And how many think US politics and finances are being manipulated by those with Israel's interests put above USA's?
How many times have the rights of US citizens been denied, such as non-enforcement of the Worker's Compensation laws?

Good answers coming, thanks. By the way, look at my Q&A page if you think I'm racist, I do not think I am. I just don't like being deceived.

When people START killing to achieve their goals it is evil. When people FIGHT BACK it is called war. As bad as it is, without war the world would succumb to evil.
A RIGHT is something you can participate in on your own. When you demand something from others it is a CLAIM on them. You may have a valid claim so take it to court- if you are not willing to FIGHT BACK you will always be a victim.
I doubt many Americans "think" we are a puppet to Isreal- but they themselves are puppets to whichever "media" they look at the world through. Thinking requires looking at the world- not the world on a screen. But loking at the whole world is not possible, is it?

To make it one sided is, well, one sided. Bear in mind, we were pivotal in the creation of the Israeli state at the end of WWII. We also serve each other's interest. For the US, Israel is a foothold on a region that is among the biggest in terms of security threats (the others being Korea, and to a lesser extent China, Russia, and Africa). We support their interests because they are intertwined with our own. Stability for Israel is stability for the US, and, at least in theory, a strong Israeli military provides a regional policeman, much in the same way that we are the policeman of the world. They are our eyes and ears. There are also religious ties to the region. Many evangelicals, our president among them, believe that Israel has to survive in order for the Second Coming of Christ to occur.
Your second question is moot. A tiny fraction of our budget goes towards supporting our ally Israel. They are quite self sufficient.
Your third question seems wholly unrelated. If you meant to imply that Israel doesn't respect the rights of US citizenry, I'd say you have a pretty weak case. I don;t understand the reference to Worker's Comp either.

I think that is a fact even though some of us don't see it, i also think the Muslims know that and that why they hate the U.S. My fear is that christians will die for a war between Muslims and Jews. Thank George W. Bush for getting us involved.

Actually, I think it's the other way around. Israel is attacking so heavly because we want them to link the terrorist attacks to Iran (which we have) so we can bomb the poop out of them (which we will).
Thank George for making the world safe for Democracy...

I think there is something to that. What I fear is that this will ultimately become a war between Iran and the US. I also fear that Iran is much closer to the bomb than we realize and they will hit the button the second it is complete.
