It is possible to be pro-Israel and deeply against what is occurring.

Do or do not, there is no try.

except Israel takes "pro-Israel" to mean they can do as they like with a steady green light. Who speaks up for Gazans?

Kill, take a break, and resume the killing.

Fact Number one: Israel is losing this war

900 Palestinians dead, thousands wounded and dying from their wounds due to lack of medical supplies. Israel has committed war crimes. You just don't bomb Ambulances. depraved of all humanity.

How many Israelis were killed over the last ten years from homemade rockets from people under seige. When you blockade a people from the basics- food and medicine - that's a declaration of war.

Fact Number two:This Israel war in Gaza is over the natural gas off the Gazan coast. Has absolutely nothing to do with rockets. Nothing. Hamas stands in the way.

That link is one of several articles on the subject...during the past four years.

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

"You just don't bomb Ambulances."

Why not? So far Israel has always gotten away with bombing ambulances. There is even video of them bombing ambulances in Lebanon, and no one serious called them on it. And the U.S. bombed and shot the crap out of ambulances in Iraq, and no one serious called them on it.

"How many Israelis were killed over the last ten years from homemade rockets from people under seige."

Don't remember the exact number, but I believe it was fewer than ten.

"When you blockade a people from the basics- food and medicine - that's a declaration of war."

If you want to get sick to your stomach listen to what Lanny Davis, former Bill Clinton special counsel has to say about the blockade. I have never ever seen anyone who can lie with absolute conviction the way these Zionists can, and they have absolutely no compunction or shame about it. That is one reason Israel's propaganda has been so effective.

PS Lanny Davis' remarks are on today's Democracy Now.

Oh - and he is debating against an Israeli professor who lives in Beersheba, within range of the rockets, and who has been living in a shelter with his kids for the last three or four weeks.

The irony is stunning. Good American Zionist boy Lanny Davis lying his teeth out of his mouth to try to whitewash Israel's atrocities, and an Israel who is in the line of fire opposing him.

to show two columns .. the names of Israeli civilians who have died in this extended conflict, and the names of Palestinian civilians who have died in it.

only if you actually denounce the government and what is occurring.

its like you could be pro germany and against the holocaust but it would help if you actually came out against hitler and his policies.

If they denounced what is occurring, why would they show up at a pro-Israel rally? I sure as hell would not show up a pro-somebody rally in order to denounce their current actions, and I don't know anyone who would.
