Every nation has a right to defend itself...unless that nation is Israel. Then, these people expect them to just keep turning the other cheek.

Funny, Obama and the rest of them called Afghanistan a Just War, which we launched in response to 9/11. So American can go to Afghanistan, half way around the world and fuck them up, but Israel needs to just keep absorbing the rockets.
