George the Jihadi hates America so much, it seems like he's suffering here."Secularized Christendom" has needed outposts and proxy warriors in the Middle East since 1099 when the Holy Roman Empire sent its hired killers to "free the Holy Land from the infidel", and, incidentally, I'm sure, take control of trade routes to the Far East. The Crusaders set up assorted Christian states and Islam vowed jihad to regain control.Yes.
Israel serves as a tripwire and early warning system for the US and The West against a resurgent and militant and re-militarizing Islam.
The West (secularized Christendom) needs outposts and proxy-warriors and staging-areas on the frontier of this re-emerging threat.
We (the West) let the Israelis get away with a lot, partly out of guilt and penance over the Holocaust, partly out of strategic and tactical interests in having a strong proxy and ally on the frontier when needed.
Numbers don't matter.
Good and brave friends do, however.
And we like the Jews MUCH better than we like the Muslims.
Always have.
Always will.
Jews are merely the latest colonial chapter in a thousand year Reich of plopping proxy states composed primarily by people of European origin wherever the Empire most needs them: "A little, loyal Jewish Ulster in the heart of Arab hostilism."
Israel would never have survived without the continuous financial and military and diplomatic support it receives from the greatest purveyor of violence in the world, and even a few Israeli historians might remember the long habit the US has of abandoning allies whenever it suits the prevailing political winds.
The sooner the better.
Why don't you just get up and leave? I'm sure Hamas or Hezbollah could use a good foot soldier like you. What are you doing wasting your time on these boards?
