#1 The J Post?! Now that's an unbiased source! Just keep sending 30% of your foreign aid budget to Israel and shut up--you stupid American goyim! Any Arab country is wrong and we're right!

#3 Just keep sending 30% of your foreign aid budget to Israel and shut up--you stupid American goyim!

That's just the direct foreign aid budget. Not Mike Moore the Jew-basher always conveniently forgets that not a single American soldier has ever died in Israel's defense. This is not the case with our other allies.* Our aid to Europe during two World Wars and for the Marshall Plan dwarfs our aid to Israel, which, by the way started only about 20+ years ago. Apart from the huge sums and hundreds of thousands of lives we've spent defending Europe and Asia, our additional indirect aid (let's face it - dollars are dollars, whether direct or not) to Europe and our Asian allies runs into the tens of billions of dollars annually.

More importantly, an alliance in Israel gives us a footprint in the region if things ever go sour in a big way, and all of the Arab emirates decided to deny us basing rights. Israel is the ideal ally for several reasons - (1) we agree with them on many things (democracy, human rights, etc.), (2) they are a reliable ally (unlike France or South Korea), (3) they occupy an important spot in a volatile but strategic region and (4) they tie down no US forces in their defense, unlike Europe, South Korea or Japan. We provide them with funds for what we would otherwise have to do for them. I think it's a fair trade.

* Heck, we expended more lives defending the Chinese during the Sino-Japanese War, which began in 1933.

#4 NMM - Either you are an Arab, or you're trying to impress your Arab boyfriend, or you do not know fuck-all about Arabs. Given your writing style, only the first one can be considered suspect. You don't have any personal knowledge or experience - you get all your miracles second-hand, as Twain once said - and your chosen sources feed you a gruel of predigested tripe, which you swallow whole. You're not smart enough to realize that, since it's a matter of survival, those "Joooos" that scare you so badly are the absolute world experts on accurately assessing the available intelligence. More than likely, you have done absolutely nothing to deserve the life you enjoy and, for obviously perverse reasons, this spurs you to try to tear down your own world. The world that would dawn, were you and your ilk successful in crippling or destroying or preventing America from defending itself, would snuff you out of hand.

You're a classic phool tool troll.

#8 Listen Farouk, when you call for a Jihad against the U.S. it tends to sour realtions. I would have thought that the Iraqi lesson would help you stupid Arabs, but maybe we need a second 'example'. Hold still and this will be quick.....
