For all the time spent, capital invested, and conflicts arisen from our support of Israel, is it worth it?

why do we support Israel? why are we involved?

Politically, Probably because of the massive amount of votes they receive from there.

Morally, because they need our help.

Religiously, well that's obvious...

I would say its worth it. Regardless of religion isreal is good (or seems to be).. and evil will triumph if good does nothing

Israel is a terrorist state. But because the Jewish lobby is SO powerful in the US, there is no way we're ever going to ditch them.

I wouldnt say israel is a terrorist state itself, but i do think we are targeted frequently because of our support for them. and i do think that the number of jews working in the government have something to do with it.

Jews live in Israel. Jews are God's chosen people. God said "Whomever shall protect my chosen people, will be blessed.", well...that said, take a look at USA, isn't a nation so blessed?

1. Israel is not terrorizing the US. They terrorize the Palestinians. Hundreds of civilian Palestinians are killed every month in the name of the "war on terror." Of course, the Palestinians aren't any better. Both sides practice terrorism.

2. Israel is nothing without US support. If we did go to war with them, we would cut off their funding and the state would collapse in mere weeks.

I don't get whey we're so chummy with Israel. The whole getting caught stealing nuclear secrets might have been a good time to cut off our relationship with them.

We are "chummy" with Israel because we made the place. Israel came to existence because the U.S. wanted peace between Israelites and others, so they cut out a piece of the middle east specificly for them. Although some people may say that Israel is a "terroist pro" state, it is more reaction then deliberate action. Of course, Israel has faults, but they are not terroists.

Jews aren't terroizing the U.S. at all. They are merely living out lives under the U.S.A.'s protection. If the U.S. was to enter a war with them, well, there wouldn't even be a war. The U.S. supplies Israel with armor, guns, planes, and pretty much supplies their whole military. If we were to go to "war" with Israel, it could just be occupying the place.

Just because people don't attack the states doesn't mean that they're not terrorists. The U.S. media portrays them as the good guys because we want an excuse to go into Palestine when the time comes.

Also, the U.S. didn't create the territory to make peace. It was the United Nations trying to compensate them after WW2.

I think that the USA should quit caring for countries all together and worry about USA's problems. It is a little ridiculous that the Gov't wants their nose in everyone else's business.

Haha, the government isn't really doing anything to help out any other countries.

If you are going to debate about Israel, do so without swearing or "hiding" the swear word. Be mature about this.

Now for the history lesson:

WWII. Hitler kills Jews. We (and Britain too, the main resistance was us and Britain) stop Hitler. Hitler kills himself (epic fail).

Jews have nowhere to go. UN gives part Israel to Jews. Muslims are angry because Jews get good land and they get bad land (the Jews get the good and fertile land, and Muslims get mostly desert and little to no fertile land) They start war. We "help". We are still "helping". The end.

Here's a cool verse in the Bible. This is talking God.

Psalm 83:1-5

"Behold, Your enemies make an uproar, and those who hate You have exalted themselves. They make shrewd plans against your people, and conspire together against Your treasured ones. They have said, "Come and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more." For they have conspired together with one mind; against you, they make a covenant."

Just a little tidbit of info that this hatred for Israel has been mentioned in the Bible.

US is involved in everything other countries do. It is very annoying because they feel they need to do a police action everytime there is an uprising.
