The jews in our government love Israel. There is absolutely no reason why we should give so much money, technology, and weapons to Israel. It's only creating an arms race in the middle east.

The Jews in our government? Wow... you're extremely bright, aren't you?
It has nothing to do with anyone in our government being Jewish. I'm not going to explain to you why we support Israel, because obviously you should do some heavy reading yourself.

Plz just give one good reason why we support Israel.
Obviously you don't know how the country became to be.
Or how many people they displaced making their country.
Or how many other countries were upset with the making of Isarel.
Or how many nukes Israel has, yet they have not signed the same nuke treaty they want Iran to sign.
There has always been turmoil in the Middle East, but giving Israel back to the Jews only enraged the surrounding countries even more.
I'll stand by my statement. This is the same thing has Iran supplying weapons to Hamas and Palestine people. yet we can all agree that is wrong.
How is this any different? Isarel doesn't want peace, neither does Iran.
Now Isarel's enemies need to buy more anti-aircraft defense, and anything else they can get their hands on to defend themselves.
AN ARMS RACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
