and, yes, I support Israel partially because I am a Jew but mostly because Israel is the only friend that US got in this part of the world. Israel is the only democracy and the only country in the region that was fighting for peace and the right to exist since its inception. What do you think about the fact that Israel allows a Jew born in Argentine to emigrate to Israel, gain Israeli citizenship and probably even get some Israeli government funds to buy housing, but denies Israeli citizenship and land ownership to non-Jews born in territory occupied by Israel. Doesn't that go against your American value that all men are created equal? How is it right that a Jew from half way around the planet can get citizenship and government support but a non-Jew born 10 feet away cannot?

Israel is the only democracy and the only country in the region that was fighting for peace and the right to exist since its inception. Most of the Americans understand that and the support for Israel comes from both democrats and republicans alike. More and more Americans are having a hard time following the argument; the financial aid alone for Israel's 'well being' is becoming a very big burden........not to mention all the hate mail we get from the Arab world for supporting Israel. And then there is the fact that Americans have yet to learn how the Israelis covet the water under the West Bank. Of course we also have freaks like you but fortunately only few. Listen, dude, if you are so worried about Israel, why don't you go over and help her overcome her Arab 'problem'....and leave us out of it.
