Not at all it hurts Israel tremendously, the only thing Israel gained from every single peace deal was dead people, and destruction. Israel is like a junkie for American money if they would tell America no next time America offered money they would be much better off, they pay AMerica back with blood, rockets from Gazi, evacuations etc.

But how come you don't complain about us funding all of Israel's enemies too?

If your point is money how come you don't complain about the billions we give to Muslim states (more than Israel gets)?

On most measures that would define America as a great nation, we are declining. The problem is that too many people on both sides just care about their ideologies and not the actual facts of the the situation.

I would support Israel taking back the Sinai and expanding it's borders if only we wouldn't have to pay for it. We should cut off ALL aid money, to not only Israel, but all other nations as well. I'm confident after Israel's performances in all it's wars that they can take care of themselves. They don't need our protection.

Things go back and forth in different places. SOME countries do die but others; when dealing with hard times, become STRONGER. IMHO the US WILL be better although it might be when I'm dead since I 'm pushing 50 in 2014.

I would love for America to cut off Israel (actually I would prefer Israel to say no to America)

I was specifically asking this to the majoun.

In terms of what ever you desire in a place to live.
This question is specifically nonspecific because each person values different things.

I wish there were hybrid answers. I choose B and then A, because I think both parties (actually the same party) have ruined her by chipping away at our rights, while taking more and more power for themselves.

The fact that the independents and especially the libertarians are growing so fast scares the hell out of both sides. This fact gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, and hope for the future.

I was going to say. Israel has been put between a rock and a hard place because of the US puppet masters.
