JERUSALEM – In a statement to WND, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office today objected to U.S. condemnation of the Israeli government for enforcing property law in Jerusalem by evicting Arabs from a Jewish housing complex they purportedly had been illegally occupying for almost a century.

You could say the same thing about the Japanese in the sense that they are developed just like the West but no one view Japan as part of the West.

Israel has an unique culture since it is the only Jewish nation in the world.

You must be kidding me. If Netanyahu wanted to give up all U.S. aid to Israel, all he’d need to do is say so.

Israel is hardly a U.S. “ally” in any sense of the word.

That's a very interesting observation. Israel is actually like many other countries in the world in that it's a religious (Jewish) nation on one hand, but with a radically secular parliamentary government on the other.

I think what I meant was that we see the world politically as “Western” if the country has values of democracy and equality/tolerance and forward thinking and capitalism...probably from the old “east-west’ concept of The soviet Union, east/west Berlin and the mideast not as ‘western thinking or culture.”.

If Israel isn’t an ally, what is it then?

Thanks, Cinnamon Girl.

Bibi is in my Hall of Fame along with Sarko. Can we trade ours for one of them?

FWIW, In a very recent poll, Obama’s poll rating in Israel is 6%.

It’s not up to just him, and they aren’t that prepared now. This was years ago. He tried to set them up to be independent. Believe it.

“Israel is actually like many other countries in the world in that it’s a religious (Jewish) nation on one hand, but with a radically secular parliamentary government on the other.”

And what countries might that be ?

It's a country with its own agenda that uses whatever means at its disposal to influence U.S. policy to its own benefit.

An "ally" by definition has some kind of mutual defense obligations with its fellow allies. Treaty organizations like NATO and SEATO are perfect examples of groups of "allies" of the United States. The U.S. and Israel have no such mutual defense relationship at all, except in one very limited case (and an A+ in modern history for anyone who knows this).

When you get down to it, Israel is really no different than say, Saudi Arabia.

Much of Europe, for example. Ireland, Italy and (to a lesser extent) France are cases in point. Parts of Germany have government-run religious (Catholic) schools.

The governments of these countries are secular for the most part -- and in some cases radically so (France).

illegally occupying for almost a century.

WTH does that even mean? Israel didn't exist that long ago.

Really? Why don’t you ask the U.S. Navy if Israel is the same as Saudi Arabia. Or ask yourself when you are visiting both countries.
