we should pull support for israel and let the middle east sort itself out (aka get wiped out by israel)

LOL @ shaggy.

The irony is...Israel could wipe out any nation in the world if they wanted...yes including the United States.

the only reason israel even bothers to feign interest in the peace process is they know if they dont, the US can just pull support. if the US pulls support anyway they dont have any reason at all to use diplomacy. if they actually are the genocidal crazies you claim them to be they'll simply go to war with their neighbors when it suits them. if you honestly think that any of the surrounding nations pose a military threat to israel you're completely naive.

If war is inevetable i'd rather it go down without our support is all.

If you think Israel poses a thread to surrounding neighbors without the military technology of super powers then you are naive, sir.

So if what you say happens...Israel loses its military support from the United States...so apart from what they already have...they lose their advantage of military superiority. But that will never happen because Israel/Jews will probably in return pull support in the United States government/economy and you'll watch your economy collapse more so than it already has.

israel doesn't need the US's military backing to have supremacy. Their existing army and equipment are plenty to defeat anyone near by with no problems. The only thing they'd have to deal with is suicide bombings which they'd take care of by simply obliterating surrounding civilian targets.

/facepalm

I guess a few thinks you over looked is that their existing equipment requires things like ammunition, spare parts, fuel...just to name a few.

yea and im sure they have plenty in stock. They also have the ability to manufacture their own ammunition and spare parts for alot of their equipment (considering they designed or helped design alot of it)

No combat-related American deaths in December.

Well that makes it all better.

^ No, I was simply relaying some good news--no need to be pissy.

There was this thread

I think it was started by me

And it was saying the opposite of almost everyone here about Iraq.
