The French resistance was on our side, so they were cool. Plus, they are white. Now, if it were today, we would probably say f'uck the french, but that's because they are ungreatful, whiney little ***** who continue to pursue a misplaced sense of importance. The Nicaraguan rebels were brown, but they were on our side, so it made it alright. Today, who knows. I think we would still ship them guns. We're smart like that. The palastinians, on the other hand, are both brown and not on our side, so they draw the ire of a really big military power. Plus, they are muslims, and you all know how we feel about Muslims these days. Isreal is like the little dog in the Looney Toons cartoons. We, the big dog, tolerate them, and even lend an air of legitimacy to them. But alone, they would be like that little cornered wild animal that doesn't have the good sense to play dead.
It would be kind of funny to see the American Indians try the same thing here, eh? The Israelis should take their queue from us. We don't need fences, we just broke their spirits and put them in a desert. Oh, wait...
