Israel eyes the '08 Democrats
Many in Israel are scrutinizing the U.S. presidential race -- and potentially key differences on security among Obama, Clinton and Edwards.
By Gregory Levey [2007-08-16]

  • Oh? -- The Great Experiment

    But truly, the only nation in the Middle East that can be considered social liberal is the only nation with a true democracy,

    sigh. I guess it's a sign of the times that a country without a Constitution can be considered a democracy.

    the only nation that willingly accepts members of other religious into their borders as citizens, and the only nation that has supported an American nation through thick and thin for 50 years.

    Where have you been? Members of a certain religion are severely segregated and treated worse than Southern blacks in past years. Their homes can be taken, demolished or appropriated for Jewish settlers. Their crops are destroyed. They cannot freely travel the roads. They cannot freely travel out of the country without coming "home" to find their houses destroyed, or finding they are unable to even re-enter the country. "Israel currently has 223 Jewish-only settlements and ‘outposts’ built on confiscated Palestinian land. Palestinians do not have any settlements on Israeli land."

    This is just for starters. Go here to find out more:

    And what, pray tell, has Israel done to support America? Do you have any idea how much money and military hardware we have given Israel since 1948? Nevermind the interest free loans. What have we gotten in return?
