should america support Israel?

Sure, when you can no longer defend your position, resort to ad hominem. Yep, that's really creative. SNORK...

Well, you did advocate Israel killing a million Palestinians to end the war, which as a percentage of population is considerably higher than the death toll suffered by Germany or Japan in WWII. That seems a bit extreme. For the sake of argument, would you favor a nuclear strike if it could be done without physically affecting Israel?

What I said was that Israel should bomb until the Palestinians and their leadership surrender unconditionally, and in another post, I also stated that if that takes to kill a million, so be it. What we have is a series of truces, followed by re-arming, and then more rocket attacks, followed by limited bombings, then truce again, and on and on. Obviously this cycle will never end. We have to remove the "limited" and make the bombings so atrocious, so inconceivably horrible that no one will ever want a repeat.


To your question: I would not recommend the use of nukes, simply because it would open the door to other countries to use their nukes to settle their problems. It happened once, the US in Japan, let us not repeat that ever.
