I say fvck Israel. We give them so much, and what do we get in return? The hatred of the rest of the Middle East mainly because of our association with them. Not to mention all of the financial support that we give them that we will never see returns on. Fvck Isreal, fvck 'em right in the ear.
you're a real dumbass, aint ya?
we'd garner the hatred of the rest of the world regardless, simply because we're the most powerful and richest country in the world. people become envious, and want to blow us up.
the fact we protect isreal is because they're the only democracy in the region, and if we're spreading democracy, we better be damn well ready to protect what we start.
isreal functions as part of our intelligence network. dont beleive me? they have one of the largest and most effective intelligence networks in the world, second only to ours. they play a crucial role in the "war on terror" because of their proximity allows them alot of leeway on conducting raids on terrorist camps, and looking through cargo of ships, carrying terrorist weapons. groups like hamas and PLO.
isreali companies also supply us with very nice weapons where would we be without uzi's and desert eagles? :Q
edit:
the israeli intelligence agency is the Mossad... i had to go and look up the name.
