No, but it appears to me you hate joos. :mrgreen:Are you calling me an anti-semite? Put it out there in the open, American.

What information do you have that supports this conclusion?
The information that is out there regarding this incident, the past events and behaviors of the players. Honestly I wont waste my time trying to defend my conclusion when you havent exactly tried to disprove them. What is your opinion, and why do you think I am mistaken?
This whole thread so far almost looks antisemitic in it's generalization.
I personally wish the US aid to Israel, Egypt, Pakistan, and every other nation would end. The US treasury would have more liquidity, and the ex-recipient nations could no longer be financially threatened or blackmailed. Israel would do okay. Egypt not so good. Pakistan would collapse very quickly.That's fine. Israel is a sovereign nation. In that case, they don't need the almost $3 billion in subsidies that we give them each year. Seems like a fair trade to me. We can screw off, and they can take care of themselves militarily and financially.
But, as long as we are subsidizing them, and our relationship with them is compromising our ability to work with other middle eastern nations, then they shouldn't be telling us to bugger off.
That's just my take.
It's so typical to use the "anti-semetic" race card anytime some criticizes the GOI. It has become rather boring actually. :yawn:
I am have my own opinions of Israeli politics.
But, due the disproportionate number of semetic moderators on this forum I usually just keep them to myself. Nothing can get you on the bad side quicker here, at Debate Politics, than siding against Israel on any given issue.
That being said, I will pick my own battles. This ain't one of 'em. But I do hope someday that the US will tell Israel, "You're on your own buddy." I think they'd do fine without us. This US unconditional support of their actions, at our expense, has become quite irritating.
Sink or swim.

To make up for this loss, I think Israel should begin marketing/exporting more of its sophisticated cutting-edge technology abroad. If I remember correctly, only the US has more technology stocks listed on the NASDAQ. India, Southeast Asia, and China are huge markets, and they all love innovative high-tech.
That is one of the reasons the US. sends so much aid to Israel...... we don't want them to be selling that cutting edge tech all over the world, and I suspect that is one of the conditions of that aid.

I am not asking you to defend your conclusion. I'm asking you how you arrived at that conclusion.

Same thing.......:roll:
Most Americans have little or no idea of how the US financial-aid to Israel is structured. Let's get down to the nitty-gritty and set a few things straight.That's fine. Israel is a sovereign nation.

An example above for post #41 in this thread.Has anyone else found it telling that Israel has apologized for the timing of the announcement but not the new settlements?
Personally I find Netanyahu an arrogant SOB, and no, it has nothing to do with him being a Jew.
Israel reaps what is sows but please don't drag the U.S. along. After all they were the forefathers of using terrorism with bombs to get what you want.

Was that the act of Israeli citizens?
According to your assumption of nil value, numerous US presidents (D/R) along with both houses of Congress (D/R/I) have been making the same foreign-aid mistake for decades. Possible I suppose, but highly improbable.I'm fine with both of these. I see no reason why we should be sending aid to any of these countries.
Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Glad you mentioned that. Were you aware that Pakistan laundered US aid funds and funneled the skimmed monies into its National Atomic Agency and Khan Industries? Nevertheless, the US is still sending substantial aid to Pakistan? Why? Because as in all cases, it highly benefits the US either in the short-term or the long-term view.The only thing is that if we stopped aiding Pakistan, our efforts to wipe out the Taliban and Al Quaeda in both Pakistan and Afghanistan would end. This would leave two destabilized regimes in western Asia, one of whom has access to nuclear weapons.

Really?
Before Israel's existent?
And were the above people the first terrorists?
Really?
I could swear that at least the Palestinian Arab terrorism came over two decades before that attack.

Just goes to show how such opinions are nothing but the direct cause of the lack of knowledge.
Aren't you the one that thinks the Israeli navy could misidentify an American ship complete with American flag flying? I rest my case.
