When you have 50,000 people marching on Washington for Palestinians, the first time in this writer's 60+ year memory, and 2 parties proudly campaigning for Nazi Israel, the Democrat-Republicans, you have a government that cannot and will not represent us. We are voters at these marches for Palestinians across the country and it is put up or shut up time for the Democrat-Republicans. That is why you have to vote socialist or Green wherever you are. You will not get any representation from the Democrat-Republicans anywhere in the US at any level of office if you support the Palestinians, and that has been the case for 66 years, since Israel's infamous inception, kicking 750,000 people off their land and massacring those who refused to leave. It is an insult to claim you oppose terror and Israel's latest massacre, as one Congressional representative has done. The Palestinians are engaged in resistance with very feeble weapons; Israel is the 4th largest military power in the world, aided by the first US military power in the world, Nazi USA. The biggest terrorist in the world is Nazi USA. Israel, as an occupying power, has NO right to self-defense. It has a duty to protect all civilians in the occupied area from harm, not massacre them.

"Israel is the 4th largest military power in the world"

DUH! Not even the fourth largest nuclear armed military power. A little common sense please, the total population of Israel is small. Have you forgotten these countries?

US
Russia
China
India
Pakistan
Great Britain
France
......... (all the above have nuclear weapons)

As a matter of fact, Israel didn't win the '67 and '73 wars because it had a larger military than Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in '67 or Egypt and Syria in '73.

But please, don't believe me. There are plenty of standard military references in which you can look up the sizes of the standing armies, number of tanks, naval vessels, fighting aircraft, etc.

The "standing army" of Israel is actually rather small (as befits a country with a population of only a few million). They can however mobilize their "reserve forces" very quickly.

THINK before you post. If unsure, if something doesn't seem to make sense, look things up. The problem with including stuff that is utter nonsense in attacks on what Israel is doing is that it calls into question the rest of what you are saying.
