Yeah Sure, Let's just Reward Them

Israeli tourists may enter US without visa

Let's just forget history
"The Liberty was a "sitting duck" for the Israeli jet planes' missiles and rockets and their torpedo boats. The attack lasted at least 75 minutes, killing 34 brave Americans and wounding 172 others."

Let's forget this
"Prior to 9/11, the FBI had discovered the presence of a massive spy ring inside the United States run by the government of Israel."

Let's pretend this didn't happen
"A monstrous war crime that Israel has tried to cover up for a fortnight has finally been exposed." Or this. Or this. Or this. Or this. Or these.

And let's just pretend this isn't happening
"Shifa hospital, the biggest in the Gaza Strip, is running out of drugs. It is performing emergency operations only. The CAT scanner is out of service for want of spare parts. The orthopaedic department no longer has plaster of Paris. Hospital managers appealed yesterday to the international community to lift the siege on Gaza, which imposed after Hamas seized control in June.
Dr Juma al-Saqa, a hospital spokesman, told reporters they needed 150 tons of medicines urgently. On Monday, Israel allowed the Red Cross to bring in 50 tons. That was not enough.
Dr Moaya Abu Hasnein, the director of accident and emergency, said dozens of cancer and kidney patients were slowly dying because of the boycott. While the Rafah crossing, formerly manned by European Union monitors, remained closed, it was impossible to transfer patients to Egypt. He reported that about 700 emergency cases had been sent to hospitals in Israel and the West Bank over the past month, but that left many more behind."

And by all means, let's shovel the money to them.
US promises Israel much more military aid
