You cant blame the unjustified choices and actions of murderers on the U.S. attitude toward Israel. If I came up to you, slaped you in the face, and told you that it was because your wife and kids were befreinding my neighbors whom I hate, would you blame me or your your kids? I hope you would blame me for my actions and not ask your family to break relations with my neighbors. But to each his own I guess.
Your analogy makes no sense. You can't compare a relatively benign family squabble to what has been going on between Israel and the Palestinians since 1947. The fact is Israel would not exist were it not for America's considerable and consistent military, financial and diplomatic assistance. There is undeniable cause to believe our support of Israel has been unreasonably costly to us in terms of treasure and blood and I am aware of no good reason to continue it.
It is not my purpose here to defend the position of the Muslims but to protest what I believe to be a diplomatic policy which is and which has been extremely counterproductive to America's interests. Briefly stated, our support of Israel is an extreme provocation to a people who have demonstrated their willingness to sacrifice their own lives to strike at us. To me, that is perfectly reasonable cause to discontinue that support. Israel is not America's problem.
Q: What great acheivment has come out of the arab world over the past 100 years? A: I can only think of one. A Jewish Israeli state.
What you perceive as a great achievement is inconsequential to me. Israel means as much to me as does Darfur. Are you capable of understanding that? If you know of some reason why I should be more concerned about Israel's problems than those of Darfur, or any number of troubled nations, please explain.
