DIDN'T LIBERALS CLAMIED THAT THE REASON WE INVADED IRAQ WAS FOR OIL ???

Because contrary to popular liberal (mindless) belief, we do not go to war for oil. If we did, we'd be bombing Saudi Arabia and Iran by now. Israel is our ally, so of course we're going to support them.

Because Bush is a Fundamentalist Christian and believes that Israel must be protected to ensure the second coming of Christ
"The long-awaited Messiah will return to become the king of Israel and high priest of a rebuilt Temple, which can only be on Temple Mount. For Christian fundamentalists, Jesus Christ's return at the height of the battle of Armageddon, in which forces of the Antichrist clash in Israel with a 200 million-man army from the East, will require a Third Temple from which the Lord will begin a millennial reign."
Israel is "a fulfillment of the biblical prophecy about the second coming of Jesus," a belief shared by 36% of Americans in the Pew research. For the Republican religious right, Israel must not only be staunchly supported in its conflict with the Palestinians, but that the conflict itself should be welcomed, even accelerated."
"America has an obligation to stand by Israel because God has promised that land to the Jewish people."

What are you implying here? You seem to be against the claim that liberals think we're only in Iraq for oil, however, you seem to be using it as a justification for why we shouldn't support Israel?........
Just say what you mean, don't say things that don't have anything to do w/ it.

Israel can help us take over the rest of the mid east. Also, they were who we picked 50 years ago to fight against the Soviets because they were a democratic state.

Because US is stupid. And the government is sold to Israel.
Did you know there is 90 BILLIONS $$$ of American workers' tax that goes to Israel as economic help? Wouldn't you prefer that money to be invested in America instead???

If you are ignorant enough to think that oil is the only motivation of the US in all worldwide diplomatic relations. then perhaps you may want to do some research somewhere other than on the tv.....perhaps read a book or something.

Something to do with the fact that Israel is more or less the only stable democracy in the region.

yes you are right there is no oil in israel but there are lots of jews in wallstreet and a portion of the business world in the states are own and run by jews... US did also support Saudi Arabia in dessert storm... it led other nation in giving back kawaiti's their own land.... giving back afghanistan to its people and giving Osama bin Laden a hard time... pissing off means a lot to the US it show that they are also a force to recken with..

If the Arab governments acted civilized, they would get more U.S. support. The U.S. is likely to oppose nations that rant about wiping other nations off the face of the earth. And oppress women.
