Why does the U.S. continue to support the terrorist actions of Israel?

[boredtodeath]

i am at a loss here.

 

[Todd33]

Because we hate Muslims and Arabs and love Jewish money and votes.

 

[Infohawk]

a) Because of the votes of fanatical Christians who have a bizarre love-hate relationship with Israel
b) Because of AIPAC and organizations like that which is because of insufficient campaign finance laws

 

[PingSpike]

Because we still feel bad about not doing more to stop the holocaust in WWII. And a lot of our less enlightened population has an irrational hatred of "ragheads".

 

[maddogchen]

ooooh...flamebait. (runs away)

 

[SirStev0]

easy... we fuked up by sticking the jews into the best section of that area and kicking out all the muslims... now theyre p!ssed and are trying to genocide all the jews that took their land... so now we have to protect them by giving all the guns and money they need so they dont get their asses kicked... so then radicals in isreal use the muslim attacks to justify their own attacks... and remember we gave them the bomb... just wait for that one

 

[dannybin1742]

because the jews are essentially protecting holy land for the christians, except that no christians have to die

quite sad

1) because they arent the terrorists, the palestinians are (doesnt mean the palenstiniants don't have reason to be angry)
2) They are a democracy in the midst of dictatorships in the middle east.

I define terrorism as intentionally attacking non-combatants without any reasonable strategic goal except to cause fear. Perhaps you think Israel has never attacked Palestinian like that, but I think history would prove you wrong. Labels are just labels, you really have to look at what they mean.

 

[Yolner]

Ohh god not this again.
1) Muslims hate jews
2) Because muslims hate jews they try to blow them up. Jews retaliate by blowing up the terrorists
3) Rinse and repeat.

We tolerate the actions of israel because they didnt start the war and are only trying to defend themselves. Besides all through history they have been the b*tches of the world. Egypt, Rome, Germany, and now the majority of the muslim world. They deserve something in return.

I think you forgot the part BEFORE 1).

And the question isn't why we tolerate Israel, but why we ACTIVELY support them in their actions.

So, it combines the 'redressing past wrongs' part of affirmative action with the death penalty?

 

[Infohawk]

What did Buchanan say about Israel?

The Palestinians are the ones that started the terrorist attacks, not Israel. The Palestinians are the ones holding up the peace process, Israel and Palestine agreed to a peace deal but Palestine changed their mind. Lets see here, compare an Israeli to a Palestinian. One hates America and wants Americans dead and the other sees them as friends. Gee, I wonder why we support them.

Maybe they see use as their friends because we pay the bucket loads of cash.

Because America sucks at playing empire. Our Sattelites end up controlling American policy towards them. Same thing happened with Vietnam under Diem and the generals that came after him. Same thing happened with Chiang Kai Shek in China (his wife, Madame Chiange controlled American's China policies). The same thing probably will happen with Iraq when a strong man takes control of its "democracy."

Yup next thing you know I'll point out why we should'nt be giving massive economic and military aid to a country that repeady spies on us and has full arsenel of nukes. :disgust:

 

[her209]

If you want to go after a country that has evaded and violated UN resolutions, look to Israel.

 

[kylebisme]

You all clearly have no respect for Jewish culture.
