Stop putting words in my fucking mouth! Read what i wrote.... i think that Israel is RUN by zionist right-wingers who want to remove the palestinian majority, just like my notion of the US government being run by hawkish republican right-wingers who want IRaqs oil!
By no means am i generalizing the public... wake up!

I'm not putting words in your mouth, I'm merely quoting what you are saying ... I think that you ARE generalizing. The US is not being run by Bush. The US is being run by the executive branch, the legislative branch which has ceded the exuctive branch the powers with which it now operates from, and with the will of the MAJORITY of the American people who agree with the actions taken. Not to mention that the judiciary branch is ensuring that constitutional law is not being violated. So NO the US government is NOT being run by hawkish republican right-wingers who are after Iraqis oil. Especially since you have failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that this entire conflict is ABOUT oil. I won't comment about the Israeli government since I'm not too familiar about it but I'm sure izzy or yoepus would love to comment on it.
BTW: What am I supposed to imply about a cartoon drawn by an arab?

Foxnews would have reported her as a hapless nitwit.....
Funny how O'reiley's show is called the "no spin zone."
Yes the US mass media usually does not have a problem reporting US citizen casualties of Israeli terrorism. However they do sometimes ignore them, such as during the Jenin invasion the first casualty was a woman who was shot in the head while sitting in her car with her baby in her lap, she was also a US citizen. And yes the occupation is terrorism unless of course you support it, in which case it's called defense.

First off, if you dont know much about the Israeli government, how can you say im generalizing.
I dont care about your little analysis you just posted on the intracacies of your government... im telling you my opinion about the memebers of your federal government, NOT THE POPULATION OF THE US!
And dont give me that bullshit of the government representing the majority, when that monkey in office didnt even get the MAJORITY vote!

Even though I don't know a whole lot about the Israeli government, I DO know enough about it that it isn't a government run by "Zionists" (with the negative implications you imply) who's sole goal is to remove the Palestinian presence. As much as you may want to portray the Israeli and the US government as being run by 2 or 3 "extremists" Israel has a knesset, and the US has a congress which have a controlling say in the happenings of the country. Bush didn't just get up and decide one morning to attack Iraq, he had to get congressional APPROVAL.

HE won the MAJORITY of the electoral states which is what COUNTS in this country's election process. It's an election process that was devised and approved by the people so yes according to the rules that we set up, he DOES represent the majority. And I was speaking with regards to his current actions which are representative of what the majority think in this country and is aptly reflected in the newest release of his approval ratings.
