text: explain the us's continued defiance of global opinion with yet another veto of a un resolution against israel. the us vetoed yet another un resolution chastising israel for attacks on gaza. i understand supporting our allies, but can anyone rationally explain to me why we continue to defy world opinion and justify israeli attacks, when we would support and initiate the same condemnation if perpetrated by other nations? you know, a year ago i would have argued this with you. today i can't. i don't have a problem with the us coming to the defense of israel. they have a right to exist and noone can deny that the land they are on was theirs over 2000 years ago.  i do have a problem with israel today though. israel has taken the good will of the american people *and* the american government and used it to contribute to the anarchy we are seeing today. i just don't see how their behavior over the last couple of years is justified. i am in no way shape or form supportive of hezbollah or hamas but israel is stirring the pot and it is the united states that is going to pay the ultimate price. as a matter of fact, we already are.   i also have little to no faith in the united nations. they have proven themselves to be spineless jerks and don't even come close to honoring the charter set forth by the united nations years ago.   somebody somewhere needs to tell israel enough is enough. they have the right to exist and we will help insure that right but the israel of today really is no better than the organizations they are fighting against. you can not achieve peace by repeatedly killing innocent civilians. i don't give a hoot if it is in self-defense or not. it is clear israel is incapable of controlling their own military.  i am tired of it.
