Why do we care what happens with Israel?

[Rustic]

If Israel was full of black or brown folk we'd have bombed them out of existence long ago. And then sent in tax payer funded govt contractors to rebuild so we could bomb again. You know, the normal business cycle over there.

They are the only country in the whole Middle East that has any sort of freedom, and Muslims live for violence and killing. There is no/country the Muslims hate more than Israel... fact

How is that any of our concern?

Because the Palestinians are nothing but terrorists...

 

[Timmy]

Isreal is more peaceful now than ever. Their neighbors may talk shit , but Israel is under no real threat of war .

They can't play the victim anymore . If anything , they are now the bully.

 

[Timmy]

Please . It's not 1965 . Where was the last time a country tried to invade Isreal ?

Please, when was the last time Israel was attacked by foreign forces?

That's the question .

 

[Rustic]

That's fine and I understand that. But they always have something going on with them. I know they are the odd man out, I just don't get why we always have to be involved. Why we have to do everything for them with nothing much in return.
The way I see it, they can take care of themselves. They have the sixth best military in the world and could decimate any country messing with them.
Also, I agree with you on one part. **** the UN.

What do you mean "they always have something going on with them"? You mean several Arab nations have been constantly attacking them, either directly or indirectly, for over 65 years?

We don't do everything for them.

While they could probably decimate a single country, that problem is it's more than one. Worse, if Israel was about to fall, they'd go nuclear right into the capitals of the First World's main energy sources. The results would make the Great Depression look like a slight dip in the stock market.

Please . It's not 1965 . Where was the last time a country tried to invade Isreal ?

Don't you read anything, Israel's enemies want to drive them into the sea, that is their sole goal in life… Fact

Then why do we give them billions every year?

The same reason we give foreign aid to other nations; influence.

In many ways US money is used the same way a drug dealer uses crack; he hands out samples until those taking them are hooked, then he starts charging them. In the case of foreign aid, it's called "calling in favors".

Not my concern. And no more so than Israel's own terrorists who we fund.

And weapons and war, lots and lotsa war. Then the rebuild of course, before the next war. It's just business.

Yes of course, forever now. Ancient hatreds, modern weapons, it's a beautiful thing.

If other countries drive em into the sea, then so be it if they can't defend themselves.

Israel’s War Crimes

 

[Divine Wind]

Influence for what?

Trade, military access, political power, you name it. The US doesn't just give away money without reason. We always get something in return, albeit sometimes only "appeasement" which, as most people (except LWers) know doesn't work. Look at the nations listed below. Note who's on it and who is not.

It's not ancient hatred . It's pretty new . Started after the eruos got rid of their Jews by sending them to the ME .
