Comments:International community marks the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People

Why must the U.S support Israel?

We are literally the only country in the UN (aside from Israel) who supports Israeli apartheid, why must we? All major middle east groups including Palestine, Hamas, the PLO and Iran have pleaded for a two state settlement now for decades, but the Israeli response is either to make unreasonable demands to what they think peace settlement should be, or simply to punish the Palestinians. Right now the 1.5 million Palestenians living in Gaza live in a hell so horrible it is hard to describe. Sociologists studying the kids have found that most of them have lost the will to live, that's disgusting. The answer to this conflict is very simple, have the U.S stop supporting Israel, then Israel would be forced to ask for peace, and they would get it within a minute.Soapy (talk) 05:02, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
