the dietary needs for the population of Gaza are chillingly calculated, and the amounts of food let in by the Israeli government measured to remain just enough to keep the population alive at a near-starvation level. This documents the statement made by a number of Israeli officials that they are 'putting the people of Gaza on a diet'.

Stay classy, Israel!

I seriously can't understand how Americans get all hot and bothered about lining up and supporting Israel.  They're a goddamn bully.  We get pissed off at North Korea for being a bully.  We get pissed off at Iran for being a bully.  We scold Russia when they bully Georgians.  But goddamn, Israel gets carte blanche to treat Palestinians like dirt. 

Oh yeah, that's right, the Palestinians are a little too brown.  What was I thinking?

So this would be a bad thread to announce the release of my Gaza Diet Video: Bringing You Back to a Slim Figure in Seven Easy Steps and by Embargoing Your House?

It's also a bit of the "we need a solidly pro-American ally in this region" and "They're Jews!"

The latter one boils down into two camps:
a) Nazis did bad shit to them so they need to have their own country at any costs.
b) God won't destroy the world with fiery wrath and plaguey pestilence unless the Chosen People go back to the Holy Land. Since there's an increase in fiery wrath since they got there, it's a sign that it is working and Jesus will soon come and show us he loves us with his laser cannon and genetically engineered scorpion-locust hybrids.

Aren't the Israeli pretty much just as brown as the Palestinians, though? I mean, thanks to their crazy laws as to who is Jewish or not (none of that "your mom has to be Jewish, period." like in the rest of the world), I suppose the majority aren't white?

HA HA!  *not surprised*

I fucking hate Israel and I'm glad it's finally gotten to the point where I can say that in progressive company without it being automatically assumed that I'm an antisemitic baby-eating Nazi.

Every Israeli I have met is lily-white. They are Hitler's fucking wet dream. Tall, beautiful, healthy white people in a racist nation that oppresses the surrounding brown folks. I am not sure what the selection process was for the Israeli population, but it seems to have been pretty radically biased toward whiteness, health, and beauty.

They also tend to have an arrogance that makes Americans look humble and self-effacing.

I do have Israeli friends, and this is not an indictment of the people there, but the government is a fucked-up piece of shit, and the very concept is wrong wrong wrong. "Oh hey, you guys are being oppressed over here? Well, how about move you over there and you can do the same thing to the people who already live there?"

By the way, I highly suggest NOT google image searching "israeli". I was going to find some pictures to illustrate their overwhelming whiteness, but what I saw was badwrongbad.

You also seem to make a distinction between Israel, which is an oppressive state, and Jews, who are a people that may or may not have anything to do with Israel.
