Agreed, just that the double standard was too glaring to pass up.


True but then again America always has double standards, so it is little wonder. I don't think Israel or Hamas has shown any sign they care much what America or Egypt are doing trying to negotiate a peace deal, so ultimately the double standard or not doesn't matter so long as Hamas will not surrender.

Plus eh, I know ya'll don't favor Obama. Don't let the dislike of Obama or the government get in the way of recognizing it is a good thing that we are going to stand up to ISIS. Someone has to at this point.
 
Meh, I wouldn't call him a wolf. It is easy to tell where Putin stands, he is very forthright on that. If anything the way he disregards other national leaders as Hillary funny enough noticed as well is his main problem. Putin pretty much does what he wants and has a strong desire or vision of a return to a high era for his people.

I did forget one thing though, while Putin has better relations with Europe, lol, he seems to not have too much a fondness for America. Though he doesn't seem too eager for Mutually Assured Destruction so I don't think he's a mad dictator one could pun. He does have a pretty decent track record of even going out of his way to spite America though.

He is less forthright though when it comes to the way he seeks to gain and manipulate power/supporters at home and abroad. I strongly doubt that the Putin portrayed in Russian news and projected to conservatives in other countries is the real Putin.
 
Iraq Christians flee...

The Christians in Iraq have been fleeing their homes and Iraq ever since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime (if you care to research it), so nothing really new in this!
 
A quarter of Iraq's Christian population are fleeing from the largest Christian town as ISIS have stormed in overnight killing and raping those they find. Yet nothing is said at all. Where are all the people shouting Gaza, Gaza as this massacre and onslaught continues. Not one politician is standing up and next to no support or coverage until now. How long do we have to wait to intervene ?


BBC News - Iraq Christians flee as Islamic State takes Qaraqosh

There's plenty of coverage in the UK. And it isn't fair to automatically assume that those who have issues with Israel don't oppose ISIS all the same. It's not a case of picking sides; 'Muslim', 'Jew', 'Christian', not for me at least. It's a case of calling out injustice, persecution, slaughter of innocents, trying to get people to question and think, regardless of what little box everyone else puts people into.

What members of ISIS have been doing to both Muslims, Christians, and everyone else they rape, kill or torture, is inhumane, horrible and disgusting. Beheading innocents? Involving children in conflict and raping women? It's maniacal.

ISIS support has also just been made illegal in the most populous Muslim nation on Earth - Indonesia - and has gathered opposition from people of all faiths and beliefs - Christian, Muslim, atheist - all over the world.

It is an injustice because innocents are being killed so heedlessly, unnecessarily, and gruesomely. Even women and children, many of whom are Muslim. It would be likewise a dangerous thing to lump those victims in with their murderers and say 'all Muslims are responsible'. That is simply not the case.

It is unfair to say that those who oppose Israel's massacring of women and children cannot stand in opposition to ISIS's massacring of women and children on the same principles; children should not have to die because adults are too stubborn, conditioned and pig-headed to think like the un-indoctrinated children think.

'Truly, I tell you, the kingdom of God belongs to little ones such as these'

"A Republican congressman warned Americans that President Obama would not be able to adequately protect the nation from the threat posed by the Islamic State in Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) — the terrorist organization that has taken over large parts of Iraq — because the administration’s policy is being guided and influenced by 'Muslim brothers.'”

Appearing on SiriusXM’s The Wilkow Majority, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) argued, 'if you’re Commander-in-Chief you can’t be listening to Muslim brother advise on when it’s time to stop destroying Muslim brothers.'”
