why I say U.S. national security should not be tied to Israel or any Foreign State. Israel would not exist, if it wasn't for the United States in the first place. The U.S. created Israel and they need to handle them. They have no choice if the U.S. demands Israel respect the U.N. accords.

There is no way in Hell, Israel became such a powerful military Force, without the U.S. providing them with the resources. That is my allegation. My state of North Carolina has more population than the number of Jews in Israel. North Carolina would be bankrupt or taxes would be very high, if they supported a military like the Israelis does. They are getting military assistance from elsewhere. Think about what happened after 1948. These were displaced Jews, that lost everything after World War II. Think about how quickly they got armed with superiority in that Region. There is no other logical explanation but they got assistance to gain a military superiority. It points towards the U.S. and probably the British also. Think about the environment of the U.S. also. It was still a very racist country. These are the same people that supported racist South Africa at the time. This has nothing to do with being anti-Semitic too. It has more to do with Justice. Jerusalem needs to be an International city for both Jews, Christians and Muslims. The Israelis should be thankful they have a Homeland at all, after people helped them after the Holocaust. That is how I see it.
