Why I'm a Conservative (part 4 in a sporadic series)

Support for Israel. I do. Hmmm. A stable (and US-friendly) democracy doing its best to survive surrounded by people who want to annilihate them, whose citizens live with the ever-present fear that today might be the day they'll be blown up while shopping for bread by some bonehead who thinks he's doing "God's work." Yep, Israel has my sympathy, for sure.

The Palestinians - oppressive "society" which brutally kills anyone who is even suspected of "collaborating" with Israel, whose leader talks enthusiastically about wanting to be a suicide bomber, yet never makes good on that promise (yeh, he leaves it to the 15-year-olds), who also hides stolen money in Swiss bank accounts, whose people teach Israel-hate in schools, whose moms raise their children to view suicide bombing as the preferred (if short-lived) career choice. I truly don't understand how anyone can be sympathetic to these barbarians. Actually if there are a few peace-friendly-yet-afraid-for-their lives Palestinians, I have some sympathy for them. The rest of them, buggers!

And that is all I have to say on that (yeh, fat chance)!
