    The U.S. is focusing on removing a very evil regime from the face of the earth - Iran. Now, whether or not we remove them from existence, remains to be seen. The United States has plenty of interest in what is "good and healthy". Problem is that the Left and the Right cannot agree as to the implementation for said "good and healthy". We subsidize our farmers the best we can, but again, that is $$$$, and no one likes to spend $$$$ on bad crops - no return on investment. It sucks, but that is life.

    If that happens, the world might not be as friendly to the US as they currently are. Enough is enough; sooner or later you run out of enemies and point to the Netherlands as "evil".

    Because it is not in their interest; they serve their extremes and ideals, not the good of the nation. It's all just a lot of shouting and finger-pointing. Lets look at the coming generation of Americans; Seeing the AOC-kid, is that really what you want for a future? Someone who can't nail together six planks in two months?

    Priorities. At the moment, the top priority is the army, not the food. You don't invest in bad crops, that's why the Dutch will happily sell you some good crops - regardless of our weather, since we grow a lot in greenhouses.

      Well you want to shoot the winner so you must be a right wing gun nut. So you cannot be the objective bystander. You also define your position as middle of the road which places you firmly on the left. So you clearly cannot be a dispassionate neutral party! Inconceivable!!

            I don't know whose quote is, but I like it a lot.

            Quote:

            the left and the right are so busy fighting to see who is better, that have forgotten how to be just good people

            M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                    It doesn't, but they do, you'll see it in plenty of other articles. Even look at Ilhan Omar; fawned over by the left, celebrated....protected. Moments into office she is making antisemitic comments, tax "irregularities", issues around how legal her "husband" is and if they defrauded the immigration system. Yet they all rally around her, and anyone who criticises is, of course, just racist.

                        No idea. He ignored my questions too.

                                    WTF? So just from what you posted, I am supposed to infer all that? :) Yes, the left has its head up its arse over Islam, it loves it, oddly, despite the fact it is so fascist, and hates Israel because it is so pro US probably, despite the fact it resulted from the destruction of fascism.

                                      He got it - I made presumptions about the ability of the readers to use the item in the context of the malignant hypocrisy: Groups that support all of these causes human rights which are so spit-upon by the Arab/Islamic world show nothing for disdain for the only country in the region (Israel) that has these rights for all. I didn't see the need to spell out the obvious. You know - connect the dots and all that.

                                      Except the Palestinians, obviously... Palestinians are people too.

                                        That's the pure bullshit you hear from palestinian leadership through there proxies. The rights of palestinians are suppressed first and foremost by their leadership. That's the same leadership that feeds it's face quite well while their youth go unemployed and never run out of power when the lights go out. That's the same leadership that considers it's people, especially woman and children, as human-shields (at best) and general cannon fodder. The leadership that assures a failure of peace by teaching their children (in school and via textbooks) to hate Israelis, Jews, and non-muslims in general. And murder's OK. The leadership that refused a offer for 98% of their proposed state, even a piece of Jerusalem. Ask Abas why he oppresses the Gazans, attempting to get their submission to PA rule - withholding the money to pay their bills (like electrical power) . . . better check his overseas accounts. The oppression? Ask your friends in Hamas why the concrete was used for tunnels to attack civilians instead of repairing buildings? And why schools and hospitals are good places to store and shoot missiles. Speak up against it? Be dragged into the streets and executed as a spy. The leadership that, if you dared to think of it, only lives in it's opulence by keeping their people in misery. A common scenario. If there was peace - their influence would cease and thus their privileged status. The leadership you believe because you really want to believe -

                                          This article is clearly not from an unbiased source, yet, nevertheless, may point out some of the realities that are ignored: There Won’t Be Peace Until the Palestinians Accept Israel | Jewish & Israel News Algemeiner.com[^] I left the title visible - nothing to hide, here. If you'd like to add an interesting historical note to arab behavior in that local, check out the Hebron Massacre[^] - and that doesn't even include the others (1517, 1834, as well as that in the link 1929). And there were others. Point being? The rumors->riots->killing of Jews really has nothing to do with the State of Israel . . . it's just what they do. And still do.
