Last year, when thousands of Americans were in peril from Hurricane Katrina, the government ignored warnings of disaster. As the Superdome filled with refugees and people were going with out food, medicine and were dying, there was no impetus to do anything. However, with Israel running low on munitions to blow the shit out of Lebanon,
the US speeds arms deliveries to Isreal.What makes one country more important to our politicians than it's own citizens?

On July 16, President Bush
rejected Jacques Chirac's call for an immediate ceasefire on the behalf of both parties. Last week, he said he was going to give Israel a week, and now
they get another week.We killed any measure in the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire, even as civilians are being killed because our embarassing ambassador says
Lebanon civilian deaths are not the same as terror deaths. (A sentiment echoed by
Alan Dershowitz) Why does our government stand aside and allow the destruction of the Lebanese infrastructure?

Our invasion of Iraq was predicated on the notion that Saddam Hussein had dangerous WMD and wasn't afraid to unleash them. That was the major reason we were told it was time for regime change in Baghdad. Now we have claims coming from Beirut that
Israel is using banned weapons against civilians, and yet there is no outcry from our government, who probably provided Israel (like we provided Iraq) with these dangerous weapons in the first place. Why do we provide dangerous WMD to countries that would use them?

In America, we have freedom of speech. We can criticize bad movies, our government and even celebrities. We can criticize politicians and parties. Our freedom of religion allows even to criticize Christianity and Islam, however, even though
Zionism is contrary to Judaic teachings, to criticize the Zionist state of Israel gets you labeled an anti-semite. In fact, such great Americans such as
Henry Ford and
Charles Lindbergh are labeled as anti-semites for daring to use their position to speak out against Zionism.
So now, when one speaks out against Zionism, (which is not part of the Judaic tradition), they are immediately labeled as "Jew-Haters", or "anti-Semites". Even though
The religious Jews who by virtue of their faith, clearly contradicted Zionist nationalism, we find the Zionists hiding behind the religious tradition they have rejected.
The US is supposed to be a representative government. We elect people to go to the Capitol and work in our best interests. However, when another foreign government controls who we vote for, and where are tax dollars are spent, we become less free. When said government's policies endanger the lives of Americans, to the point where we must give up some of our freedoms in our own country, something is wrong. When the
rest of the world condemns these actions we condone, one has to wonder, is this the right thing? And why are we continuing to allow this?

Oh, yeah. That's why.
