There is a BILLION dollar stockpile of US weapons in Israel

U.S. Has Sold Ammunition to Israel Since Start of Gaza Conflict
In the last week the U.S. has provided Israel with tank rounds and illumination rounds for grenade launchers requested as part of a foreign military arms sale. The weapons came from a $1 billion stockpile of ammunition stored by the U.S. military in Israel for that country’s use if needed for an emergency.

A BILLION dollar stockpile of US weapons in Israel? Gaza is going to be nothing more than a hole in the ground.

Meghan McCain: No more Sarah Palin
Meghan McCain won’t be tuning into the Sarah Palin Channel any time soon.
“I am not going to subscribe to Sarah Palin’s $9.95 per month,” McCain said on Monday during her Pivot show TakePart Live. “I got all the Sarah Palin I need for one lifetime.”..After browsing the channel’s website, McCain was less than impressed.

The Atomic Scientists Opinion Of The Iron Dome
Back in 2012, Israel’s Iron Dome rocket defense system was hailed as a real, working battlefield weapon that could shoot down unguided rockets before they struck Israel. Iron Dome was lauded as a game changer in the Israel-Palestine conflict; at the time, Israel claimed that it shot down 441 Hamas rockets in flight, before they could do serious damage.

Email

Lisa,
Come on, Israel has a right to defend itself. You slant towards Hamas in your recent posts. They are animals using civilians as shields.
I’m disappointed in you.
NYC Al

Al, I totally agree with most of what you wrote except, I am pro Israel and pro unoccupied Palestine.

What other choice does Israel have, to sit there under the Iron Dome and hope for the best? Of course they must defend themselves. I just feel it is overkill, they're shooting fish in a barrel. The Palestinians have no where to go, they're trapped. Then Hamas uses the overkill to justify their hatred of Israel by using their own people as shields. It has been a six decade circle of violence with different faces and names but the same results.

Imagine a woman from the South in the U.S. being in that Hamas situation, she’d probably say, “Bubba have you lost your ever lovin’ mind, you cannot put that rocket launcher in the barn. Get your sorry ass up and move that thing to the back forty.”

All kidding aside, occupying a country has a lousy historical track record. So does that 3000 year old advice of an eye for an eye.

I think of Northern Ireland in this case. For hundreds of years, the Irish were under the Brit’s thumb, they were their n-word. I watched that bloody conflict since the 1960s and finally saw Bill Clinton address their problem by bringing the hearts and minds of people together, by having them begin respecting one another.

Maybe Aretha Franklin was right all along.
