Part of the US cleaning up it's own act would come with re-allocating its budget spent on making Israel the world's most terrifying war machine.
I agree. That is what I meant by the last paragraph of my post.

Both Rihanna and Howard tweeted #FreePalestine.
The consequences?
Rihanna was forced to delete her tweet
Howard is getting all kind of drama from the Zionist mafia.
To the rogue, terrorist state, everyone has to support them and believe that they are the victims. Believing otherwise, you will be labeled as anti-semite.

Meh, as if Hamas were a bunch of innocents. There's enough shittery on both sides, Israel just happens to have a functioning military, that's why they seem morally inferior.
In reality, both parties suck at peace.

Re: So we're just gonna ignore what's happening in Gaza right now?
Rihanna and Dwight Howard tweeted #FreePalestine and it worked out how you would expect
So a popular performer you might know named Rihanna tweeted this:
#FreePalestine
At least count, it had 6.9 thousand retweets. That's before the singer, naturally enough, deleted it.
It's not exactly a secret that the Israel-Palestine conflict is controversial, and tweeting #FreePalestine wades right into it. She presumably meant to express solidarity with Palestinians, many of whom in Gaza have been enduring a week of Israeli airstrikes that are targeting the Palestinian militant group Hamas but that the UN says have killed dozens of civilians as well. A two-word hashtag does not allow for an awful lot of nuance, though. For an artist as mainstream as Rihanna, wading into a conflict this contentious and complicated was bound to upset some people.
She's been burned on this topic before. At a 2013 show in Tel Aviv, some reporters in the audience thought she sang "all I see is Palestine" in place of "all I see is dollar signs" in the song "Pour it Up." The apparent implication was that all of the land there — currently Israel — is rightfully Palestinian. Not exactly something an Israeli crowd wants to hear, but it's also not what she actually said. The brief media firestorm before people realized she'd been misheard (someone found a recording) may help explain why Rihanna deleted her #FreePalestine tweet so hastily.
She's not even the only celebrity to get in trouble for tweeting #FreePalestine since the latest round of violence began. Dwight Howard, Houston Rockets center and one of the most famous players in the NBA, was asked by a fan what he thought:

No one is arguing for Hamas or any party but when the death tolls stand at
Israel: 0
Palestine: 200 and rising with 50 being children and two being disabled women you have to ask why that is and if the means really justify the end?
And what exactly is the end?
Of course the Israelis, being in control, are the ones under more scrutiny, as well they should be.

Amen.
Terrible from Israel to bomb civilized areas yet terrible from Hamas to launch rockets from civilized area's to begin with.

On what terms should Saudi and other middle eastern countries who arent under threat joint hands to attack Israel? its not their war.

I'll reiterate:
Death toll:
Israel - 0
Palestine - 200+ (1/4 being children)
with Israel's far superior military, the ball is entirely in their court. With their iron dome, a huge amount of Hamas-launched missiles end up doing nothing but becoming scrap metal.
Israel rejected a cease fire as well, contrary to the rumor that had spread stating Hamas had.
And this has absolutely nothing to do with Hamas as no one brought them up. I can't believe people think it's valid to still use them as an excuse when so many killed are innocent.
I guess you wouldn't understand if you didn't live under the threat of death by Israeli hands on a daily basis.

The terrorist, scum,rogue,settler state launched a specific attack that targeted 4 kids playing on the beach.
Killing all 4 of them.
They lauched one missile that missed them, then launched another that directly hit them.
And the scum evil state say they are 'targeting Hamas only'.
Where is the justice for this?
Why are there no world wide condemnation from the western media for this slaughter?
It's racism and prejudice, that's why! Palestinian blood is worthless and unimportant compared to scum blood, or American, European, etc.
200+ civilians killed so far.
This world repulses me. Real talk.

Pictures do more than words.

Those 4 innocent boys were clearly a "threat" to the scum.

But yet media chooses to say Hamas is trying to get the children killed, all i see there is children being attacked by the israelis.. Some people blame Hamas for not being able to make peace with Israel, but the peace Israel wants doesn't leave any room for Palestinians, who just want their own state which they should be fully entitled to.

I understand satire and I also understand that literally every Daily Show filming has this, but I found the crowd reaction to 'warning bombings' and practically everything else in this to be pretty weird considering how many people have died in Gaza recently.

So the guy for NBC, who Jon Stewart was making fun of (the fully decked out gear one), was the one who brought the truth forwards about what happened to the kids, while Israel was saying there was Hamas in that location.
The reporter said he was playing soccer the kids just a few mins before the strike hit them
And now to make matters worse NBC pulled him out of the Gaza and stopped him from reporting on Gaza

4 Palestinian kids killed in a single Israeli airstrike. Minutes before they were killed by our hotel, I was kicking a ball with them #gaza

American news networks are the most racist scumbag networks in the world, among the scum's networks. Blatantly enforcing their propaganda.
*bleep* all of them scum supporting POS, plus the BBC and all the red top tabloids in the UK.

Nothing new.
They talk about freedom and being the center of it and yet a singer can't defend Gaza in her twitter and they made her look like a fool.
"yeah she didn't mean to write that. she was reading something and she just posted something on her twitter that she didn't mean to"

His potential employers are all Jews. He's their lap dog. I didn't expect any different from this cowardly, uninformed c***.

It's nothing to do with that, I just don't understand what he thinks Israelis need to be "freed" from.
And Bill Maher with this fantastically ignorant and even sexist tweet:
@billmaher · 16h
Dealing w/ Hamas is like dealing w/ a crazy woman who's trying to kill u - u can only hold her wrists so long before you have to slap her
