Thank you for sharing. Unfortunately some people cling to their ideas no matter how much truth is thrown at them. Do not worry, not all Americans feel that Israel is the innocent in all this. Some of us do recognize Israel as being in the wrong and the major aggressor in that region.

I'm afraid "Buddy" is completely wrong on this.\n\nThe only nation to officially and materially assist the Jewish refugees and insurgents to create the state of Isreal was the Soviet Union. Not only did Stalin send tons of captured Nazi weapons to the Jewish formed army (the first Isreali fighter pilots flew Messerschmitts!), but the Soviet Union was the first nation to recognize the state of Isreal as a legitimate country.\n\nThe United States was attempting to support Britain, which was discouraging the creation of Isreal. Britain and France had far too much to lose with all of their mandates / colonies in the Middle East. When the UN voted on allowing Isreal into the UN, I believe US and UK both abstained, but on that I can't be certain.\n\nAfter all the Soviet Union had done for the state of Isreal Stalin was undertandably upset when the Isrealis jumped ship and sucked up to the US instead. This had a direct effect on the creation of Stalin's delusional "Jewish Doctor's Plot" and other new anti-semitic acts of persecution.

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.

No, we should not continue our support.  We never should have given it in the first place, and here's why:\n\nIf Israel is a sovereign nation, then it needs to act like one & quit hiding behind America's skirts like a bunch of scared children [granted, most children aren't allowed to play with nuclear weapons, but that's the answer to a whole other question].\n\nAlso, I'm sick & tired of Isreal's oppression of Palestine being defended by America, a land that [allegedly] does not condemn people based on their religon.  It's reall quite hypocritical of our leaders to even consider it.\n\nIf, on the other hand, they would care to become America's 51st state then I would be Happyto see them afforded all the rights, freedoms, and protections that come with being part of the union.\n\nBottom line:  Sink or swim Isreal, and let history judge you as it has the rest of the world.\n\n...I for one couldn't care less...why anyone would claim such a gods forsaken place as the middle east as a 'holy land' is beyond my comprehension...\n\nStop.\nThink.\nResist.

Isreal is an allay to the U.S.A, its is even more of a state for the united states than another country, if USA make sure that Isreal are powerful enough they are sure that the can contol the middle east, therefore it wont complain about isreal's nuclear power, in fact, USA helps israel's nuclear power become more.\nSince USA doesnt complain about israel's nuclear power all other contries in the world wont even dare to come close to this area in order to protect its realtions with the USA

For some reason we seem to think we need Isreal as an ally, i think we would make more allies if we supported the palestians, Israel is a country that was imposed by the UN. It has got to be embarrassing if you need the UN to start a country for you.

I'm an American and I don't love Isreal or Jews, so please don't generalize and lump us all together. As for giving them part of the US, there are already more Jews in America than there are in Isreal. That is the reason the US seems so pro-Isreal, the Jewish population controls a lot of money in this country which influences politics. Just because I'm an American doesn't mean I agree with this, or my government's foreign policy concerning Isreal. If you have a problem with America, aim your anger at the government, not the people. Contraying to popular belief, both here and abroad, the American people play quite a small role in the government, particularly since many do not vote.

let see in 1949 the Jewish nation was redrawn by the international community. then in the 1960's palestine and other middle east countries decided that the Jewish people should be driven into the sea. the nation of Isreal fought back and won driving the palestine people out. so they fought a war and won the land. if you live in Americia are you willing to give your house back to the native Americans? because that is what the argument boils down to.

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.

Because Isreal is a free State. The American government is working on ways to produce energy so that we no longer have to rely on middle eastern oil.

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

Yes, but I don't expect it to happen. The US supports Israel, regardless of what they do. They regularly veto resolutions against Israel in the UN. They support Israel, the 6th richest country in the world, with 1/3 third of all foreign aid. The Pro-Israel lobby is the largest lobbying group in Washington. We are not interested in solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because it makes our weapons suppliers a lot of money.\n\nWe overthrow governments to install democracy, but when Palestine democratically elected Hamas, we refuse to deal with them. The hypocrisy is laughable.\n\nWe need to not take sides in the conflict. It is not our fight. Supporting one side while chastising the other is not the way to achieve peace.

1) They can...\n2) It's politics\n3) Isreal isn't considered a direct threat by the US Government. \n\nbecause:\n\na) Isreal is a Democracy.\nb) Isreal is a very strong and consistant ally of the USA. \nc) USA has vest interest in Isreal because it is the USA's strongest, and really, only ally in the Middle East. \nd) The US needs Isreal to reinforce it's own political agenda in the mideast, that being, the Democratization of the middle east -- this is really what it all comes down to.
