Dialogue is critical but only after the the crippling of the Iranian nuclear threat..There is a time to talk and time for action. The survival of Israel comes first.

its seems like the only reason the U.S. helps us is because the jewish lobey in the U.S. helps them get elected? if we jeprodize their elections why would they help us? remember obama 3 years ago, after he already got elected? it didnt seem like he gave two Sh*ts about us!

So who benifited the most from Osirak attack ? Obviously America, they were able to throw Saddam out from Kuwait & invade Iraq easily. If Saddam had a few nukes, he would have been the Emperor of the Middle-East by now !

Seems like quite a big dude.

An Australian telling Israeli's about the dialog with the Americans. This is ridiculous. The stupid war game scenario should have included the amount of death the Iranians would sustain in the simulation as well, but I understand that it would start the Muslims howling. I hope, that if or when WE decide to go deal with the Iranians , in tandem with the Israeli forces, that we prove the simulators wrong. I have a son now in the USMC, (3rd generation Marine) and Im sure he will volunteer to go if asked, or not asked. Lets do what we can to minimize the death of both our nations, and smash the hell out of Iran's nuke structure as quickly and powerfully as possible. Lambert, dont you have a sheep calling you for something...Who are you to tell us who "comes first" when both nations,(not yours) are working together for the same common cause. Moron.

There is close to 70% support for Israel among Americans, yet only 3% of Americans are Jewish.

OR hundreds of thousands dead and a muslim america is we americans do nothing but express fear .... fear of doing something and having hundreds dead. we lost 57,000Americna in viet nam we lost 4,500 Americans in iraq not to mention the hundreds of thousands of injured and permenantly disabled Americans NOW we do nothing for fear of upsetting the trash of the middle east and losing hundreds? what happened to AMERICANS ? israel is best going alone, answrring to no one and decimating the enemy mercy to the enemy throughout history, only brought death to the merciful.

Unlike the physical and moral midget Dempsey.

...that you misspelled ignorant. Fitting irony. But to answer your question, America supports Israel because of 1. shared values 2. Israel helps keep America safe as its only truly reliable ally in a very important region.
