Israel would NOT need the arms in the Arabs didn't want to engage in ethnic cleansing/genocide. Quite frankly, the Palestinians have been treated with great RESTRAINT by American froeign policy, and I'm about to the point where I'm ready to let Israel do whatever the heck they want with `em.

They celebrated 9/11. They've sided with Saddam against us in TWO wars. If they choose to be our enemies, then we as a nation have every right to support Israel, and let the Palestinians deal with the consequences of their decisions. Their tough luck tobe on the wrong side of the war on terror.

I agree, but that doesn't oblige me to pay for them and become the enemy of those arabs.

Then let's do it. Wash our hands, slip the leash, and let them settle their problems. The current policy of buying weapons and providing funds to both sides isn't endearing us to anyone, and it has dragged us into their conflict. Carter's policy of directly engaging the U.S. in the Middle East was a mistake.
