Hi Emile Vidrine; Re Israeli terrorism. This is ancient history.

Every one already knows that every time there's a war the alliances get shuffled.

The United States was a big ally of the Soviet Union in 1941, that didn't stop them from being an enemy in 1950. The US was a big enemy of Germany in 1944, that doesn't mean that Germany is still a big enemy.

What our allies did in the past is really of no significance to the current situation. Our backs are against the wall and we must defend ourselves or die. Given that, I'll take the Israelis as an ally any day.

If you'd asked me about Israel a month ago I'd have said that the United States shouldn't have gotten involved in supporting their obviously hopelessly outnumbered situation. But that was then, this is now. The Israeli situation is still just as hopeless as it always was, but until they finally are defeated they make a useful ally.
