But, Phil, that's just not fair, our main interest in the Middle East is oil. What about the massive Israeli Oil reserves?
What...you mean there are none....

First of all, the ethno-centric Jewish state of Israel is a small, resource-poor country, with no natural oil resources, and is almost completely dependent on US support in the form of not only massive financial support (billions of US tax dollars yearly) but US military and political cover as well. Israel, quite simply, would not survive as the apartheid, imperialistic, war-mongering Jewish state that it is, without the massive support of the US government. Israel is surrounded by well-deserved, self-made enemies thanks to the initial injustice of the UN unilaterally giving away Arab land that was not theirs to give away in the first place to Eastern European Zionist Jews who have been committing ethnic cleansing and persecution of the indigenous non-Jewish Palestinians ever since 1948. Since that time, Israel has continued to aggressively steal even more Arab land and has blatant ambitions to control the entire Middle East, using the power and might of the United States.
If more Americans were truly aware of how racist and imperialistic Israel is, they would most likely demand that our government stop supporting Israel at all until it is transformed into a true democracy for all regardless of religion, race or gender, as the world pressured South Africa to transform from an apartheid country to a true democracy source
I'm at a bit of a loss here, what is it that the United States gets in return for all this financial and military support? Is it really nothing but a guilt trip, Phil? I feel sorry for the Jews and what happened to them but I also feel sorry for the American Indians and a variety of other people who got the shitty end of the stick as world history bulldozed it's way along. Israel has been given much, they haven't used it wisely.

Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...
