Israel Rejects Effort by Democrats to Launch Legal Probe of Jewish State

The Israeli government on Wednesday pushed back against a new effort by Democrats to pressure the Obama administration into launching a probe of alleged Israeli human rights violations, a move that could threaten U.S. military aid to the Jewish state.

A group of 10 Democrats, led by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.), has petitioned the State Department to investigate the Israeli and Egyptian governments for human rights violations. The congressmen cited reports claiming Israeli security forces engaged in the torture and killing of Palestinians.

The letter prompted an angry response from the Israeli government, which dismissed the lawmakers’ allegations and accused them of unjustly attacking the Jewish state while ignoring Palestinian terrorism.

The request for a probe could further complicate already strained relations between the United States and Israeli and jeopardize the military aid provided annually to the Jewish state.

When are the Jews going to realize that it's the DEMOCRATS who are kicking them in the teeth, not the Republicans. But yet they still overwhelmingly support the liberals.
It's the same thing with the black community. I just don't get it.

Unfortunately, never. The reason is simple. The Jewish people are part of the historically oppressed people that have been convinced by the democratic party, public education, and the media, as if there is a difference, that the republican party is evil, will bring back hitler and slavery, take women's rights away and on and on and on! Until conservatives stop falling for the traps by the likes of dirt bag Chris Matthews this cycle will never stop. Republicans need to adopt the "Rules for Radicals" as the party bible for the next 20 years in order to beat the creeps called democrats. We do not have to apply the criminal text we just need to know what will thrown at us by these creeps.

Good for them! We need to change the people who represent us and "are our voices". They are truly not our voices and do not listen to us. This is change I believe in! Bye bye liberals.
