Does some lack of support for Israel

seem to be like a show of support for Iran ?

all this whining is because israel want's the u.s. to do the attack for them.

why would they risk their troops, their equipment, their money and their citizens lives when they can get the united states to risk all that for them.

and now they're acting like spoiled kids who aren't getting their way.

obama sees this, and credit should go to him for drawing the line.

no one is stopping them. israel can go it alone if it wants to.

Israel is like a big baby. It kicks and screams and crys when it doesnt get what it wants. I just wish americas top brass could see that.

Basically saying ``you are with us or with the terrorists``... the usual BS from warmongers...

The US should stay out of it and tell Israel to do their own business. If they start a war, they gonna do it by themselves.

The world is sick of war and the world economy cannot take an attack on Iran... so if Israel strikes Iran, there needs to be arrest warrants against the Israeli government for economic terrorism.
