the thing is the United states arms anyone it likes,
It armed Iran, China (even provided pilots, the tigers in its prime)
and so on.
either way the US will still get its arms contracts and be able to donate weapons to israel (i say donate as the US basicaly gives them the weapons
through military aid)
from its arab counter parts and so on.
ufoorbhunter, big diffrence between taking land in defence
so one can create a buffer zone from it and its foes.
and planting settlements in areas which it claims to be for defencive purposes.
if this plan is implamented there would be no reason for defencive grounds.
as Israel would have full support and so forth from the people they are saying they have the land to protect them selves from.
as stated before there is a big diffrence on what you are stating.
