What does everyone think about this reply given to a question about Isreal?

Question

Thank you for qualifying your question! Your question screams of prejudice, but I am glad that you are....not anti-semitic, nor anti-Israel(!)

For you and other ignorant people, the U.S. gives support to many countries around the world. We don't give support for nothing. We get a lot back, especially from Israel, which is the only true democracy in the Middle East, and a true ally of the U.S.

For those who address how much money we give Israel, you would show a great deal of fairness, even mindedness, and unbiassness if you were to address the fact that the U.S. gives tens of billions of dollars per year to Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab nations, the vast majority which are dictatorial regimes and have a substantial segment that is brewing Islamofascism and rais their children to hate America, hate Israel, hate the Western world, hate non-Muslims.

For those who believe that the extremist element in Islam is small, the numbers are staggering. There are 1.2 billion Muslims in this world. Lets take a very liberal view that only a very small percentage of Muslims are exterme, while the rest of the Muslim world is very peaceful. So if only 10% of Muslims have extreme point of views, and may be a threat, and must be dealt with, meaning dealing with 120 million Muslims! How about 1%? Then you must deal with 12 million Muslims. How about 1/10 of a percent? Then you must deal with 1.2 million Muslims. The numbers are staggering! How do you propose dealing with even the "very low" figures of 1.2 million Muslim extremists?

Israel, a small country made up of 6 million people, is a technology hub that has more patents than China, Japan, and Europe combined! Many of these advances are shared with the U.S. I am willing to bet you that you are using an Israeli invention right now.

Aside from a practical reason to help Israel, there are those who believe in the biblical importance of Israel, and maintaining a Jewish homeland as was available centuries before Muhammed wore his diapers.

There multitude of other reasons why support Israel is important, but to think that the support is given for free is absurd, and shows poor education and thinking skills.

As for your last comment, Israel would exist no matter what, as it did thousands of years ago in the Kingdom of Israel, and Kingdom of Judea, which were countries long before Muhammed rode his tricycle.

Your bias and prejudice is blinding your judgement and reality. But I've seen it before. Shameful!

I think that this person wrote a very good answer. In my opinion he gets an A+!

Answer 1

that was the most logical answer i have ever seen in opposing extreme islamists.. i am glad that there is somebody out there who sees the world just like me ... whoever wrote that should get a prize or a medal for such fine political work... thank u for speaking out for me and millions just like me....

Answer 2

Before you begin writing odes and poems to Israel it would be in your and America's best interest to hear what the experts are saying to understand what really is the value of Israel to us:
I bring to your attention the report known as "The Israel Lobby"
by John Mearsheimer - Professor of political Science at the University of Chicago &
Stephen Walt - Professor of International Affairs -Kennedy School of Government - Harvard University
The unedited version of the report resides in the Library at Harvard University
You can see this on the web. This report deals with the cold hard facts and does not cater to wishful thinking.

Answer 3

I think it was an impassioned answer. But, the individual making it makes no distinction between monetary support, and support of bad political agendas which inflame, destabilize, and often destroy areas in a region which is home to millions of people. He/she evidently feels that shared technological advances justify the United States' taking sides in territory conflicts fueled by religious zeal. He/she also apparently sees nothing amiss in promoting the idea of 'biblical importance' as justification for taking land, over the reality of the human costs in loss of peace, lives, and livelihoods.
An impassioned answer. Even eloquent. But frightening in it's short-sightedness, and willingness to label, then target, millions of people as 'extremists' who need to be 'dealt with.'

Answer 4

A well thought out answer as to the support of the US for Israel. However, remarks aout the prophet Muhammed's diapers and tricycles DO INDEED scream prjudice and bias.

Answer 5

At the very least an A+.

I'm glad to see someone has a level head on their shoulders, there aren't too many of them around these days. He doesn't seem to be blinded by all the media hype.

It sounds like he might be an interesting person to meet.

Answer 6

what else can be said....it is true...America has helped and still does...countries all around the world...but I believe only because we helped Isreal...the Jewish people ...that we ar hated....America has stopped many dictatorships from taking over the world...If it were not for America we would all be speaking either German or Japanese....So to hate America for saving lives and treating people as a human ....then you are the ones on the losing side....

Answer 7

what a great insight and how well it has been written to make people understand his point! Kudos and thanks for educating people with your insight I get pretty tired of telling people why we should support Israel! ) besides Hezb is a terror organization even if they got voted into the parliament... )
This person should write editorial columns for NY times and Time mag!

Answer 8

Jesus took a position of humility through no longer counting equality with God a aspect to be grasped. His disciples reported "prepare us the daddy" and Jesus reported "I easily were with you this lengthy and also you do not comprehend me?" He reported "once you've considered me you've considered my Father." I easily have not yet got here upon a verse the position Jesus reported that He became God, yet He honestly says that through countless verses. Paul says that shall we be guaranteed that he's God because of what David reported. David prophesied this: "the Lord reported to my Lord sit down at my precise hand till I make your enemies a footstool on your ft." Jesus and God are both Lord's said right here. also, Jesus reported after His resurrection: "all authority has been given to me both in heaven and in the international." which skill he's God. i do not comprehend why Jesus by no skill instantly out reported "i'm God." it would want to of been for the sake of folk believing in Him without saying it instantly out. "I and the daddy are one." they're diverse factors of the single God. He did say that He became the Son of God even with the undeniable fact that. Matthew 28:18-All authority... Acts 2:34-The Lord reported to my Lord... John 10:36-i'm the Son of God.

Answer 9

Everything he has spoken is true. Who left you this, i would personally like to thank him for having brains and an ability to comprehend complex subjects such as 'open information'.

Makes me very happy indeed.

Answer 10

It is a well researched and thorough answer, although from my British POV it seems like its trying to be a "martyr".
