31. why spy ?
melchizedek ,   canaan   (03.27.10)
If Israel is the USAs' best friend why does it spy on it ?

The US asked us NOT to aid them, because the racist Arabs would hate them too. As for hurting your national security, only when you treat us as you have been does it harm America. Everybody especially the Arabs hate you, why you might ask. Well that too is simple you treat your enemies better than your friends. You abandoned Taiwan for Communist China, and where is South Vietnam today? Yes we would do better without you, and your military will suffer when WE stop supplying our technology which the US has given to China and the Arabs.

Israel cant fight alongside american troops because america is at war in arab countries if they did who knows what would happen from the reaction of the other muslim countries. in gulf war 1 israel wanted to fight iraq but was in a nice way asked not to enter instead they were guaranteed that america would help secure them from iraqi scud missle attacks .

Birdi ,   Israel   (03.27.10)
We hear you James. Thankyou for your support.
35. Peace?
galilean ,   Israel   (03.27.10)
How is it possible for Israel to sign a peace treaty with a people who do not recognize Israels' right to exist?
36. Sincere and naive analysis
Frank ,   USA   (03.27.10)
The author is trying to reason with evil. It doesn't work. Obama's goals are (1) to allow Iran its nukes, and (2) to degrade and destroy America's alliance with Israel, in favor of realignment with the arab/muslims. For Obama there is little "benefit", and certainly no "shared values" with the Jewish State of Israel. Israel's (and the Jewish people's) only hope is that he and his far-left "progressive" anti-Israel minions are voted out of office. In the meanwhile, Iran's nuclear program must somehow be dealt with. Most disgusting are the "progressive" "liberal" American "Jews", who share responsibility for electing an enemy of Israel, and even now, fail to stand up for Israel.
37. To the antisemites
Frank ,   USA   (03.27.10)
This article has drawn some of the most vile Jew-hating attacks imaginable. To all the Jew-haters posting here, particularly the "liberal" and "progressive" antisemites: We know you don't give a damn about the arab/muslims. This is a convenient way for you to express your hatred of Jews. Nazi Jew-haters and arab Jew-haters are bad enough, but the extreme hypocrisy of the "anti-Zionist" "liberal" and "progressive" Jew-haters is utterly despicable.
38. 37 Frank hit the nail square.

It is reprehensible that blatant anti Israel news reporting from Muslim propaganda has made Jews run for a closet. Lies are lies. I'm calling Arab and Persian media what they are....xenophobic anti-semetic propagandists. They have said anything and everything to make the product name "Israel"....reprehensible in the public's eyes. They might as well be running add campaigns against smoking. Hitler did it....and so are the Persians and Arab States. Say it long enough...as they believe....and it becomes the truth. Mind manipulation 101.
39. If you really feel that way 24# Then why don't you....
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (03.28.10)
vanish off of Y-Net and disengage with the Jews like a magician with a rabbit......Pooof !!!??? Why are you here whining all the time like a little baby? Hit the road if you hate Jews so much. We aren't holding you back.
40. Israel does NOT need the U.S. We are sovereign.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.28.10)
Israel must never forget that up until our great victory in the Six Days War of 1967, the U.S. was not our ally. America only became our ally after we proved our valour with our great victory. Until 1967, France was Israel's key ally. The same people who say Israel needs the U.S. would have said Israel needs France before 1967. America is an important ally but Israel does NOT need the U.S. We are a sovereign nation and must act like one. The stronger Israel is and acts, the better for us and the more desirable we become as an ally. Nobody wants a weak appeasing ally.
41. Don't listen to #6

The majority of Americans are in your corner, and Congress has got your back.
