should the Feds keep giving billions of our tax dollars every year to Israel?

Question

they kill way to many ennocents .jail children and women and harm them.

Answer 1

Hey Tim. A bit of work on your grammar would help.
Israel has to kill and imprison for its own preservation. Yes there is collateral damage, but that unfortunately happens in all wars.
Yes it is a bit rich giving so much in foreign aid when there is so much real suffering going on in Africa.
All this cr*p about partnership and paying it back in other forms is just bollocks.
In partnerships each party does something for the other. What can Israel do for the US apart from dragging it into Armageddon? It's a minuscule country of about 1% the population of the US and spends every spare cent it has on military preparedness.

Answer 2

Tim, you are probably a nice person but you don't know s**t about international affairs or politics and I am not the one who is going to give you a lesson. The only thing that I will say is that Israel doesn't GET the money without paying it back with interest. You aren't aware that Israel does a great deal for the USA in medicine, general research, military armament, chips, software, etc. As far as the Arabs who are imprisoned in Israel, let them rot in jail. They are all terrorists.

Answer 3

I think I understand your question. You believe that Israel is killing "ennocents," "jailing children and women," etc. Even though that is not true, you apparently don't mind at all when the Arabs kill men, women, and children through frequent terrorist attacks. You also probably don't mind at all that the US has also gives billions of dollars to Arab countries. In short, I think what you're saying is that Israelis are bad and Arabs are good. So it all comes down to opinions. Just like you might have an opinion that filth, crime, corruption, and pollution are good things, while I might argue the opposite.

Answer 4

Giving Israel support was one way of trying to achieve stability in an unstable region. Now Israel doesn't pay any attention to our suggestions or requests and in most cases cause the west more trouble the they are worth. I guess the answer is "No", support for Israel should be limited to what the end result or benefit would be.

Since there is less stability now, then arms and money should be stopped.

Answer 5

I know it will devistate an anti-Semite, such as yourself, but the US and Israel are partners. They are allied as close to the US, as is England and France (maybe more than France ;)).

I don't know where you get your dollar figures from, but a link supporting them would help your credibility problem.

As far as killing "enocents" and jailing children and women, the Arab terrorists use women and children as shields, while waging war against Israel. An odious tactic employed by people with no respect for human life.

Answer 6

This was based both on US appreciation of Israel's role as a defender of Western values in a generally hostile region, and also on the Cold War calculus of opposing the Arab client states of the Soviet Union.

In the following decades, Israel and the US worked together to counter the greatest threats to American interests in the Middle East. These threats include the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction by rogue regimes; state-sponsored terrorism; the potential disruption of access to Middle East oil; and the spread of Islamic adicalism.

Cooperation has extended to programs for sharing cutting-edge technology and valuable intelligence; conducting joint military exercises; researching and developing new weapons; establishing joint anti-terrorism strategies; and pre-positioning materiel in Israel for use in the event the US ever needs to respond quickly to a future Middle East conflict.

In the 1990s, Israel and the US collaborated on a theater ballistic missile defense system, the ARROW, vital to Israel to defend against missile from nearby hostile Arab countries. Israel's missile defenses were integrated with US capabilities, including enhanced interoperability and upgraded regional early warning systems. This early warning system is highly important to the United States.

Answer 7

The US has been Involved this way in Isreal since the late 1700's. The religious zealots wanted to help the Jewish faith reclaim The Promised land. They believed the Rapture was coming soon and wanted to secure their parent religion in the "proper" location for the second coming.

Answer 8

I don't consider terrorists innocent.. so I don't really have a problem with Israel taking them out.

And yes, it is in our strategic best interest to keep Israel as capable as possible.

Answer 9

How do you know that we are giving them billions of dollars? Did you just hear someone say that and think it was true? Do your reasearch before you start throwing out questions that are really aimed toward making statements.

Answer 10

I think yes, and they should stop funding PA.
It would make the world much safer.
