I think perhaps the lesson from the posts should be the fodder the world has against Isreal, and meanwhile the US turns a blind eye to their ways. It shows our viewpoint and the fact we back Isreal no matter what...instead of being open and honest about the fact they are no better than the Palestinians. Also, that we have been conditioned to believe their cause is somehow more noble and that its our duty to support them because they are an opressed country who is always fighting for their very survival. Many other countries have the same issues, but we choose to look at Isreal as the great martyr who only does good in the world and deserves our help and special treatment.
I think this is a very rosy view of a country who has people who have blown people up as well and doesnt want people in the West Bank anymore than people want them anywhere. We helped to prop this country into existence for no other reason than to have an ally in the region and help our interests...even though our support of Isreal is named as part reason for things like 9/11. That is not to say I am for the destruction of Isreal, so please do not misquote me. I merely wish (as with the Saudis) we had the same standard or view of all our allies
