Yet another opportunity to ask - why do we support this genocidal (just ask the Palestinians) theocracy that routinely spies on us, has no oil, and continually contributes to the instability of the region? No one has yet been able to answer that for me, choosing instead to call me an anti-Semite for asking. But I'm serious - I can't figure this out for the life of me.

It's tradition! ^

like the beatles needed to sell another 10,000 records. yish.

Benevolent Misanthrope .........Money and lobbyists.

I cant believe that's all there is to it, though. That's too cloce to the "Zionist Occupationist Government" conspiracy theorist bullcrap.

Benevolent Misanthrope

1)Guilt about the holocaust

2)the Upper East side

I'm a misanthrope too and think it's hilarious that the US supports Israel so unflinchingly while they create second class citizens based on ethnicity and religion.

The word your looking for is apartheid.

When Paul is done with them, they'll be embracing Palestinians like brothers.

It's all in the subliminals. How do you think they got us to wear all those stupid clothes and do all that acid in the 60's?

After 60 years of genocide you'd think there'd be no Palestinians left to ask.

Because if that's the kind of questions you ask, then you're either a complete moron or have an agenda.
But since I've a fancy for trolls: the palestinian population has been consistently and disproportionately GROWING for the 40 years that it exists, Israel is a secular state (we've had gay unions for about a decade now, how are you guys doing in that department?), The Beatles weren't allowed in because of internal struggles
between two businessmen and the spoiling of youth excuse came from a socialist point of view, not a religious one.
In short: STFU and GBTW.

Benevolent Misanthrope: Yet another opportunity to ask - why do we support a western style democracy that contributes greatly to science, art, ecology, who have taken a waste land and turned it into a powerful world influencing country, instead of their genocidal (just read the Palestinians charter) theocratic neighbor that routinely lashes out with random violence, calls for the destruction of the US, who is openly exploted by their so-called friends, and whose only saving grace is that they're too busy killing each other to actually be a serious threat?

Yeah, I ask myself that question as well. Probably because we're all dupes.

Wow. I loved how you jumped up on your high horse, managed to sound soooooo condescending, insulted the mans intelligence, and then deftly avoided answering his question. Very cute.

Alright, fair enough.

1. Payment for Israel being the US's butt-monkey (ever notice how every time the US does something... 'eccentric' on an international scale Israel either releases a whole bunch of terrorists from its prisons or gives them another piece of itself?).
2. Long-term investment in whatever high-end crap Israel develops, from weapons through computers to weapons with computers that have tiny weapons in them.
3. Long-term investment for when shiat hits the fan and the US will need a base in the middle east in a country it can actually trust.
Payment for misc. dirty work that the US doesn't want to be associated with.
4. BECAUSE THE ZIONIST ELDERS OF ZION CONTROL YOU, YOUR BANKS, YOUR MEDIA AND YOUR GOVERNMENT.
