Are we eventually going to regret the support we give to Israel?- like we did to

[JackT]

Iraq and the Taliban? Now before all the pro Zionist supports come running up here and start shouting democracy and everything else how innocent and wonderful Israel is here me out please.

When Saddam was gassing Kurdish babies whilst impaling their parents, President Bush (snr) called him an "Upstanding statesman" and provided full support to Iraq, why? because he was serving the US interest by fighting the Iranians. Only when he made a move against the US did we start calling him "Evil" or the "devils child" or the New Hitler etc...

The same with the Taleban, we had no problem with them chopping of the noses, hands, heads of people or stoning women and hanging 12 yr old kids,

Why because they were fighting the Ruskies at that time.
Its only when they made a move against the US that suddenly we are telling the world how "evil" the Taliban are.

So my question, when one day if Israel makes a move against the US, or upsets them will it be only then when we are going to realise that they are NOT the land of milk and honey and innocence as they are always labelled in the Press?

Will it only be then when they start talking about how they used 2000lb on densely populate civilian areas in 2008, or the schools and hospitals that too were'nt spared by the merciless slaughter from the Air? or that UN camp in Lebanon 2006, and they not the throughly nice people that we think they are?

Well, seeing as you phrased it in a somewhat more serious way than most questions of this sort are asked here - I'll give you a serious answer as well.

Israel is a country which respects agreements to the end. Even a peace agreement with the enemy it had the most wars against - Egypt - Is respected to such a degree that even incidents of mistaken identity, leading to Egyptian soldiers shooting on Israeli soldiers and vice versa or the fact Egypt does little to stop weapon smuggling into Gaza weren't strong enough to change Israel's desire to see peace continue between the two nations and its commitment to uphold that peace.

So if Israel always respects the agreements with its enemies[Jordan also comes into that category] and hasn't broken it even once, what makes you think Israel would do anything against its most faithful ally - The US?

While many Americans aren't even aware of how Israel contributed and contributes to thre US, the vast majority of Israelies are well-aware of the strong bond the US and Israel have. While many Americans critisize Israel and don't want anything to do with it - The vast majority of Israelies, despite the fact that the US army kills more innocents in a day than Israel's army kills in a year, have deep honour and respect for the US. Israel treats others as they treat them. Egypt and Jordan haven't broken the peace agreement with Israel even once, so Israel didn't see a reason to break it as well. Fatah agreed to stop terrorism in 2006 or so, and since then Israel hasn't attacked Fatah operatives, headquarters and so on even once. Not only does Israel have no reason to do anything against the US, but it would first require the US to break the alliance and take harmful actions against Israel for such a thought to even have some logic in it.

"2000lb on densely populate civilian areas in 2008"
Israel didn't use such bombs. Gaza's population density is 8,900 people per square kilometer. Such a bomb would probably kill over 10,000 people. Israel uses tactical strikes and precision bombs.

"or the schools and hospitals that too were'nt spared by the merciless slaughter from the Air?"
The UN already admitted, that like most things told by the Palestinians against Israel, that that too was a lie. Israel never hit the UNRWA school.

well i couldn't be bothered to read your rant however in answer to your bold type question....

don't we already regret supporting israel?

I know in the UK there is a very large Muslim popuation so I suppose we are getting it rammed down our throats that Israel is in the wrong.

We are already paying the price

We are loosing our own future generation who don't trust us any more, they have no idea why are we covering up when the facts are so clear on the ground.

How can we teach them right from wrong or about the holocaust memorial after they watched the Gaza bombing over Xmas and New Year.
