"What Say Ye?"

Hmmm...March "1995"...

I'd say we have another Losertarian with an Israeli axe to grind.

As a former US Marine who served in Israel I would say that my surmising is "in the black".

Israel is not our friend, or our ally. The attack on the
Liberty, their spies running rampant in our country, their
refusal to extradite murderers. It's time they stood on
their own two feet, and we came home. If all the primitive
tribes in the world wish to slaughter each other, well...
it's not our fight.

I have no wish to pour gasolene on the fire but there could be some truth to the article if what Ronald Reagan said below is true. I am very pro-Isreal but like any nation they must think of their own national interest first and foremost. I hope I don't make anyone angry by posting this

"As these events were unfolding, we continued to receive what appeared to be credible reports from Israel that Begin, who believed in the biblical maxim or "an eye for an eye," and his defense minister, Ariel Sharon, a bellicose man who seemed to be chomping at the bit to start a war, were preparing for a full-scale invasion of Lebanon against the PLO, waiting only for the slightest provocation to launch it....
"I emphasized my personal commitment and that of the United States to the support of Israel. I supported its right to defend itself against attack, but appealed for Israel not to go on the offensive...
"Israel's response was, in effect: Mind your own business."

Ronald Reagan, from his autobiography, An American Life
