Why should we help a democracy in name only Known as Israel?

The west should NOT assist any country that is not democratic..period!!! When Iran turns their nukes toward Israel …..WE will be the first to throw our men and women into harms way!! And WHY!? Does someone have the answer to that? Why should we throw our people into another war in the middle east? For who? For a country that would just as soon through us to the freekin dogs when we no longer are necessary to meet any of their needs???

For instance Benjamin Natanyahu said…” the cause of the attacks on the United States was a cause of it’s own” …. Sounds like someone you’d want as an ally now doesn’t it??

Israel gives basic civil liberties to all it's citizens and residents. This inculdes complete freedom of religion.

There are so many churchs in Israel, and people pray in them (and anywhere else) all the time!

Israel does not hate Arabs, and there are many Arab citizens in Israel. They receive goverment health insurance, education, and lots of basic freedoms that they wouldn't get in many Arab countries. That's why most Arabs in ISrael wouldn't want to be part of the Palestinian Territories if offered the chance.

America needs Israel because America uses Israel to implement it's own foreign policy in the region.

Go learn some history.

Then learn a bit about international relations.

I think trouble making, bigoted, religiously intolerant, and uninformed would be a better "Profile" for you, Dr Kersey.

I certainly hope your 'Doctorate' is not in Theology, because it's doubtful that someone who obviously flunked World Religions should have received such a degree from an accredited university.

Well, Bush is helpin israel, because he want them to help him rule the whole middle east. that's his dream and every american president dream. this dream will never come true, because there r so many inocent people in the middle east and that's what Bush doesn't understand, they will all fight 4 their freedom. America has no democracy either, in my opinion.

I would answer but I think maybe the law prevents us from saying anything that may be construed as being against the Jewish people.

My goodness you are a blowhard aren't you. The america that you want isn't a democracy either is it? I really hope the US doesn't fall into the hands of someone like you.

Israel only hates getting blown up by terrorists...It is very kind to christians...it is very democratic...

becuas eit's better than a dictatorship.

Why would people help hobos on the side of the street if they're not rich and popular like you? we want to help those less than us, not those greater than us.
