At first I thought: screw it and the IDF both, they're getting enough of my tax money already in the form of massive US military aid, and I don't like them any better than I like the Palestinians...
But then I thought: if everyone in America send these guys pizza, and if it really is tax deductible, it'd drown the IDF in fast food and there'd be less tax money to spend on giving weapons to Israel.

I think this is a great idea. Instead of donations going toward arming the troops, this is something that provides emotional and economic support. Neat idea, regardless of whether you approve of the beneficiaries of the charity.
No, I don't think there's an equivalent service that allows donators to send pizzas to Palestinian fighters. Go ahead and set one up, they could probably use it. Make sure it's Sbarro pizza -- for that extra moral resonance.

Supreme Being-that is the best commentary I've read on the whole mess!

I am, of course, outraged by suicide bombers, but I am equally outraged by Israel...actually, I am more outraged. They _have_ their country, and so the norms of civilization require more of them.

But both sides are so totally fucked. It is almost exactly like when my two younger kids (4 and 5) fight. I'd write it up, but you all know the drill...she hit me he poked me she looked at me funny...

I'm with Supreme Being. I'm gonna pull over right now if it doesn't stop!

Israel. Palestine.

You know, they're both kinda vicious. And I don't care who started it, I'm going to pull over right now if it doesn't stop.

Supporting them as they defend settlers who are stealing other people's land, in defiance of numerous UN resolutions, and then putting the displaced people in what are effectively ghettoes, surrounded by high walls and razor wire? (oh and by the way my GF's family are Jewish and lost relations in the Holocaust, so don't even *try* calling me an anti-Semite). It's almost like Americans supporting the IRA....oh hang on, they did this too....

Why would you want to do this? Is there an urge among Americans to buy food for a foreign army? Why not offer other armies to feed? I'm not sure I like this.

It's interesting that you can get a US tax deduction by donating money to buy food for a foreign army.

Oh well, it's not like tax money goes to the people that need it anyway...
