Yes, I am, but to talk Israel, not sing Australia.
Why does a good chunk of the world hate the Israelis? And why should the US be allied with them?
Reason 1: They're stone-cold killers.
Let me be clear: Israelis scare me. They should scare you too, and if you don't know why, go read Vegeance by George Jonas. (Or, *sigh* you can watch the movie based off of it, Steven Spielberg's Munich.)
The country of Israel was established on May 14, 1948, as a refuge state for the Jewish people. It included about 8,000 sq. miles of the British Mandate for Palestine, including Jerusalem.
On May 15, 1948, Israel was invaded. By four countries. After a year of fighting, a mutual cease-fire was declared. They had not won, but they had kept the peace.
In the Munich Olympics, 1972, very early one morning, a terrorist group called Black September attacked the Israeli dormitories. A 275-lb wrestling judge heard the terrorists outside and tried to hold the door shut with his shoulder. Against 4 Palestinians.
The wrestler stood strong; the Palestinians got inside because the door bent around him. The terrorists knocked him out and shot another wrestler in the face.
He dropped to the floor, and got back up. They shot him several times in the stomach with an AK-47, which can literally tear people in half. He grabbed a kitchen knife, broke a terrorist's jaw, punched another, and slashed a third with the knife before a pullet in the forehead put him down.
Black September killed 11 athletes that day. Golda Meir, the prime minister of Israel, made a list of people behind the attack. Two years later, 8 out of the eleven on that list were dead.
June 5, 1967. Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia declared war on Israel.
June 5, 1967. Israel bombs the airstrips of all four of those countries.
June 10, 1967, Israel took 5 different territories from those four countries and ended the war.
I could go on; but I've made my point. Israelis are scary people, and thus, NOT people I want fighting against me.
2. They're God's people
They are, they always have been. It's clear, from their military history of the last sixty years, that they should have been wiped out multiple times. But they haven't been. Why? In my opinion, it's because God has declared Abraham's children as His chosen people. And my friend, if you want to oppose the Israelis and go toe-to-toe with God, that is fine with me. But count me out.
3. They do our dirty work
Israelis fight for survival. They always have, and always will. Whenever an American president makes a decision, he worries about the media, the political fallout, etc. The Israelis don't. There is no one they won't kill, nothing they won't do, to survive. And if we continue to assist them, then when our interests coincide with their interests, but it would be politically inconvenient for us to take action, then we don't have to; because they'll do it for us.
4. The alternative
The alternative (aside from declaring: "Y'all shoot it out, we don't care who wins!" The alternative is to side with the Palestinians. This list includes: Osama Bin Laden. Saddam Hussein. Muhammar Qaddafi, Anwar Al-Maliki, etc. I would personally much rather be aligned with the Israelis, no matter how much they scare me, than with that bunch.
