Whether it was or it wasn't has to be weighed against the undeniable fact that Israel has been a loyal, constant ally of the United States ever since.

Undeniable? What about Pollard?

Don't get me wrong - I'm a supporter of Israel, based solely on principle. But anyone who does not think that Israel has their own agenda, and gets far more from the relationship than we do, has their head buried in the sand.

Isreal uses the USA like an ATM that doesn't need deposits. It is smaller in population than Los Angeles, but gets billions in aid. Like the Latino population, the Jews get support way out of proportion to their numbers.

It galls me that we have to support Israel, but we must. But you have to admit that if it didn't exist, 9/11 would not have happened. The Palestinians would still be like they are now, but there would be no one to blame but the perpetrators: Jordan.

If not for oil, the Middle East would be regarded the same as Africa. A 3rd world cesspool full of barely educated savages.
