   Because you won't reign in the terrorists, because you elect terrorists to   
   your government, and   
   because you continue to support terrorists.

   Just because you don't care about the lives of your terrorists doesn't mean we   
   don't care the lives   
   of our soldiers, dumbass.  If you can't see that, that's your stupid problem.

   You're the enemy.  You're scum.   You will be defeated, humiliated, and driven

   Israel so the land can be returned to it's rightful owners.

   YOU are the underdog.  It's about time you started acting like one, but you   
   just don't seem to get   
   it, so Israel will have to continue to spank you until you learn to behave.

   Um, you have it TOTALLY backwards, as is typical for pallie terrorists.   
      
   > Israel's unilateral movements of the past year will not lead to peace.   
      
   pallie terrorism and pallie support of the terrorists will not lead to peace.

   Wrong.  They directly address the threat of pallie terrorism.

   Um, the suffering of the pallies is attributed to pallie corruption,   
   terrorism, and plain laziness.

   The separation barrier stops the terrorists, jackass.  Why do you keep   
   forgetting that?

   Nope, not weary at all.  In fact, we continue to INCREASE our aid to Israel.    
   The only thing that   
   bothers us is our government's reluctance to approve even larger increases.
