CDZ Our Ally Israel

[Liminal]

We are constantly told by our government and news media that Israel is an important strategic ally of the United States. It's easy to see why this alliance is important for Israel, but what do we get out of this relationship? How is Israel an important ally for us? How do they help us? Do they help us? Or are they more of a liability than anything else?

95% of America's problems with countries in the Middle East has to due with supplying Israel with money and weapons.

We gain nothing from it except hatred and animosity from just about every country in the region. .....

So then this looks like one vote for Israel being a liability rather than an asset.

Israel is the eyes and ears for the US in the Middle East. That's why they get money for weapons and defense from the US. Anyone who can't understand the reasons is brain dead.

 

[chao$]

Israel is a geopolitical outpost for the American empire.

I've heard that ludicrous statement before.

I guess Israel had its eyes and ears closed on 911.......maybe they just fell asleap. .......

Didn't you get the word? It was supposedly the doings of Bush, Cheny and Oliver North.

Israel like Egypt, Jordan and KSA are also defenders of the Red Sea and Suez Canal which helps keep Europe from going bonkers in some spectacular way as it has done regularly since the time of the vikings.

Eyes and ears? For who? The Israeli government has been caught spying in this country several times. What makes you think they're working for us?

The third sentence in my post you quoted.

 

[The Great Goose]

The Federal Reserve needs us to be active in the region to make sure oil producers only accept us currency.

So if you think that what's good for the fed is good for America, then alliance to Israel is good for America.

But it is not.

 

[The Great Goose]

yes, stirring trouble in the middle east will make this man my neighbor. He may be nice but why take the chance for a people as Alien as Israel's and as greedy and useless as the Fed Reserve?

Thank you for your in depth insightful analysis.

Israel is clearly a liability: duplicitous, untrustworthy, arrogant, and condescending – they ‘negotiate’ in bad faith with the full intent of doing exactly as they please, regardless of the consequences to the United States.

Continued support of Israel is completely unwarranted.

 

[william the wie]

Does anyone want Britain and France handing a propaganda victory to our enemies as they did in the 1956 Suez campaign, the latest attack on Libya and suckering Obama into Syria. Israel is bad but the alternatives are much worse. Paris and London have the Joneses for another useless war and keeping those idiots on the sidelines is very important.

Wow, Americans complain about spying?....

Yes, because supporting the ones who burn your flags proved to be a better idea.

Israel is a rogue terrorist state that directs its world wide criminal activity from Tel Aviv. .....

Wow we agree on something.

One reason I heard from the born agains is that the bible tells us to defend Israel. It has to do with armageddon or the apocalypse or the end days.

They burn our flag because we defend the other one. I'm sure you have empathy for the Palestinians.
