What is so special that we have to protect Israel? A major conflict will stem from this. [msn.com]
since the 60's when we gave them nuclear devices they have been our 'foothold' into the middle East (all about oil, nothing more). I have never approved of this. I do not like Israel's expansionism tactics. I don't like that they are the primary reason the Palestinians have not been made a country -- it leaves the land 'open' for their takeover. This coupled with the Christian / Jewish 'holy land' crap just makes it worse as it also is a Muslim 'holy land'. Since the children can't play with their toys, take them away (ie. destroy them). Not as a terrorist but as a means for humans to grow up.
A big reason that the Jihad will continue.
The US wants an ally in the middle east and Israel fits the bill. Many American Jews have emigrated to Israel and there are wealthy influential Zionists in the west who can influence Govt decisions.
Understood but is it fair? That's the dilemma.
We cannot let inhuman, senseless, parasitic Muslim countries overrun the only civilized country in the region.
Which country is that?
@Geoffrey51 Countries around Israel. Get a map!
@zesty Got the map, donβt see much representing civilised countries anywhere there!
@Geoffrey51 Don't let her pull you in. She loves controversy.
