BDS....Boycott, Divest and Sanction Israel....Is it fair? Are we funding the Israeli war machine too strongly?

a few yrs ago i read a report by an israeli soldier who on his 1st patrol watched in horror as his fellow patroller shot & killed a young palestinian boy playing outside his house for no apparent reason. i had trouble believing it at the time but now not so sure.

Like a submarine needs a screen door!
@Archeus_Lore and @zesty; Speaking of submarines;
@zesty; You are aware that we taxpayers buy Israeli's health care, weapons, and education...to the tune of over $5 million per day, right?
"Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. To date, the United States has provided Israel $142.3 billion (current, or noninflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding. Almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance...."
@Robecology It is just military assistance, tools for self defense.
FUCK Israel . . . . [telegraph.co.uk]

Shit , no wonder we have something in common.
Bad language!
Here is some bad language for you . . . . Israeli racism . . . . Israeli apartheid . . . . people supporting Israeli racism . . . . war crimes . . . . Israeli child abusers . . . . Zionist Holocaust re-creators . . . . War-for-profit . . . THAT is fucking bad language.
@Archeus_Lore Israeli war for profit? Israelis are outnumbered hundreds to one by fanatic, cannibalistic Muslims who will do everything to drink Jewish blood. Is the most obvious case of self defense war profit?
"cannibalistic Muslims" The cannibalism I see happening is the theivery of land, all based on the claim that it was granted to the Zionists by "god" . . . . "god" told me that you have no right to your land, so I can murder you and your children or throw you into a holocaust-like-ghetto, harvest your organs, black market them for money - cannibalism for profit, cut down your olive trees, demolish your homes, and rebuild over them, all the while claiming that you are sub-human . . . Just like the NAZIS did!
shouldn't be funding Israel or Saudi Arabia! Both are disgusting war mongers

Yep;
and take a look at this; Israel might have hundreds of nuclear-tipped missiles on submarines that the U.S gave them....Here's the reason Iran wants nukes...
@Robecology without them they are a sitting duck
We fund them way too much.

Here's the specifics; and I concur 100%
"Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. To date, the United States has provided Israel $142.3 billion (current, or noninflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding. Almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance..."
...As if the occupation came right out of the blue, that this completely peaceful people found themselves occupied. Forget about the intifadas and the suicide bombings and the rockets and how many wars.
Fucking A that's stupid. Why do I get the impression Bill only knows history post 1948?
Yes we support Israel way to strongly, both financially and politically.

doesn't matter how it started. all that matters is what it does now. Israel is occupying their land in violation of international law. It is immoral to kill children, medics, journalists and bomb hospitals and schools. All are war crimes as well. Might as well say "Hitler did horrible shit to us so we are justified in doing same to others"
