributed reporting to this story.

UPDATE [Fri]: The New York Times’ television reporter just reported on Twitter that NBC has “reversed its decision” and is now sending Mohyeldin back to Gaza as soon as possible:

NBC’s statement states: “As with any news team in conflict zones, deployments are constantly reassessed. We’ve carefully considered our deployment decisions and we will be sending Mohyeldin back to Gaza over the weekend.” About that, CNN’s media reporter Brian Stelter tweeted: “My read of NBC’s statement: an about-face that comes close to saying ‘we made a mistake.’” Much more about this on @CNNReliable on Sunday.)” Meanwhile, Mohyeldin himself tweeted the following:
