Israel Naval Ship 'Bombs Palestinian Children on Gaza Beach,' Killing Four

[Swede Atlanta]

13. Time for the U.S. to exit this hell hole......

I want to stop any U.S. financial or any other type of support (including intelligence sharing) to both sides. If they want to kill one another then so be it. If they want to find a way to peacefully co-exist I am all for it.

But the time has come for the U.S. to walk away. This is not our fight. We are not, or should not be Israel's paymaster. They have resources to defend themselves. They should use them. And when they run out of bullets they should finance or find other means of defending themselves.

The Palestinians have an equal right to a homeland. The west felt sorry for the Jews after the holocaust and agreed to give them a homeland which pushed Palestinians off of land they had been farming or tending for hundreds of years. This is not unlike the U.S. treatment of the native peoples.

I understand the frustration of both sides. But our involvement isn't going to solve this. The two sides should be left alone to kill one another off (not my preferred solution) or to resolve their differences.

I do not want any more of my tax money going to fund Israel's killing of Palestinians or aid that ends up in the hands of Hamas militants. I want that money going to feed and care for our poor and our veterans, rebuild our highways and bridges, provide health care for our people, invest in education, etc.
