You know there are people that really want Israel to thrive, but don't want them to do it on the US dime or have the US give them card blanche in terms of their behavior. Israel has done things to the US, that if any other country on the planet had done, would have cause a nice little regime change in Israel circa US invasion. Israel's got to do the diplomacy thing and find compromise with other countries of the region. We can't afford to keep paying off Jordan, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, and a host of other nations so Israel can act that their crap don't stink and behave pretty badly. They have nukes, they are constantly killing and capturing Palestinians, they've blown up US warships, sent spies and assassination squads all around the world, including the US, and they are in violation of UN resolutions. Sooner or later that behavior has to come to an end.
You have every right to express your feelings in that regard. Some of the things you say are arguable, but you have even that side of the argument and I can't disagree with you. Just as there is proof that Kennedy was .... there is 'proof' that this.... and there is 'proof' that that... but yes, you can argue those points.
If America stopped their pay offs then instability would rein and likely finally something would be done either way.
It is an appeasement I agree, and one I wish were gone. Just as I wish the term Anti-semitism had never been birthed.
Yet, there it is so I deal with it in reality.
I peace will be hard to make with an Israel quite rightly paranoid. Nejad comes to Israel's southern border with Lebanon? Twenty thousand Hezbollah in South Lebanon?
And what is Hamas? They are financed with weapons from Iran and they have allowed the MB to control their arenas. Now it is quite hard for them to deal with the Iranian Shia who have also come over and who have their own Gaza brigades and trained the Arabian Shia who have become "Palestinians".
No simple thing indeed. But you have your right to think your way. I agree on more than a few points but differently. I am a third generation Canadian born Jew. I see that the American Oil Hegemony and desire to keep a lid on the middle east while it continue to secure, transfer, protect and insure the mainstay of middle eastern oil was the reason for the beginning of payments. For Israel it was small and grew, for the Jordanians and Egyptians it is a mainstay of their own fiefdoms.
Had Israel been left on its own in seventy three, the end result was clear...
Now look at what we have...
Appeasement never works in the long term. Israel appeased the Palestinians with their first Intifada and this birthed rockets from rocks. Now we come to nuclear proliferation.
