I don't feel that Israel has really done anything to deserve stealing land from native Arabs, with our support. Israel, the whoooooole area, especially Jerusalem, has really done nothing good for the world so far. God knows if they had just leveled that damn city a thousand years ago we would have saved the human race a hell of a lot of grief.
Although I do not care for any religions, it's undeniable that the Jews have done a lot of good for the world, and they've been in the Middle East for a very long time. I don't happen to think that it's a very good idea to be surrounded by people that hate you, for religious reasons, but they've been through worse.

America, and much of Western Europe, feels that Israel is an ally in this region - and after the historic treatment that the Jews have had over the centuries, including the Holocaust and other genocide in places other than Israel, I can't blame them for taking advantage of the support and opportunities.

The big three monotheistic religions represent the greatest threat to the future of the human race, but radical Islam is by far the most dangerous at this point in history.

I believe that there would still be major problems with radical Islam, whether Israel was located in the Middle East or not.

It is almost impossible for any long-lasting peace to come about when believers in these faiths are at each other's throats, but Israel is far more rational, and inclined toward humanistic behavior, than the PLO and others like them.
