  Why ?Isreal is not broke, does not have widespread famine or disease, so why does the US goverment fund the Isrealis ?~V''lion    ~V''lionBugle4d
  I probably shouldnt touch this one.  ;  *agrees with firahs*  ;  But I willIsrael needs bulldozers.  And bulldozers arent cheap, but they are effective in handling protests.  See?...Cynicism aside, Israel has no real economy and they've made lots of enemies in the region, which is suprising since they are so nice, but nevertheless.Israel is a "strategic ally" in the region, and they have a strong lobby in washington with lots of cronies in office, like perle and wolfy.  But, I think its best said, and I cant remember where this quote came from, I think a former US politician"Israel may be our only friend in the region, but before Israel, we had no enemies in the region"  Or something like that.[edited by - firahs on March 28, 2003 1:43:26 PM];quote:"Israel may be our only friend in the region, but before Israel, we had no enemies in the region" Or something like that.  Few of the people in the administration today were even born when Israel was created.They play the hands they are dealt.  ;quote:Original post by firahs  Israel is a "strategic ally" in the region, and they have a strong lobby in washington with lots of cronies in office, like perle and wolfy.

You see, isreal has a high jewish population, now, as we all know the Jews are very good with money, so it seems only natural that governements give them money for safekeeping.    --------------------------------------------Optimus Prime: Private Investigator!Oscar Mike Foxtrot Golf!
