Israel should not stay back, but I don't see any reason why America shouldn't.
More so, I am appaled that we the US have only supported Israel in war, and not in peace. We could and should guarantee firmly their borders if a viable Palestinian state is created and if Palestinian refugees in third countries receive compensation, just as international law demands.
The billions of dollars we gave Israel, and Egipt would have been better spent to compensate Palestian refugees from the conflict should they agree to pacify.
And I am convinced that without the unconditional military support of the US for Israel, we would have had peace in the middle east long time ago.
I also am convinced that there is absolutely no benefit to the US to be supporting Israel, to the contrary, our unconditional support is creating lots of problems.
For one thing it antagonizes the entire Arab and Muslim world. It makes them our enemies, because just like the Jews, the Palestinians are not going to stay with their arms crossed while their land is robbed and their children killed.
And just as we went to war against the Taliban for supporting Bin Laden, so do Palestinians go to war against America because we arm and aid financially the murderers of their children. As I said, they have a right to self defense as well as Israel, and they are defending the land they were born in and their way of life.
The only reason why the US is aiding Israel is because of the proeminence of the Jewish community in the US
Frankly, American Jews have so much financial, political and cultural power in this country, that no government can say NO to their demands.
And just like you, a majority of American Jews, have decided to be Jews first, Americans second, and to leave their morality somewhere outside of their conscience when it comes to Israel.
The 10 commandments so much bragged in this country don't seem to apply to the middle east.
Aside from not seeing the stealing of land, the murder of civilians, the assassinations of the MOssad, the torture, and the keeping of an entire nation in bondage, it is shameful how our media is manipulated.
If one wants to read any real news about the Israeli Palestinian conflict, one needs to go to European press, because the American press is shamefully controlled and censored of any news that may cast doubt on the "rightness" of the Israeli cause.
CAse in point - when 2 Jewish teens from settlements are killed, I have seen countless programs about their lives, their ambitions, their expectations.
Over 1000 Palestinian children have been killed last year in the occupied territories (amnesty international data), yet all of them are nameless and faceless, including the 12 year old killed with the but of the rifle by a Jewish settler.
I guarantee you that if a Jewish 12 year old was killed with the but of the rifle, his face would be in the first page of all major American newspapers for weeks.
What's most revealing about the lack of morality of the Jewish state is the fact that the assassin, the terrorist who killed that child walked free, acquited by a Jewish court (guided by the same 10 commandments Bush so much loves).
And it makes us Americans the same, unless we review our relationship with this conflict. It makes us, aids to the assassins of Mossad, and the tortionists, the landsthieves and the killers of 12 year olds.
I don't want to part of this, and I would hope no decent human being would give arms to 31 year olds who kill 12 year olds with the butts of their rifles to walk free.
