The alliance between our governments is unbreakable, yet the source of our friendship runs deeper than any treaty. It is grounded in the shared spirit of our people, the bonds of the Book, the ties of the soul.
...
I have touched the Western Wall, seen the sun reflected in the Sea of Galilee, I have prayed at Yad Vashem. And earlier today, I visited Masada, an inspiring monument to courage and sacrifice. At this historic site, Israeli soldiers swear an oath: "Masada shall never fall again." Citizens of Israel: Masada shall never fall again, and America will be at your side.

You alleged Israel did'nt help the USA during their invasions in to Iraq and Afghanistan; if you say so!

And you have the audacity to come in here and deem yourself a good Christian?
You and the UN did'nt push the European Jews in to Israel; they were already immigrating there during and after WW2 because your forefathers sat on your arses and did nothing while Nazi Germany was rounding up the Jews and forcing them at gunpoint in to Nazi Concentration Camps.
The right thing was to invite them in to your nations? Ship loads of starving Jewish refugees were turned back from your nations, your country REFUSED to allow them to dock! So tell me, where else where they expected to go? Would you prefered they all drowned out at sea? Many of them did thanks to your lot!

Whoa, hate filled rhetoric much?
You want tolerance and respect, are you prepared to extend that to others?

The country of France was not founded by displacing an entire population living there for generations.
"France" is not brutalizing the population of the people who were living there for generations before the "french" showed up.

Palestine was never an official country to begin with and the Balfour Declaration gave a certain amount of land to the expatrioted jews living in europe and throughout the world, along with the jews residing in the area loosely known as palestine, the nation of Israel.
I guess when your desperate to find a scapegoat to blame all the world's ill on then you can put it all on zionism. As though people understand what zionism is to begin with. They don't even understand their own history and how their nations came to exist.
We still live in the dark ages with great evil in the works, except its underground and thus difficult to detect. Someone is pulling the strings and its not the jews. Look harder and you may find!

What makes you think that Arabs need to pay for European crimes against Jews in Europe?

I am not blaming "all the worlds ills" on zionism... just the ills that the palestinian people are going through.
Zionism can be anything it wants, as long as its not wronging another people.
I don't view it that way but european colonialism the last three centuries has changed geopolitical affairs throughout the world. The arabs are not paying a special price for anyone but at the same time that does not entitle them to a monopoly of land in the middle east.
Israel or palestine(which ever you prefer) should belong to christians, jews and muslims, especially the city of jerusalem which reflects a multicultural attitude.
I don't mean to deflect substance from what you are saying but why is everyone so sensitive to the suffering of the palestinians and not equally sensitive to the suffering of the natives of both south and north america from the european colonialists?
In other words what is so special about the palestinians that I have to lose sleep over? The palestinians suffer somewhat but so do jews, blacks, native americans, irish in northern ireland, turks in cyprus, hindus in sri lanka, muslims in kashmir, etc
Should we focus ONLY ON ISRAEL and why???? I apologise in advance if you are a palestinian but I suspect many people like to criticise israel because they have nothing else to worry about. Its popular to route for the underdog eventhough muslims like to kill americans and europeans every chance they get....sometimes for good reasons though...but israel is NOT one of them!
