"If Israel did not exist than neither would the need for Israel exist. They pick fights and hold very hard lines. They are not good neighbors and they have sowed the hatred against them. . .Having Israel as an ally is like having a little brother that goes around kicking people. You have to defend him from bigger people."

That looks something that Ahmadinejad or a member of Hamas would say. You shouldn't sympathize with terrorist enemies of the USA. Europe needs Israel more than Israel needs old Europe.

And surprise, surprise,...

ARROW 2 THEATRE BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENCE SYSTEM, ISRAEL" (Army-Technology.com)
"The Arrow 2 theatre ballistic missile defence system has been developed by the MLM Division of Israel Aircraft Industries and is in operation with the Israeli Defence Forces." Israel started anti-ballistic missile defense research and development in 1986.

Europe's looking at a lack of oil in the near future, too.

Israel can not stop Iran. Only America, Britain, Austrailia, the EU, Russia, and/or China can stop them. I am not crazy enough to think all of these countries will help with Iran, I am simply suggesting they are the only nations with the means to disarm Iran. Israel would not stand a chance against Iran. It is almost ridiculous that people are suggesting that it is even Israel's responsibility to take on a country that dwarfs it in population, size, and resources. This is the world's problem, which means it is America's and its allies to solve.

You obviously haven't been reading what the above parties have been saying, or you are trying to label this guy. I don't see this poster calling for the destruction of israel, as well as far more verbally offensive things I am not reposting here, etc.

I don't think that posting something that is not very supportive of israeli foreign policy deserves being compared to the parties mentioned here. Some folks seem to have a wall of 'no-debate/no-think' when it comes to rationally discussing the pro's and con's of israel foreign policy and how it affects the US.
