>>> I do find it interesting that you basically admit that the US exposes itself to danger simply by supporting Israel. Why is that?
Well, define “simply”. By “simply” do you mean handing them $4 billion a year, selling them superior warfighting technology that allows them to maintain military supremacy in the region, supporting them diplomatically in every instance and turning a blind eye to their abrogation of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty while imposing it on every other muslim nation on Earth?
That kind of “simple” support?
Everyone needs to wrap their brains around this oft-forgotten fact: The UN came in, threw a people out of its nation and handed it to their age-old nemesis. In light of that fact, can you understand why there might be a few disgruntled parties in the area?
That is in no way an argument whether the UN should have taken such action or not, it is a review of how this whole mess started.
Imagine, for a moment, the UN removing the citizens of three or four US states and telling Saddam, Iran and Kim Jung Il they were welcome to populate the territories as they see fit.
Think ya might be pissed, even 50 years later? Would you shrug your shoulders and say “oh, well” and just forget about it all? Or might you grow to despise the power that continued ally with them and make their continued occupation possible?
Get this: I despise the Islamic whack jobs over there screaming about the Great Satan, etc. But I understand why they are unhappy.
