This. They have plenty of money to fend for themselves

Just an informal poll. I wont tally them up or use the results for any kind of scientific survey, just curious.
A. Israel is our strongest ally, probably our only trustworthy ally in the Middle East and we should aid and defend them vigorously.
B. Israel should be kept on our back burner. We should help if they are attacked but that's about it.
C. Fuck them. No more aid. They are no more important than any other Middle Eastern country to us.

They are far from Perfect but, IMHO, there is only one answer: A
-
B. But also no more aid.

A., of course.
What kind of world would it have been, if nobody went and opposed
the nazis?
Well, the isil/daesch sp? are the nazis today, and the tipping point
to preventing or not preventing a ME world war...is defending Israel.
Right now, ObaMao is practically begging for the Israeli haters to declare
war on Israel, knowing he won't help them. And, practically opening the door
to Russia going after the NATO countries in the Baltic, knowing the Obamao
worships himself and his marxism far more than being a leader in the world,
and helping maintain peace, or...it all falls apart, war rages, it hits home to
western countries, including us, and there you would have history tragically being
allowed to happen, WW wise, a third time.

Isis doesn't have the resources to attack Israel

And they're not getting help from any foreign power.

Not being American, I really don't understand the depth of feeling towards Israel. Anybody care to fill me in?

seems to be spreading in the US as well.
I'm hoping it's not a long term trend.

BTW A for me.

and Chris, the reason I posted both of those things is that I'm asking about israel as to the anti-israel sentiment in Great Britain and Europe in general. It seems we have just grown up pro Israel in the US. I don't understand the anti Semitism. Do you?
I'm not accusing you of it by any means just curious as to your view.

I don't understand the anti-semitism at all, anywhere - seems like the jews are generally nice, harmless people - but that's not really what I was asking. I just don't see why the USA is so pro-Israel. I'll watch the video at some point, but very busy these days (hence not posting much) - care to summarize?
-
Actually the video was kind of bland, More a chronicling of the phenomenon than a real explanation but there was a little insight. It's not very long, & I think it's from the discover channel. Personally I would guess at least in part it's the bit about the enemy of my enemy is my friend and because some Muslim nations despise Israel and despise the United States...
I've always respected the Jews for their outstanding achievements across the world especially in light of the almost universal historic persecution. Not many minority groups overcome adversity as well.

My best friends when I was a kid were jewish.

Why does the notion that we don't have to spoon feed Israel for its survival have to be anti-Semitism? That's just a term, like islsmophbia, designed to make you seem racist if you question our strange dedication to Israel in the slightest.

It doesn't necessarily have to. But both things exist. I suppose someone might bring up racism should we have ku Klux Klan members elected to the US Senate.Why does the notion that we don't have to spoon feed Israel for its survival have to be anti-Semitism?

I'm just saying that I don't understand anti-semitism. It's easier do understand racism.

I don't give a fuck what the Nazis did. That doesn't make me sympathize with Israel any more than slavery or isis' actions make me sympathize with their respective populations
