Hopeless in Gaza

What is the point? What is the point of more and more civilians in Gaza and Lebanon being killed by overwhelming Israeli firepower?Is their anything they can gain by this other than simply destroying everyone that stands between them and their colonial ambitions? Outside of such aims this overwhelming violence makes no sense whatsoever. Do they really believe they can get away with this blatant genocidal land grab? Is there no force on earth that can contain Israeli greed and ambition?
Besides, of course, the U.S., which will do nothing but support anything the Israelis want? Everyone on earth with a brain larger than half a pea knows exactly what the problem is - the problem that dare not speak its name (in the U.S.). Israel continues to illegally occupy land that belongs to Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. They refuse to give up their claims on these disputed lands. As long as this is so there can never be peace in the Middle East. What is so complicataed about this? Even children understand it. Even I understand it. I would not be surprised to learn that even my cat might understand it if she could tear herself away from the excitement of doing nothing all day. Bush's interest in this crisis takes the form of a ten day vacation on his pig farm. Can you even imagine FDR, Truman, Nixon, Clinton, or any other president doing such a thing? Of course they didn't have such a wonderful vice president as Dick the Slimy to look after things in their absence (actually Bush has been absent throughout his entire presidency so what does it really matter?).

Well, anyway, Lieberloser actually lost. A good thing. Of course this paragon of Democratic loyalty is going to run as an independent so he can make sure his personal ambition takes precedence over party needs. What a great guy!
