The anger and frustration of the Pro-Israelis on this forum is an evidence to the fact that the conditions are changing in the US. The people who back Israel no matter what she does are losing the intellectual battle with the people who criticize her horrendous actions against a defenseless population. More and more people are waking up and the brain-washing of the Israel lobby is less effective especially on the younger generation. Any criticism of Israel is labeled by Anti-Semitism. As if it is Anti-Semitic to object to murder of children, bombing civilian areas, setting up checkpoints, and extending settlements in other people’s lands. America will be condemned in history for supporting such a dreadful regime. It is the duty of every patriotic American (whose loyalty first and foremost lies with the US and not a foreign entity) to question Israel for what she does. If they are getting our billions of dollars while we suffer at home, then they should explain how they are spending the money.
One of the most important objections of Muslim extremists against the US is the US support for Israel (a useless ‘ally’ that is on the receiving side all the time). So in one sense the Afghanistan/Iraq war is also Israel’s war too. What has Israel done for the US in these wars? Nothing! Even if Israeli jews can’t fight in the army, how about the american jews? How many jewish soldiers have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan for the country that is in trouble mainly because of supporting them? You will find many American jews who go to Israel to fight the Arabs but very few who fight the America’s war. Why?
