Should the U.S. support Israel?

[Farnhamia]

Because non-citizen votes can be discarded more easily?

Why?

Because none of you has a sense of humor?

[Conserative Morality]

Because none of you has a sense of humor?

Furriners don't get 'Merican humor.

[Keronians]

Why?

Because none of you has a sense of humor?

Ahhh, I see now.

Sorry, sarcasm metre broken. :|

Thats really sad when you think Palestine have been good... when THEY started the war and Palestine supports the HAMAS organization WHICH BTW Palestine will not stop when they get a "lil" land

I don't think that any party has been good, but the people are angry at Israel because they are denying them land. The HAMAS organization are doing this violently, which I condemn. But the regular people who are living in poverty are angry at Israel, for they are denying the land to them.

Well then the people should step up against the organization and defeat them WITH Israeli help because you have to put yourself in Israel's shoes they are doing this to stay alive and those points are KEY defensive positions

Should we trade with it? Yes
Should we stay "friends"? Sure
Should we support them militarily? No
Should we support everything they do? No

I agree with this above.

Yes. Israel's the only Jewish nation on the planet surrounded by people who hate Jews with a passion and have waged wars on it constantly since 1948.

And whose fault is that? Sure, the US and the UK decided to give Palestine to those who are now Israelis, but they didn't have to agree to that scheme, nor did they have to do everything possible to further antagonize their neighbors once they did go there.

But the real question is should the USA support Saudi Arabia?

No.

Lulz palestine wasn't there before Israeli's just saying

palestine came from syria Damascais (how ever its spelt) regions while the israeli's were in Jerusalem region

[Mike the Progressive]

To a point. Though it shouldn't be a "blank check" policy. We reiterate that we will defend the Israeli people from annihilation and that is the extent of it.

[New Celisia]

We should be the enemies of radical Islam. Israel is the enemy of such, Israel doesn't play around when attacked. If Israel needs something it takes it. Just like any country in the course of history, of course we chide them as we ourselves are at war in the middle east. A war for oil. We have no place to judge them, at least they are trying to take land to house their people, and not be greedy about oil. Israel is what we should have become. It's tiny and and it's basically a world power.

We secured the safety of said oil, so that we would continue to have access to it.

[Dododecapod]

Yes. By showing that we stand by our allies even in extremis, we make it more likely that our allies will do the same for us.

You probably think war is good, don't you? Stop supporting the Capitalistic, Moralistic, Religious, and Arrogant States of America or the CMRASA for short!
I really am displeased that you think war is good. All it does is kill human beings who have the right to live as much as you do. But of course, you call them tribals, and say it's ok to shoot them with machine-guns, right?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The most sense I've read out of this thread, and something I can agree with.

This isn't just for Israel. This should be our foreign policy for every country.

You know - you don't support them militarily just to show off, but because it's profitable to do so. Maybe it's not a good idea to let the countries you trade with, or have important resources you don't - blow each other up into smithereens.

Ahh yes the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have been so profitable.

[Tekania]

Yes the U.S should continue to support the only democracy in the middle east, with good human rights and all other kinds of rights. Plus you can buy alcohol there!

Exactly, try being gay in any other Middle Eastern country and see how far you get.

Yes, in other parts of the Middle East, you think you were in the United States.

[EnglandTown]

Its been A long Historic battle between the Middle east and Israel...I think we should leave it alone Until The Last Minute....
None of them seem to want our support anyway U.S or U.K

[Pope Joan]

Let us be honest with our support. First off, Israel has not given any benefit to the US, they have led us into unneeded conflict and never been a bastion demonstration project for democracy in the Mideast as was hoped.

itemize everything under "foreign aid";' no more wink-wink nudge-nudge items such as the decades of "loans" for which interest was never demanded.

Then, let's help rebuild the beaches, resorts and orchards of Lebanon which Israel wantonly destroyed. "Oh but they were Military targets"? Pffft.

Finally I cao agree with Obama about matching every Israel dollar with a dollar for the new Egypt.

[New Celisia]

I think the United States' Provinces of the Middle East sounds catchy.

[Knask]

Should the U.S. support Israel? Sure. It's not like something as quaint as human rights violations is getting in the way of the US supporting other nations, so why should Israel be special?

You supported, actually, DO support Europe militarily.

And that HAS been profitable.
