Time to cut Israel loose?
Past time?
Obviously I think so.
This highlights the sway the Israel lobby has in the USA. The incoming PM of Israel telling us what our nation needs to be doing, apparently 50% of
that is doing what is in their best interest.
'Do it or we will' ...with your money?
Perhaps it is time Israel learned to stand on their own 2-feet. after all we are currently in the throes of a global economic crisis, there is hardly
money to throw at them.
We are also bogged down in a war we are trying to leave (Iraq) to get bogged down in a war we left on the back burner (Afghanistan) so we hardly have
the military capability of backing up the state of Israel.
Indeed if Israel is so intent on seeing military action taken against Iran perhaps it is time they show us they are capable of surviving without the
'big guys' backing them up. On the other hand, perhaps they would just be showing us how to ruin an ill conceived society.
Either way, I personally feel these statements are out of line. Israel lives off our handouts, perhaps they should learn to act like it.
