(3,596 posts)We have treated Israel like a baby for decades giving them billions if not trillions of dollars in U.S. aid.
What has that gotten us? Oh we have probably gotten some good intelligence but other than that zip, nada.
We tell Israel not to expand settlements and they thumb their nose at us. We try to get them to engage in meaningful dialogue with the Palestinians and they do so nearly under protest.
We must immediately stop all support for either side. We need to pull out our missile shield from Israel. If they want a missile shield they can purchase one. We need to make sure we are making good profit on that sale. Any arms or anything they want they can purchase at market prices. No more special treatment for Israel.
Israel is NOT America's ally despite what people tell you. Israel is only out for one thing - Israel. They will kill, lie, cheat, spy, etc. without any regard for our relationship because they know the American political establishment is owned by the Jews. That is plain and simple.
I fully support Israel's right to exist and for Israelis to live in peace. But I am tired of the "thumbing of the nose" from the Israeli side. If they want to play games let them play them with their own money or the wealthy American Jews can send their money directly to the Israeli treasury.
