In the aftermath of the Gaza flotilla fiasco, the air is thick with nonsense. Chief among the instant myths is that Israel has created a dilemma for President Obama.
Actually, it's the other way around.
The president's appeasement policies helped to create the incident. Israel took the bait, but the trap was set in Washington.
Weakness always begets aggression, and, like clockwork, Obama's repeated signals that he is weakening America's commitment to Israel are emboldening the Jewish state's enemies. From Syria to Iran to Lebanon, from Hezbollah to Hamas and the PLO, the wolves smell blood and are trying to gauge whether they can get close enough for the kill.
And whether the United States will stop them. That they even dare hope we won't reflects the danger of Obama's demented decisions.
"Surely he knows that DCP, The Nehor, Lamanite, and other key apologists..." -Scratch clarifying my status in apologetics "I admit it; I'm a petty, petty man." -Some Schmo
The Nehor's question was "WHY," not "whether or not."
So. . . what's the answer?
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"
The Nehor's question was "WHY," not "whether or not."

The basis' are the scriptural fulfilling of prophecy "nursing fathers and mothers" etc. as well as the simple moral obligation to preserve and defend democracy in the world.
Are we beholden to Israel to accept all actions by it as reasonably necessary to protect its security? Can we second guess? Does the Knesset run our government (... pause for unsubstantiated counter from BC about Obama's allegiance to Islamocommies ...)?

Checking all goods that enter into a "terrortory" run by Hamas and populated by a people dedicated to the destruction of Israel who regularly fire rockets and mortar shells into Israel is not reasonably necessary? I agree. It is far too little.

You're missing the point which is that Obama's policies incite violence and war against Israel.

Why do we have a simple moral obligation to preserve and defend democracy in the world?

Unto whom much is given, much is required. And I think you would also agree that we have an obligation not to endanger it either as the Obama administration is doing.

All right. First of all, America's government is not a democracy. I'll assume you know that, I guess that's just me being anal, so w/e. Do you view the American system of government as some sort of institution inspired by God, because looking through the Bible, the only kinds of government that God has set up are a theocracy, and a monarchy. While I would agree with you that the American system of government is a pretty good one, I do not believe that it is right for everyone. Why not let countries decide on their own what system of government to have, instead of the nation building America has been involved with for the century? I would say that we have enough problems with our own government that we should work on.
