Go to the gas station, look at the prices and figure out who we are actually propping up in the ME.

We get gas in return for our payments at the gas station. What do we get in return for our payments to Israel?

Right. I'm sure they'd be extremely upset about us be-friending a country patterned after most Western democracies. Whereas they'd be thrilled to bits about out warm and friendly relationships with the Saudi-Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and various other dictatorships in the Middle-East.

The JOS giant delusion is here---Now, if Israel would open up though, to show the Palestinians that they do not hate them
First Israel disenfranchised the Palestinians while taking their land, then herded them into concentrations camps, and for this the Palestinian people are supposed to LOVE ISRAEL??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Earth to JOS, the right to return still drives this conflict. And if Israel would open up and return the land, you might be right.
But to add injury to insult, Israel keeps settling on the disputed land in which a future Palestinian State might be made up of.

What is really funny is the fact that Israel has received around 80-90 billion dollars in aid since the first 100k loan in 49, and other countries around Israel have seen somewhat equal amounts (50 billion to Egypt since 1975). Wonder why no one ever mentions this?
Either way, happy birthday Israel :beer:

Nobody mentions it because the amount of aid giong to Israel to other Arab nations around Israel is really like 3:1 in Israel's favor. The only reason we are paying other Arab states around Israel is to prevent them from attack Israel onsite. Its bribery. Either way, the USA is paying Israel and its neighbhors to keep the area stable.
To me, its just not worth it. The only thing Jews give us is Hollywood movies and our news media, but both are horseshit so I'd rather not pay and keep the money. The Arabs give us nothing but Oil. But we have to still buy it on the market like anybody else, so again, its horseshit and I'd rather keep the money.
My kids school is barely operational, I'd like to see our states receive the aid we'd send to Israel and its neighbors instead. The funny thing is, Israel's schools are probably better than our own, and we are the ones funding Israel. /boggle.

RichardE, Its quite apparent that you are only listening to the Israeli version of the truth.
The Oslo accords were the European US version, and then there is the Arab version that turns increasing less pragmatic.
