This whole Israel-Palestinian thing has been confusing for me, and I havent had a whole lot of time to sit down and figure out some things about that.
I was reading this column just now, which talks about this subject...
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2004-03...diplomacy_x.htm
And I read this part: "The U.S. response seemed to shift as the day went on. Early on, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice offered support for Israel's action. "Let's remember that Hamas is a terrorist organization and that Sheik Yassin has himself personally, we believe, been involved in terrorist planning," Rice told NBC's Today show. Backing for Israel and its policies is strong within the evangelical Christian community, which makes up a potent portion of President Bush's Republican political base."
Can someone tell me why the hell the evangelists support Israel? This is a serious question. It troubles me deeply that those people over there hate us even more now that Israel did that to Yassin, and it seems to me that we should be distancing ourselves from Israel.
But maybe someone can give me a damn good reason why the US should continue to support Israel...
