It always seemed obvious to me that the US pretty much HAS to support Israel in anything they do, they helped create Israel and have a responsibility to take sides of Israeli interest, which unfortunately for Palestine due to their violence has ended up with the US/Israel heavily backed against Palestine. They pretty much shot themselves in the foot because of ignorant religious leaders clamoring for violent action. Hamas are fracking animals, much of this shit can be laid at their feet because of their indiscreet killings towarRAB any non-Islamic peoples has tarnished law abiding Palestinians. I have to say as much as people sympathize with Palestine, most of what first comes to mind when they think of it is Hamas bus borabings. Granted, Israeli retaliation has always been 10x that of anything committed by Hamas because theyre fracking given all the gear they have from the US, but its always over-looked because most people see Palestine as Islamic terrorists.
