And once again, simply stating something is right doesn't make it so. It also doesn't mean that the action will always be right.Saying something is right doesn't make it so. Again, that's just the Illusion of commonality. Neither should past support dictate unconditional support in the future. That's just the habit of alliance.Actually you haven't.I've explained that this is not government school.
Unable to process the information provided, you've been dismissed.
Step off.
you gave some crap answer about shared values, but i believe that's the type of thing Washington would call "the illusion of common interest"
What????
Only a fool or a liar would deny how obvious the reason is.
Only "the illusion of common interest"?????
Really?
Here is Lyndon Johnson's answer to that question:
13. " Soon after the 1967 war, Soviet premier Aleksei Kosygin asked Johnson at the Glassboro Summit why the US supported Israel when there were 80 million Arabs and only three million Israelis. "Because it is right," responded the straight-shooting Texan.
.... prime minister Levi Eshkol's successful appeal for these weapons on a visit to the LBJ ranch. Israel won the 1967 war, and Johnson worked to make sure it also won the peace. "I sure as hell want to be careful and not run out on little Israel," Johnson said in a March 1968 conversation with his ambassador to the United Nations, Arthur Goldberg, according to White House tapes recently released.
The crafting of UN Resolution 242 in November 1967 was done under Johnson's scrutiny. The call for "secure and recognized boundaries" was critical. The American and British drafters of the resolution opposed Israel returning all the territories captured in the war. In September 1968, Johnson explained, "We are not the ones to say where other nations should draw lines between them that will assure each the greatest security. It is clear, however, that a return to the situation of 4 June 1967 will not bring peace. There must be secure and there must be recognized borders."

This what happens when those unprepared to be informed voters put in office a man unprepared to be the President of the United States.
So what's the reason once again?
Here it is, once again.
Soon after the 1967 war, Soviet premier Aleksei Kosygin asked Johnson at the Glassboro Summit why the US supported Israel when there were 80 million Arabs and only three million Israelis. "Because it is right," responded the straight-shooting Texan.
that's the illusion of commonality and habit of alliance speaking.
What makes our support of israel to the detriment of relations with other nations acceptable today?
