Re: Maybe they don't know?
I think that we should double our aid to Israel and let the rest of the world bankrupt themselves paying off these people. For nearly 100 years, we built schools, trained their militaries, educated their leaders, built hospitals, among many other things. All we have gotten are wars, death, and destruction. We build it, they destroy it, time to stop building.

Re: Maybe they don't know?
Should we and why?
YB said he carried on working even though he knew there were civilians around "because these were our instructions. I'm just a soldier, you just carry out orders … I told the commander there were people around. The instruction was don't stop, keep working. It was not my decision, it was the officers'."
We should not double aid to a country who deliberately ran over a 23-yr-old American citizen holding nothing but a bullhorn and protesting the bulldozing of homes in Gaza.
"Just following orders" didnt work at Nuremberg and should not work in this case either. This young lady was not violent, did not threaten anyone, and did nothing wrong and was run over then backed over again by an Israeli soldier "just doing his job".
I think we should aid and support nations who share our core and intrinsic values of freedom and human rights and should not send a single dime to anyone else. At this time Israel is demonstrating a dismal regard for human rights. Rachel Corrie was from Washington and was not a poor unarmed villager from a dirt hut and we are at a minimum owed an apology.

You are correct that we should not double it. We should triple it!
Leave it to a Muslim apologist to pull out an obscure tragic incident of a left wing demonstrator getting whacked as a reason to not support Israel. Good grief.
Your sentiment is funny coming from someone who embraces a group of people and religion who have pretty much zero value for life.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Maybe they don't know?
Well now you sure cut out that part about suppporting freedom and American values and human rights didnt ya.......LOL
That left wing demonstrator was an American engaged in a peaceful demonstration and WAS standing up for human rights and died for doing it.
I would venture that this funny sentiment was (once) shared by all of us. Supporting other things gets us what we have been getting.
