Why don't the American people know that Israel is in control of our foreign policy?

It is more of a burden to the USA\nThink about it.\nEverytime, Israrel makes a mistake and the USA supports it, the USA is in for a bashing.\nNow, the third world countries are fed up with the US administrations's 100% support for Israel when Isreael makes blatant mistakes and crimes against Humanity.\nThe USA was willing and championed the cause of Human Right in the Balkan countries but it cannot do the same with Israel because of distrust of the Middle east countries and Israel bieng its only real trustworthy ally in that region.\nFact is, Iraq was the USA ally and Saddam was the USA's puppet until they (Georgie) pulled him down. \nNow look at the results. \nThe Shias are going to cause havoc there.\nSame  in the PLO.\nFollow Israel blindly and you elect HAMAS\nLOL\nIsn't that a treat.\nThe USA (Georgie) is now threatening HAMAS but he caused HAMAS to be elected. \nLiterally\nIsrael would eventually lead to the downfall of the USA

Oh, you are so perceptive!  Yes, I think it is THE KEY.  For whatever reason, and rightly or wrongly, the Israelis are seen as the aggressors, and the USA is seen as the supporter of everything Israel does.  We give Israel more foreign aid than we give to anyone else, and the Arabs conclude that we could force Israel to do what we really wanted--therefore, whatever Israel does, the USA must be backing it.The Arab/Muslim world would not focus its resentment on us to the extent it does if there were a genuine peace in Palestine; and if there were peace there would be a chance of prosperity and jobs, and the lives of the Palestinians would not be so desperate that suicide bombing would continue to be a worthwhile alternative.  I think that 9/11 is the direct result of the continuing war in Palestine, and our penalty for our failure to differentiate the USA from everything Israel does.

In view of the fact that it has been widely known that Bush has been planning to 'invade' Iran for about 3 years now, nothing is a surprise to me.  \n\nNothing surprises me about Israel's actions as I am increasingly getting the impression that they are simply a 'state' of the USA out on a limb [bit like UK are becoming - and I'm British!]  Both USA and Israel are in contravention of UN demands and International Law.  Israel beat the **** out of Lebanon weeks ago - they blasted the country into the ground and ruined its infrastructure and developing tourist industry.  Now they have started shelling Palestinians again - it's shameful and you have to ask how they get away with it - all the time!  I'm not surprised these poor people have turned to 'terrorist armed forces' for their defence - Israel is the most technically advanced and well equipped fighting force in the Middle East and they constantly abuse the human rights of the Lebanese and Palestinian people.

i beleive it should be. america britian and israel need to reconize that people have diff cultures and diff views this is what is left of the palestinians land that was stolen from them. so if america is true to their word then they should have to reconize a democratic vote taken by the palestinian people. these three countries want to control the middle east. they did not do like in afghanistan and appoint a president. did u know the afghani president worked here in texas for bushes oil company? here had no political knowledge before hand. sorry to say it but in america if u are not with america u are against it and considered a terrorist. no matter what we try to say about freedom there is no such thing.

Because USA's neo-conservative just want to maximize their profits through the war by giving billion-dollars contracts to their corporations.\n\nThen to capture irani oil.\n\nThen to make Israel happy by showing that your enemy is our enemy, no matter how much Israel is pulling the legs of USA, this is called "blindly in love"through the effective seduction by hand-few israelis.

Israel is the only pro-western democracy in the middle east.  Isn't that exactly the kind of country Washington would want as an ally?

Israel should never had appeard in the first place. The jewish are the plague of our time, wherever they go, they leave nothing but death and destruction. Their conspiracies around the world has caused a lot of civil wars... The united states is losing thousands of soldiers in Iraq because Israel started to fear Saddam. And now Israel fears Iran, but I hope the american people will finally realize that their greatest enemy in this world are not the muslims, nor the terrorists, but it's Israel. U see, Israel has control over the american governement. All her wishes are fulfilled, all the UN actions against Israelare been broken. The jewish army has commited hundreds of massacres against the lebanese and palestinien people, and now Mr. Bush dears to stand and say "We won't help Hamass unless she accepts Israel as a nation". The american citizens must not allow such interference.\n\nKnow that the rise of Israel in the 50th has conducted the beginning of terrorism concept. The american people has suffered the 11-9 because they help Israel.\nThe Nazi leader Hitler knew that the jewish people are the must dangerous species on earth, that's why he decided they must perish, but damn it he failed. Israel must never had come here. Why didn't America give her a states somewhere in alaska, and let her go to hell with jerusalem.\nHehe, I bet Sharon is already dead but they won't admit it untill they secure the northern border with hezbollah.\nWith the policies the united states is taking in our time, Israel may not vanish unless if the united states and England vanished first, and that's what all the american people had forgotten. The jew hates christianism more than they hate the muslims. and know that if all the arab people have vanished, Israel will start killing you you dumb americans.\n\nMay God bless China-Iran-Russia cause they might be the only power that can stand against the Israelien-American-Brighton.

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.

Israel has always held a special position in the world by way of its stranglehold on the US Senate and media. The US says what Israel wants it to say and does what Israel wants it to do.\n\nIf Israel decides to keep its attacks on Gaza quiet, there's not much you or I can do about it. It will be kept quiet. Even in this forum, comments against Israel are suppressed. Just read the previous posts.\n\nBesides, Israeli soldiers murdering innocent women & children in cold blood is nothing new. They've been doing it for 50 years. I've seen footage of an Israeli soldier taking careful aim at a young man running for his life and then firing live rounds. He took 3 full seconds to aim. You do not aim for 3 seconds when you are firing in self-defense. He missed, then he laughed with another soldier who was standing beside him. They looked like they were hunting ducks or something. That's the Zionist mentality. Non-Jews are considered less than human.\n\nOthers have questioned why some say Israeli deaths are acceptable while Palestinian deaths aren't. The difference is that Israelis are occupiers. The land that is now Israel was taken by force from Palestinians. If a burglar breaks into your house and you kill him, it's called self defense. It's the same thing. Israel is the burglar. Palestine is the house.

Israel holds America by the balls.

You are smart, even though its a very simple question. Ever since the end of WW2, the US has been attempting to be the world's sole super power, which it is now. Look at what happened in the Korean wars, the Vietnam war and the never ending Middle Eastern conflicts. Israel is America's indispensible tool to reach its "power" agenda throughout the Middle East. America doesn't want to give its power away to any opposing party. That's why the Middle East has always been a tense region, so no end to hostilities. Isreal was drawn up by the western victors of WW2. The theory of dividing a land into religious sects just doesn't work. Look at what's happening in Palestine now.

I hope they will. The whole world is tired of the arrogance and intolerance of the Israeli Government. If they do not, the problem will be back in the future. When the US will fall in the future, Israel will fall as well.

Republicans and other countries get along real well so they are probably just friends and pick on each other.\n\nAs far as Israel being our puppets it's actually the other way around, we are theirs.

The US Government, for the most part, is ill-informed about the Mid-east. All we are proving is that we are the biggest kid on the block.\nBesides, war is always a money maker and an economey improver.
