When Joe Scarborough begins criticizing Israel you know the PR situation is bad!! [View all]


Joe Scarborough took aim at Israel's bombardment of Gaza on Thursday, saying that, despite his history of support for the country, he could not condone the killing of so many Palestinian civilians.

“This continued killing of women and children in a way that appears to be indiscriminate is asinine," he said, adding, "The United States of America, we cannot be associated with this if this continues. This is so bad, not only for the Israeli people, but for us."

He prefaces his statement by saying he could have had a golden key to Israel that's how much of a supporter he was in
Congress, but the indiscriminate killing of women and children has got to stop.

This is a short term victory for Israel. They have now planted seeds of doubt and distrust in their own allies. We need to stop
selling arms and giving them money during this battle. The world is watching Israel and we don't like what we are seeing.
