The US will always support Israel, especially with a fundamentalist president at the helm.  The US will never abandon Israel because it is strategically very important to have a stable ally in the region (at least politically stable). Also, to abandon Israel is to admit that creating Israel was a mistake... the US cannot admit mistakes, because the people of the US are very fragile and need to believe that their government cannot show weakness.

Yes. But not in the same capacity as the past. Without unilateral trust from all involved (witch is only going to be gained by equal treatment to all parties involved) even if it is not perceived to be earned, it will always be one step forward, and two steps back. Even Israel doesn't really trust us. It's just more beneficial to go along with our monetary gestures; after all what have we ever asked from them in return? Use of their airstrips to launch attacks from (which we in turn pay for the privilege). If we are to be negotiators of peace, we need to be perceived by all communities as even handed and fair minded brokers. Fair minded brokers don't negotiate with one hand behind their back.

Occupied Jerusalem: 3 October, 2001 (IAP) -- According to Israel radio (in Hebrew) Kol Yisrael, [Shimon] Peres warned [Ariel] Sharon Wednesday that refusing to heed incessant American requests for a cease-fire with the Palestinians would endanger Israeli interests and "turn the US against us."\n\nAt this point, a furious Sharon reportedly turned toward Peres, saying "every time we do something you tell me Americans will do this and will do that. I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it."\n\nThe radio said Peres and other cabinet ministers warned Sharon against saying what he said in public because "it would cause us a public relations disaster."

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.

I didn't hear the entire interview on glenn beck but I was impressed with Netanyahu. I am not Jewish and do not know their past leaders well. But after listening to this guy, I realized that he is a real hero. In fact, all the Jews who live in Israel are heroes. Couldn't imagine a life like that.\nAbout Iran- Yes, I totally agreed with Netanyahu

WE know that the Americans and the British gave Palestine to the Jews: it would be like me giving your house to the tramp who lives under the bridge near your house!

the Russian and Gypsy people of that era do not hold all of us to ransom for what a demented german tried to achieve. Why in God's name are we still paying for that mistake in history but are asked to overlook everything the Jewish Lobby and Israel do?

oh please. I'm so tired of "Israel defending herself" as opposed to "Palestine defending herself." They've been fighting for decades! They'll be fighting for decades to come. Israel claims they were given the "Promised Land" which just so happens to be land that the Palestinians inhabit. I'm tired of all of this Promised Land" nonsense just as I am tired of hearing about the so-called "Chosen People"..ALL of God's children are Chosen. All of them. Not just Jews! How do we know the land was promised anyway? Were there other "promises" made AFTER this so-called promise? I just read an article which said that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. The same article said that 6 million OR MORE other people were killed also (other "undesirables, who WERE NOT Jewish!)\nyet we never hear about them. I used to feel a lot of sympathy for Jews. Now I don't. They are NOT the only people who have undergone horrors! \nAnd they are not a democracy. \nThey don't know who they are.

I do not understand why everyone is getting upset at the way this question is asked. After all it's just a question and the person asking this question is just trying to express a point of view by asking this question.\nI believe that is Israel is a very powerful country, and by supporting Israel we are making it more powerful which is in our advantage since as many of you said Israel is our ally.\nMany countries consider Israel as a terrorist country and many more consider the US as a Terrorist country, every one has his own opinion we have the right not to agree with someone's opinion but I don't think any of us have the right to force his opinion.\nThere is I believe an Arabic expression that says "the stick that doesn't break your back will make it stronger" and I believe that's why Israel is so powerful and as someone said before me it may even become more powerful that Us American.\nbut since we are helping them now may be they will help us in the future.\nPlease choose my answer as best answer my mom is jewish and she will be proud of me if you do :)

We are not attacking Islam- we are defending our country, going after terrorists, and we believed we needed to go to Iraq to aid in that arena- and took Sadaam out in the process for the atrocities he has committed in his time as Dicator of Iraq- killing his own people by tht  thousands and allowing them no freedom.  These terrorists just happen to be Muslim or Islamic.\n\nThere are Islamic people all over the world, including USA- we are not attacking them- some of them are peace loving people, and some are even on our side- even In Iraq, and are glad we are there.\n\nIsrael is one of our allies, and has helped us in time of need as well- for your reading pleasure:)\n\nOn 27 June 1976, an Air France airliner on a flight from Tel-Aviv to Paris, was, after making a stop at Athens, hijacked and flown to Entebbe. Israel was initially willing to negotiate with the terrorists, who belonged to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, while at the same time exploring the military possibilities. On 4 July, the Israeli army, in a daring operation, rescued the hijacked passengers from Entebbe and returned them to Israel. The operation electrified the world and dealt a major blow to Arab terror. The Prime Minister, in a special session of the Knesset, explained Israel's reasons for the rescue mission. Text:\n\nMr. Speaker, Members of the Knesset,\n\nIn a bold, resourceful and sophisticated effort, the Israel Defence Forces have succeeded in carrying out the decision of the government of Israel to save and liberate from captivity the passengers of the Air France plane, who were hijacked by Palestinian terrorists and kept prisoners in Uganda, with their lives in danger. In the battle of liberation, three of the Israeli civilian passengers of the plane were killed and one officer fell in the fight.\n\nThe Israel Defence Forces have achieved one of their most exemplary victories from both the human and moral and the military-operational points of view, a remarkable manifestation of Jewish fraternity and Israeli valour.\n\nTogether with the families who have lost their dear ones, we mourn our dead, uniformed and civilians, victims of the vile Arab terrorism, and send to the wounded our best wishes for their recovery.\n\nhttp://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_1967to1991_entebbe.php

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.

Guy , you know our only god ( Allah ) told us about what is happening now ? and this is one of the Quraan's miracles  , Allah told us in the holy Quraan that during a period of time , he will give the Jewish people money and weapons and test them if they are going to use it in a good or a bad way , he also told us that they will use it to kill us , and that one day will come when we invade our homes that they previously took from us and kick them out of it , another miracle that Allah told us that the Jewish people fight from behind the walls....and here they are building the isolating huge wall around their territory !!!! so you should have a good faith that this will not last forever and that one day they will know what's right , God Bless Palestine.........

Well, your quote says it very clearly: \nMathew blames the Jews!

You know, you have a lot of balls asking this question, unless you are a girl, then you have a lot of something else.\n\nIt is by no means a coincidence that these men are of Jewish decent, and what you heard IS right, not only is the US political economy controlled by the Jewish community, so is our foreign policy.\n\nNow, before everybody explodes and starts calling me a fascist Jew basher, I am absolutely NOT. Read my previous posts and you will see that I prefer to bash Christians.\n\nAnyway, in our political system it (unfortunately) has become normal for those in charge of the financial market (meaning those with hugely big bucks) to control policy by financing politicians' campaigns in return for favorable votes on certain issues. The money just happens to be in the hands of the Jews. If it were, say, the Mormons who had all the Big Money, then THEY would be getting their way.\n\nBut the past few generations have been conditioned to feel so much pity for the Jews because of Hitler's regime, (and for the most part, rightly so), it has become horribly politically IN-correct to even slightly criticize anything Jewish.\n\nOne good example of what I am talking about is Israel. WHY in the WORLD is our government so insanely preoccupied with a dry, barren country that has absolutely nothing to add to our economy? It can't be "because it is the right thing to do." In that case we should be doing the "right thing" in Africa and stopping the genocide there. I personally believe that our politicians are being put under pressure to maintain a pro-Israel foreign policy just to please the Jews who bought their office for them.\n\nP.S. They do breed some REALLY COOL Koi's in Israel. For those of you who dont know what Koi are, look it up, they are beautiful fish.\n\nP.P.S. I KNOW that Koi originate from Japan. But they are also bred in Israel.

You're an idiot.  If the Israeli government were really Nazi-style your azz, would be cinder.  And I would applaud.\n\nUSA respect.  Respect is not neccessary for the equation.  We will continue to grow mutally with other countries through trade, while yours shrinks back to the primordial swamp.  Time for you to evolve.

Yep. Shure did. So did Yasser Arafat & Jerry Adams. But they're really nice people now. Unless they killed your loved ones!
