The level of disinformation in this article is mind-boggling. While condemning the MSM you are using the same deceptive tactics they deploy. Some things are in too plain sight to cover up. Anybody with a clear and open mind sees Israel for what it truly is, a supremacist apartheid state. You single out the tragic murder of this beautiful young Israeli lady after one of the deadliest days of the conflict. 60+ Palestinians were slaughtered, among them 7 kids under 18 - NONE Israeli casualties!!! This being a continuation of the longest military occupation in modern history, with the blockade on Gaza going on for 10 years and counting, rendering it an open prison camp. You don't think religious extremism may foster in an environment where families are cut off of water supply, cement and other indispensable resources? Where IDF soldiers cheer while shooting unarmed Palestinians? This is all in the open for anybody to see. Palestinian violence is in retaliation of Zionist apartheid laws and illegal occupation of their land. The girl in the picture above would still be alive if her parents hadn't moved her to an Israeli settlement that was built on illegally occupied land that belongs to Palestine. The UN has issued countless resolutions concerning Israel's violations of international law, but the US conveniently block them each and every time. While Palestinians fight for their natural right to return to their native home land with rocks and sticks, Israeli Occupation Forces use live ammunition, tear gas and drone bombs which have killed, maimed and injured thousands of Palestinian civilians. The numbers of Palestinian and Israeli casualties speak for themselves:

And make no mistake about it, the Israelis are not even hiding the fact that they revel in murdering unarmed Palestinians:

Yet you seriously try to paint Israel as the victim even though it's clear to any sane person that it is a terrorist state who will take no prisoners in their quest to expand its territories. Israel has no regard for international law, as any totalitarian state, including Saudi Arabia and the US. It comes as no surprise that Israel and Saudi Arabia are the US' biggest allies in the Middle East, for no one bears more responsibility for the bloodshed and chaos that have devoured the region for decades. I can hardly fathom the sheer level of ignorance displayed here by one @janton who claims to be a Christian no less. Brother, if you really follow the teachings of Christ you would seek the truth as it will set you free. Your statement that " Israel has done more to help mankind and the rest of the world than anyone besides America and yet she is condemned for defending herself and why we give millions every year to the Palestinians is beyond my comprehension" has me in complete and utter disbelief. However I believe in the goodness of your heart and that's why I'm taking the time to help you see clearly what you claim is "beyond your comprehension". I might even write an entire article about it, that's how much this blog has inspired me with its distortion of the facts.

The most important step is that you stop being wrapped up in the flag. The notion that the US is anything else than the successor of the British empire is ridiculous and only held by brainwashed Hollywood consumerists. Americans are no more God's chosen people than the Israelis. Even if they were that wouldn't give them the right to spread terror and mayhem across the globe. The US constitution used to be a shining example of a great understanding of morality and justice, but has been violated so flagrantly to the point that it's not any more valuable than toilet paper. A good start to educate yourself about US imperialism is this three-part series on post 9/11 foreign interventions:

Note that this is only the most recent history. The US has been at war 225 out of her 242 years of existence - that equates 93% of the time. This statistic is outdone by - you guessed it - Israel, who's been wreaking havoc even prior to her existence.

You also mentioned US foreign aid, complaining about the US giving millions to Palestine. Let's put that in context a little bit. US aid to Palestine is $260 million each year, while US military aid to Israel alone is $10 million each day:

@contextualize: Some leaders do openly state what they want, I'll give you that:
