I've been staying away from that area a bit, Perfessor. Too much hatin', and you know how sensitive I get. If you send me a couple of examples to peruse, I'll get right on it and get back to you (I believe you about anything as long as it's not "Bush and his Goons"!). I honestly have no tolerance for that kind of BS, and I'll have to give 'em a piece of what's left of my mind. Israels OK by me... ever had a New York falafel?

There is no use.\n\nthe UN is always with what is called "Israel". America is too. So why should the Palestinians trust both?

I like Israel, personally. I can't say I agree with EVERYTHING Israel has done since 1948, but I do believe they only want security for themselves. This is understandable since they are surrounded by enemies who want them wiped off the face of the Earth. Keep up the fight. America still loves you. Shalom.

Israel is definitely a flash point in the mideast and a big reason why there is such a reift between the US and most of the Muslim world.   I have no clue why we continue to support them to the extent that we do ---- likley due all the political contributions in the US ---- We let Israel have a secret nuclear weapons cache, but we threaten Iran for the same thing - no wonder we are viewed the way we are.   I am not saying give the land back. but clearly the borders need to be reset and a lot more settlements taken down --- The US policy on Israel has not worked in the US's favor in over 4 decades ---- It really needs to change

Personally, after doing some research by myself and reading about yours, I don't understand how you end up on the side of Israel. But that is your opinion. It is not so much where you end rather than how you got there that makes me wonder.\n \nI don't live in the USA and my opinion is that depending on the region of the world you get your information from, it will greatly shape your opinion. We can even see trend from countries to countries.\n\nOne thing for sure. To league with them because they have through so much persecution is not bringing one single tear to me. If they had been through so many and had learnt from it, they would understand there will never ever be a good reason to do the same to other.

Ahhh, for Bush's appointment all that is required is that you become a great liar, and possibly be an involved crimminal. Being a duel citizen Israeli would be even better since the Bush regime is full of them.

America would do anything just for the sake of Dollars. America is the wife of Israel.

Israel would do this before the US. The US might encourage Israel to do it, but wouldn't actually pull the trigger.\n\n--------------\nTo your added comments:\n\nIsrael because they have been directly threatened by Iran. This would make it appear "justified". The US has no reason to attack Iran.\n\nI sort of agree with you on Iraq. The US definitely wants a military presence in that region. However, I think we'd prefer a friendly government in Iraq, with the only criteria for "friendly" being selling us cheap oil. Saddam met this criteria from the 1960's through the 1980's. That why we helped him gain power, and that's why we supported him throughout that period.

It is a bit hypocritical. We attack Iraq for violation of one UN resolution, but support Israel who is in violation of 4 UN resolutions.

Yes, and Us supported Pinochet in Chile, Batista in Cuba and many more bloody dictators, as show the link below.  Do you know that US give Israelis arms to kill palestinans? USA are not so friendly.

Israel is the only country in the middle east that has a Judeo-Christian ethic and belief system.  Many Christians and Jews in the US support them because of that.  Also, they are of strategic importance to us militarily.

Everything smells like anti semitism to most Israelis  and I am sick of it   When will you jerks realize that you are in a religious state - and when someone speaks out against Israel, he is not necessarily anti-semetic - it just means they disagree with the policy of your government.  While we are talking about the Jewish State - when will Israel give us its illegal stockpile of nuclear arms?    I woul dlike to see the US begin to distance itself more and more away from Israel and would also like to see us curtail the defense "gifts" in foreign aid we send you --- and if you think that makes me an anti Semetic - Then Damn it, I am, and I am proud to be one....

It is simple. Since early 1950s US strategic planners realised that whoever controls Middle East has substancial power in the world,because of all the oil in the region. They suggested that Israel might offer the US means to gain strategic advantage in the MidEast. Since that time many things happened that proved this to be correct. For example, alot of Gulf states were trying to gain independence.. Israel was recognised as the state that can be used to relieve the situation in the area..also if that failed, use israel as a military base to control surrounding territories. \n\nIn Essence, thats what happened, Since it's establishment, it has received over $100 billion direct aid from the US, by far the most then any other country in the world. Alot of that money is spent directly to buy US weapons. Right now, Israel posses WMD, nuclear weapons, most advanced and biggest fleet of bomber planes in the world (2nd only to US). Other then US, it has the biggest military strengh in NATO. Israel has become , in effect, an off shore US military base.

When the U.S. gives money to Israel, it is in the form of loans, and it is spent in the U.S., and thus boosts the U.S. economy. Israel has never failed to repay these loans.\n\nThe real problem with the Palestinians, is this::\n\nThe Palestinians were never absorbed into the countries in which they were told to flee to, by the Arabs, when Israel became a State::\n\nPalestinians in Lebanon were never granted citizenship, they were kept in camps, where the Lebanese blamed the Israelis.\n\nPalestinians in Jordan were never granted citizenship, they were kept in camps in the "West Bank" where the Jordanians blamed the Israelis.\n\nPalestinians in Syria were never granted citizenship, they were kept in camps where the Syrians blamed the Israelis.\n\nPalestinians in Egypt were never granted citizenship, they were kept in camps in the Gaza Strip, where the Egyptians blamed the Israelis.\n\nWhen Barak, the Prime Minister of Israel, went to the peace table with Arafat and Clinton at Camp David, Barak gave him all but about 3% of what Arafat wanted, Arafat said no, and began the Intifada, the violence, again. Look this up on the internet, anywhere, you will see what i mean.\n\nThere will be no peace until there is no Israel, and the world, when it happens, will sadly say they're sorry, and then the terrorists will turn their attention toward the West.
