The maintenance of the state of Israel is not a holy cause for which the U.S. ought to sacrifice plenty. Having said that I'm sure many folks would say I've reached the height of evil. But look at the history. The UN cavalierly handed over Arab territory to the Zionists. Why was this done?
In part because the Holocaust made the West feel ashamed for not having given visas to the German Jews who wanted to escape during the 30's before the war. From Stalin's point of view it was a fine way to set up permanent conflict between the Arabs and the West. Some people .will say that it wasn't Arab territory, it was British, or Ottoman or Persian or Macedonian or Roman or Egyptian depending on which conqueror you want to go back to. But the people living there were mostly Arabs for 15 centuries. The Zionists will tell you that the land belongs to them because it says so in the Old Testament, (written by Zionists 3-4 thousand years ago.) So in guaranteeing the state of Israel we are taking sides in a religious dispute between two middle eastern religions. Why?? Did the UN have any right to hand over the territory?
Were they not warned by all the Arab countries?
I say give all the Israelis visas to Europe, North America etc. And stop keeping the Palestinians away from their ancestral homes by force.
We must MUST wipe out bin Laden etc. But we don't have to fight for the state of Israel; it's not a just cause.
