Israel has used its power in the Middle East to exploit others for profit and has attempted to expand its borders and does so by building on land owned by others .
As far as I can tell Israel is a location to keep the Jews locked up in .
No one wanted them anyplace in the world so they were given a crappy piece of land and America will only support them as long as they stay inside their own borders . And a few little border skirmishes promote arms sales and profits for America . Causes tension just when it is needed . Helps the defense department pass billion dollar programs to continue our own military build up . To defend against who i ask . No nation on earth could ever even consider an invasion and this is why we should mind our own business.
We can not stop the actions of an individual or even small groups from secretly cause great harm . So lets listen to them and back out of the Middle east all together and let the chips fall where they will .

Several incorrect facts.... first, Israel doesn't keep anyone locked up -- except for occupied territories, which are the result of wartime territorial gains -- much like US occupied territories.
Second, Israel is a secular nation -- and they allow people of any religion as citizens.
Third, Israel is quite happy to stay inside its own borders -- until they are attacked, in which case they retaliate. They don't build on land owned by others -- they build on the land they were given, and the land they captured from enemies who attacked them -- just as nations have done for thousands of years.
Finally, there is no proof that Israel has any nuclear weapons -- it's just widely accepted as probable. But the US has a very consistent dual standard with regard to such weapons -- if we like someone, they can have them -- if we don't like someone, then even the hint that they might is enough to justify an invasion -- except for North Korea and Pakistan, because we don't want the political trouble.
But I agree that the US doesn't need to be involved in the Middle East, other than on a political level -- we don't need the kind of military presence that we've been throwing around. And all we've done is make things worse.

Never, Iran says Israel needs wiped off the face of the earth, and Iran is working on a nuclear bomb. Israel deserves to be able to defend itself. Israel hasn't said any other nation needs wiped off the face of the earth.

We should cut off all aid to Israel (and Egypt and Saudia Arabia, etc.) whether they have nukes or not.

When we dismantle all of our nuclear weapons, then i will expect others to do so, but is wrong for us not too while promoting others to do so.

NO!
BTW, how about answering this question. The Israelis have nukes, but have never used them even when provoked. If the Palestinians or Syrians had nukes, what would they do with them?

A very good idea!
Isreal has nukes, but doesn't want it neighbors to have them. It is rediculous that they continue to build nukes, while having American fight it's wars for them.
