Israel: Friend or Foe?

Question

The nation of Israel, friend or foe of America? Actions speak louder than words;

June 8, 1967; Israeli jets attack the USS Liberty, killing 34 American soldiers.

May of 1970; Perle passing secrets to Israel during Kissinger and Nixon term

1973-2001; according to the Christian science monitor, Since 1973, Israel has cost the United States about $1.6 trillion. Top Jewish senators and Jewish congressmen in the US are voting to take tax payer's money to support Israel. If divided by today's US Citizens, that is more than $5,700 per person. That is more than twice the cost of the Vietnam War. Israel receives over 2 billion per year as a peace accord agreement, yet still to this day violates that agreement.

1979-1981 During the US hostage crisis in Iran, Israel was specifically asked to stop supplying Iran with weapons while Iran was holding US hostages. Israel was selling 500 million dollars per year of weapons to Iran, even after America asked Israel to stop.

October 1983; Israel deliberately allows 241 American Marines to die

1984; Israel denies U.S. Justice Department demand to extradite Marc Rich, a convicted Israeli spy against America.

August 1985, Israeli American scientist arrested for stealing 800 nuclear weapons triggers from America and sending them to Israel

November 22, 1985; Jewish US Navy Employee Arrested as Israeli Spy

October 27, 1991; Israel enflames race tensions in America by supplying apartheid South Africa with weapons and forcing the Bush administration to waive sanctions against Israel.

August 23 1996; CIA accuses Israeli spies of theft of U.S. corporate scientific and technological data as the type of espionage that poses the greatest threat to U.S. economic competitiveness.

September 1997; Israel, as a haven for Jewish American murderers to flee to and be holed up in, refuses to extradite the Jewish murderer of an American.

June 18, 1998; Israeli businessman convicted selling chemical and biological weapons components and know-how to Iran for $16 million.

January 28, 1999; Israel transfers laser technology to Communist China, despite American outrage

February 24, 1999; Another Jewish American murderer flees to Israel and is holed up there, after killing another American.

July 30, 1999 Israeli hackers attack Pentagon

February 24, 2000; Israel again sells donated US military technology to Communist China, in the face of US outrage.

September 11, 2001; Israeli spies caught cheering and photographing the WTC as it fell.

15 March 2002; Israel ignores US demand to leave Palestinian territories, damaging American credibility and making America look like a hypocrite for forcing Sadam out of Kuwait but not Sharon out of Palestine.

June 28, 2002; Israel Reports Weapons Development in Iraq, also prodded by 25 neo-conservatives, mostly Jewish, Bush went to war with Iraq, costing nearly a thousand American soldiers their lives, no weapons found.

August 28.2002; Israel Supplying Iran again: Germany holds up Israeli military shipment said headed for Iran

October 4, 2002; 9/11: WHAT DID ISRAEL KNOW? – and when did they tell us?

November 17, 2003; Israel blatantly uses American weapons in violation of AECA agreements between both countries which stipulate that Israel not use such weapons in civilian territories, enraging and inflaming the animosity in the Middle East against America, even though Israel can use Israeli weapons since Israel is the 6th largest weapons producer, it consistently showcases American weapons against civilians, spreading the guilt onto America by association.

Today; Israel forces America to keep silent about Israel's nuclear weapons, again destroying America's credibility world wide and leaving America looking like a hypocrite on it's goal to end weapons of mass destruction world wide, also allowing the "unsecure" Israel to attempt to guard that nuclear stockpile from the Middle Eastern black market.

In conclusion, since the founding of Israel in 1950, no other country has cost America more lives, money, and damage to credibility than Israel.

Answer 1

Foe.

Answer 2

Most of the items on your list are compeletely bogus, and if they aren't bogus, they are completely taken out of context.

Here are some examples (I'm not gonig to go thruogh every item since that is so tiresome and anyone can find out the truth if they so desired):
- The incident with the USS Liberty was a friendly fire incident. There have been a total of 6 official investigations and they all concluded the same.
- Israel never supplied Iran with weapons which is ludicrous since many Arab states, e.g. Iran, don't even recognize Israel. You think they supplied them with weapons?
- The US Marines being killed in Lebanon was not Israel's fault. They did not LET it happen either.
- The fact that Israel gets foreign aid from the USA is not a big secret and is not a big deal. There is no problem with this at all. If you think it is, then please explain why Israel should not get that money while Egypt should get its funding, which also totals over 1 billion annually? And Egypt isn't even that pro American!
- There is no footage of Israelis cheering as the towers fell. There is however, some footage of some Palestinians celebrating afterwards.

This "essay" is so full of holes they can't even get their dates straight! Israel was not founded in 1950, it was 1948.

And for the record, America's goal is not to end weapons of mass destruction wordwide, its goal is to make sure no nutcases have access to them. e.g. Iran and Korea. Israel, being a democracy, is not included.

Answer 3

Israel is our good bad friend. The one your mother hates cause he always gets you into trouble doing bad things. Anyway you gotta go back way before 1967 to explain what happened to Israel/Judah/Judea/Palestine and Israel.

Answer 4

Your "truths" are at best half-truths, and at worst vile lies.

The Arabs, plain and simple, are not prepared to accept the presence of a Jewish state in their midst. They are therefore using the weapon of terrorism to attempt to destroy Israel and disperse the Israelis throughout the world.

To this end they have invented the "Palestinian People."

In fact, as David Basch wrote, "'Palestinians' [are an] Arab people no one heard of before 1967 before Israeli governments certified this piece of propaganda... As has been noted many times before, prior to 1948, that is before Jews had begun to call themselves Israelis, the only persons known as "Palestinians" were Jews, with the Arabs much preferring to identify themselves as part of the great Arab nation."

Answer 5

Friend at this time. Almost every coutnry in the world has at one point helped their friend's enemies.

Answer 6

Israel has and always will be our friend

Answer 7

`People, do you want to know the reason that this "person" is posting such vile lies about Israel? Jealously. You see, in 1948, the UN partitioned the land that is now Israel into two areas: A Jewish homeland and a Palestinian (=Arab) homeland. In under 60 years, Israel has achieved many milestones that NO Arab country ANYWHERE and in ANYTIME has EVER acheived:

Israel has the highest ratio of university degrees to the population in the world.

Israel is the only liberal democracy in the Middle East.

In 1984 and 1991, Israel airlifted a total of 22,000 Ethiopian Jews at risk in Ethiopia to safety in Israel.

When the U. S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya was bombed in 1998, Israeli rescue teams were on the scene within a day - and saved three victims from the rubble.

Israel has the third highest rate of entrepreneurship - and the highest rate among women and among people over 55 - in the world.

Relative to its population, Israel is the largest immigrant-absorbing nation on earth. Immigrants come in search of democracy, religious freedom, and economic opportunity.

Israel has the world's second highest per capita of new books.

Israel is the only country in the world that entered the 21st century with a net gain in its number of trees, made more remarkable because this was achieved in an area considered mainly desert.

Israel has more museums per capita than any other country.

Israel leads the world in the number of scientists and technicians in the workforce, with 145 per 10,000, as opposed to 85 in the U.S., over 70 in Japan, and less than 60 in Germany. With over 25% of its work force employed in technical professions. Israel places first in this category as well.

Israel has the highest per capita ratio of scientific publications in the world by a large margin, as well as one of the highest per capita rates of patents filed.

In proportion to its population, Israel has the largest number of startup companies in the world. In absolute terms, Israel has the largest number of startup companies than any other country in the world, except the US (3,500 companies mostly in hi-tech).

Israel has the highest percentage in the world of home computers per capita.

Outside the United States and Canada, Israel has the largest number of NASDAQ listed companies

Israel has the highest average living standards in the Middle East. The per capita income in 2000 is over $17,500, exceeding that of the UK.

With more than 3,000 high-tech companies and start-ups, Israel has the highest concentration of hi-tech companies in the world (apart from the Silicon Valley).

Israel's $100 billion economy is larger than all of its immediate neighbors combined.

The cell phone was developed in Israel by Motorola-Israel. Motorola built its largest development center worldwide in Israel.

The Pentium MMX Chip technology was designed in Israel at Intel.

Voice mail technology was developed in Israel.

AOL's instant message program was designed by an Israeli software company.

Both Microsoft and Cisco built their only R&D facilities outside the US in Israel


On a per capita basis, Israel has the largest number of biotech start-ups

Twenty-four percent of Israel's workforce holds university degrees -- ranking third in the industrialized world, after the United States and Holland -- and 12 percent hold advanced degrees.

Imagine. Jews did in 60 years what Arabs hadn't done in over 2,000 years. I'd be jealous too.


You might as well stop posting such lies as "Israel is our enemy". You see, history has taught that wars are generally fought by countries with DIFFERENT ideals, not similar ideals. The reason that the USA will always count Israel as a friend (as opposed to the Arabs) is that, like Israel, we don't raise our sons to be suicide bombers or raise our girls only so we can cut their cl!ts off with a shard of glass.

Answer 8

Israel is a major pain in the @ss, but we suck up to them because of the strong Jewish Lobby in the US. Hell, there are more Jews Living in Miami that Israel

Answer 9

The answer depends on if you are a radical muslim or not. That's quite a slanted view of events you have there. Taqueya. ;-)

Answer 10

Yeah, yeah...I know, I know!
BUT...Israel is a friend of the US; maybe the only one we have left!

Answer 11

Just one of the many things liberals have in common with Nazi's is their hatred for jews

They are our friend.
