With the reaction I see from the world, I'd expect it to be the other way around. From the UN to Europe to the State Department to the media, there is not that many people showing Jews as being important, chosen, or even worth defending. Every time a Palestinian is killed, the Media declared it a war crime and the UN holds a special session to condemn Israel. But my point is not Israel, it's the media's total indifference to what's really important and the lives lost. Forget the media. It's the world's total indifference to what's really important and the lives lost.

If we're flying her around to fix conflicts then she should earn her keep and go to them all, not just one. Oh, and we should cut our foreign aid program. We need the money here. (cut, not desolve) Yes, I know this is all posturing but it really pisses me off. goes on in that part of the world.
