How much do you really care about Israel? I mean, do you really think
that we should support them as much as we do? We caught one of their
spies in the Pentagon(He got 12 years today) and they haven't exactly
cooperated as well as they could have in the whole peace process thing
overthere....do we really need to put so much at stake to support them
like they are our little brother? I mean, this Jews have had a really
hard time in their history and I have the highest respect for them as a
whole but do that really have THAT much right to be there? I mean, they
basically invaded it after they left Egypt back in the day(Moses and
Joshua we basically warlords), killing everyone there and repopulating
the place so they could have total control so I mean, if you go back
far enough the Arabs were really there first. That and they were gone
from the area since like the time of the Roman Empire so saying they
have a right to the area is like saying the Indians have a right to
take back Ohio....Not to mention the fact that them being there is
probably THE number one destabilizing factor in the area after
Iraq.....I don't know, I think the whole thing just stems from religion
so using logic is prolly a lost cause but I just don't understand why
Israel gets so much support.... ps Did you know they thought about putting Isael in Europe or South America back in the late fourties when they were talking about reesablishing it......I think that would have been a good idea.... -------------  |

Like you stated, I think it's just a religious thing. ------------- NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil. |

Once we stop supporting Israel so much, It wouldn't suprise me if some Radical Terrorist groups would step down... Wasn't Israel the "black eye" of the Middle east when they were first establishing, didn't they have some Radical Jewish Terrorist organization that killed Palastinians?(sp) -------------

Yeah, they hate our football, voting, and women's rights. They don't
have any actual beefs with us as far as things we're doing over
there.....

I watched a history channel thing on it a while back but it's in the old testament. My jewish history isn't great but from what I understand Moses became somewhat of a military leader during their time in the desert and Joshua was one of his right hand men who took over after he did. He went on to lead the battle of Jericho. The history channel thing went through the various battles that the jews went through at the begining and looked at them from a purely military point of view. ------------- |

Should we support Israel? YES! They are about our only "true allie" over there. Do I trust the Saudi's? Hell no! IMO -------------

America is the big nosey, drama starting fool of the world, they must be in everybodys affairs, I think we should start thinking about OUR land, and the problems there in. ------------- I shoot a Hoyt http://img414.imageshack.us/my.php?image=theusgovrnsucks6xn.png">

Hoyt, I was under the impression you were a Bush supporter. Being so
and saying what you just said are mutually exclusive so I guess I was
wrong....Of course, so is the battle flag of the Confererate States of
America and a statement against oppressive government so who knows.... Justice, if we could stop being lazy and/or greedy and get off of the oil we wouldn't need any allies over there.....And besides, did ya miss the part about them spying on us? I know nations do that to each other all the time but still....doesn't reek of "true ally" to me.... ------------- |
