Why does US support Israel? Why does US not look after its interests first before coddling Israel?
This article is too long to be posted but its still an interesting read: http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.html
ps. this article was written by 2 harvard professors in march 2006. Ofcourse they were chastised and branded as “anti-semites”.
Re: Why does America support Israel?
^^ no long term philosophical discussion here.
The reason is simple.
Israel supports America, so America returns the favor.
Similarly,
UK supports America, so America returns the favor.
Canada supports America, so America returns the favor.
Japan supports America, America returns the favor.
Even when
Pakistan supports America, America returns the favor.
Off course people with Hizbi colored blinders won't see any other examples.
Re: Why does America support Israel?
Israel is a democracy in a land of despots.
Re: Why does America support Israel?
^ So are the Palestinians, they elected Hamas. But wait, they are not democrats because America does not approve of Hamas but it does apporve of Israelis electing the butcher of Shabra and Shatilla.
Re: Why does America support Israel?
Democracy is the first step.
Electing sane leaders (read pro-stability) is the second but more important step.
Re: Why does America support Israel?
Electing butchers and killers of innocent women and children and supporting such regimes is not democracy. So now America will decide who is sane and who is not. They need to get their current crop of leaders examined in a mental instituion before meking judgements about other leaders. I am sure Hamas have not killed as many innocent women and children as America has in Afghanistan and Iraq and their lackey Israel has in Palestine.
Re: Why does America support Israel?
well israel is not the only democracy in the world. why don't lavish support to other democracies as well?
Re: Why does America support Israel?
Democracies all over the world support, trade, exchange, assist, protect, communicate and befriend one another.
Re: Why does America support Israel?
Zion is an American military base to keep an eye on Arabia. Like Britain is a military base just to keep an eye on Europe.

You must be talking about the times when America kept on dropping bombs inside Pakistan 'accidently' like in 1998 and then in 2006.
Re: Why does America support Israel?
Sadly! that's true. Ottomans decided who was sane and who wasn't.
They didn't spare Muslims from their version of the sanity test. That is why Arabs fought tooth and nail (that's the only thing they have due to lack of technology) to get rid of Ottomans.
Hujjaj bin Yousaf implemented his version of sanity check and hanged those who didn't pass.
Ali ah and Ayesha rah fought with each other because they didn't like other party's sanity test.
Quran and Islam was the same, but sanity test was different. That's how life is bro Mawarid!
Re: Why does America support Israel?
well not to the extent that US "support, trade, exchange, assist, protect, communicate and befriend"s Israel? No?
Re: Why does America support Israel?
That means US isnt a democracy :(

Re: Why does America support Israel?
No other democracy is under seige as is Israel. She is, and has been surrounded by nations and terrorists groups whose goal and mission is to wipe her from the face of the earth.
Re: Why does America support Israel?
^^ It has flamed the asses of the west, so y not spread it here. People should know, israel will be defeated, it should be. This is no longer a sane world to live in.
