I have never quite understood why the USA gives such blinkered and unquestioning support for Israel. I can only assume that the Jewish lobby has overwhelming control over the government and media, that you never get an unbiased view of whats happening. Do you not think its strange that the rest of the world takes a different view of the Palestinian / Israeli conflict?
Yes the Jews were violently oppressed but they have learned nothing. Israel is a Police state, that routinely orders assinations, detains without trial and ignores UN resolutions. It occupies land for "security" reasons and then build houses on it for zealous US jews who wanna come home.
I am pleased that the UK is standing shoulder to shoulder with the USA in the war against terrorism, but if anything is going to bring down the world coalition its increased US support for Israel.
