It is no wonder that Israel is losing support in the United States with people like you making such statements. There is only ONE thing standing between Israel and the sea, that is the United States of America. Israel has no other ally in the world. Stop biting the hand that feeds you.
Okay i'm going to force myself not to make this a personal insult, but perhaps you should listen to the age old saying:
'Sometimes it is better not to say anything and appear to be a fool, then open your mouth a remove any doubt.'
America supports Israel, yes. HOWEVER, don't be a hypocrite and deny that there are two standards, even in noble America, for terrorist murderers of Americans, and terrorist murders of American Jews abroad.
Palestinian terrorists are not on the State Department list of terrorists (who killed Americans) whose capture has a reward. State Department approved adding them in December, removed it in March. The United States DOES NOT ACTIVELY PURSUE the killers of Americans murdered in Israel. PERIOD.
Secondly, America and Israel are friends because they ARE ONE AND THE SAME. Democracy, freedom, western values.
Yes, America has helped Israel, but NO AMERICAN ALLY IN THE WORLD HAS HELPED AMERICA AS MUCH AS ISRAEL.
A little reminder for you:
1. All this talk about Saddam getting nukes. Don't forget he would have had HUNDREDS by now if Israel hadn't bombed his reactor in 1981 (despite American objections). How do you think the Gulf War would have turned out if that hadn't been done?
2. Where do you think America gets most of its real humanint on terrorists from? Guess what, it aint from the CIA. And do the Israel's get credit? No, we can't even mention them as allies in the war on terror.
3. The Israeli army would pitch in TROOPS to fight SADDAM if asked. How many of our allies would do the same without objection?
The list goes on an on (technological/military/scientific cooperation, etc...)
It is a relationship that helps both nations, IN ADDITION to being the moral and ideologically correct thing to do. (that stuff used to count remember?)
But don't tell me for a second that America doesn't have double standards towards murdered Jews, except when there is a lot of PR around it like Perl.
And guess what buddy, Israel is the only thing that stands between AMERICA and FUNDEMENTAL ISLAM, by absorbing 90% of attacks. If Israel 'goes away', the suicide bombers will be bording American buses.
And you know what we'll do then. Bomb the sh%t out of them, kill 100 times more civilians, not apologize for a second, and give the finger to critics. To bad we don't support Israel in doing the same.
Israel is the fortress of the West against Fundemental Islam.
