[QUOTE="Darkman2007"] 3 billion meant alot 40 years ago , not now.John_Coffey

I don't understand this line.

3 billion dollars wasn't the sum of aid money 40 years ago.

He means in terms of inflation 3 billion isnt worth that much anymore. Although I dont entirely agree with that sentiment as it is still a considerable sum.

actually I meant it more in the sense that Israel was a much smaller country 40 years ago , in terms of economy., so those kind of sums actually meant more then. at the same time, the US wasn't giving Israel a huge amount of money at the time (with the exception of the airlift in 73, which in Israel was considered a shameful debacle). the actual aid to Israel proper, began in 1979 following the peace with Egypt (the US got both to agree by promising aid to both countries) , but at the time it was 1.8 billion , so its really just increased in accordance with inflation.

Iraq....GWB wanted to finish what daddy started and used the WMD as a reason....Afghanistan was where Bin Laden and Al Qaeda were and as they were responsible for 911...there you go. Neither was for Israel. You need to come back to reality. They were done for US interests and US interests alone.

"Your government"?

We just showed you that foreign aid pays for little less than 3% of governmental spending, and at the current state- it would make for a lower percentage of revenue- as the Israeli government has been accumulating surpluses over the past couple of budget years (unlike, unfortunately, the US).

I'm here mostly to correct gross factual errors, not "give you crap" for anything. Stop being wrong, and I wouldn't have to correct you.

What a simplistic view you have of the world. 911 was not about Israel. It was about the US and what some individuals perceived as meddling in ME interests. But not the Israel issue per se. Do you read anything substantive or get everything off of biased youtube videos?

not really, Im sure that might have been an inspiration from one angle, but really what upset Bin Laden more was the fact there were US troops on Saudi soil in the Gulf War , that was what caused him to declare a war. not that Im saying the US should or should not have been in the first Gulf war, thats a different matter.

thats true i should probably read some books instead of listen to the fact, that the 911 hijackers, said they attacked on 911 because of our support of israel.

but why listen to the single source that knows why they attacked on 9111, when i can read yur dumb books or something?

They said a lot of things...like Airbases in SA too...so it's not's just Israel as their rationale.

Even then that doesn't mean we are fighting wars for Israel...we are fighting wars because we were attacked. I don't agree with the reasons for war in their totality, but the idea we are fighting these wars on Israel's behalf is absolutely delusional.

Instead of dealing with how much of a collaborative incentive the US aid to Israel was in the 9/11 incident- why don't you tell me how going to war over it demands Israeli gratitude.

Or, better, how did these wars benefit Israel?

its not even that, the first attack on the WTC , happened after the Madrid conference, where the US tried to solve the problem , against the wishes of Prime Minister Shamir I might add, so in alot of ways the "support for Israel" is just an excuse. they will continue to say it, unless the US decides to nuke Israel pretty much (thats a lack of support as far as they are concerned)

You aren't making statements of facts, you are using a fact (what the terrorist said) and inferring that's what the US's motive for war is (fighting them on behalf of Israel). That's false, though, and it doesn't even make sense.

Beyond that, you are being dismissive with the facts as 9/11 motives included other things like airbases in SA and sanctions against Iraq (from the first Gulf War, no less..was that for Israel too dummy?). They had their beef with the US with or without US support for Israel.

of course they helped Israel, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan removed the two close threats to Iran , which as we all know is Israel's best friend and would love to shower it with flowers .... oh wait :P

The US government knows the reasons the US was attacked. There was more than one reason by the way. But youtube must not mention them right? Like I said...you have a simplistic and naive grasp of the situation. The simple fact is the US is NOT fighting to help Israel. They are fighting over self interest. IE... physical attacks by AQ terrorists to the US. PERIOD. Take away those attacks on the US and do you really think we'd be fighting AQ now? Seriously dude.....employ even a little logic.

how about the fact the US had troops on Saudi soil in the Gulf War ? which caused Bin Laden to declare war on the US how about the fact the US is an ally of the Saudi government, which Al Qaeda opposes how about the fact the US supported the likes of the Mubarak regime and others in the region which Al Qaeda opposes. Im not saying those things are necessarily good or bad things to do , but trust me, Al Qaeda would have found one reason or another to attack the US.

Us was attacked because of our support of israel, terrorists made it clear.

im not making any statement other than the facts.

SauceKing

They listed several reasons. If USA didn't support Israel it wouldn't have changed anything So why did you bring it up then?

the support of israel was their main reason.

It was a whole Fatima of reasons they had against the US...and they've attacked us in the past over the other things not dealing with Israel...too so you have no ground to stand on to say it wouldn't have happened if not for our support of Israel.

Even then this is all pointless because your logic doesn't even make sense...the motives of the attackers does not mean the US is fighting wars on behalf of Israel. A big part of it was the first Gulf War, and that had NOTHING to do with Israel.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Dense? I'm reading your words. If they are wrong...then they are wrong on your end. Nonetheless, there is much more to the situation than your simplistic and naive assertion that it was over Israel. Even were that true....which it's not.....we are fighting because they attacked us. Not about Israel but about an attack on US soil. Period. Wrap your head around that.Darkman2007

wrap my head around what? al queda made their intentions pretty clear. But thats right, they all lied and were attacking america for some other reason, right? A reason only you know about... you should probably share your info with the usa government.

how about the fact the US had troops on Saudi soil in the Gulf War ? which caused Bin Laden to declare war on the US how about the fact the US is an ally of the Saudi government, which Al Qaeda opposes how about the fact the US supported the likes of the Mubarak regime and others in the region which Al Qaeda opposes. Im not saying those things are necessarily good or bad things to do , but trust me, Al Qaeda would have found one reason or another to attack the US.

Don't forget the sanctions against Iraq

Yeah three main reasons......but that doesn't have anything to do with why the US is fighting. The US is fighting not for Israel as you explained.....but because of the attack itself. And AQ was going to attack anyway....US in Saudi Arabia was a very big deal to AQ by the way. That alone would have garnered their enmity.

like I said, they had more than one reason , and that was just one of them , they would have attacked you anyways. and you still didn't answer the question posed to you by others : how were the wars against the Taliban and Iraq beneficial to Israel in some way, if anything , they made things worse as they helped the Iranians, not Israel.

No.

Bin Laden interpreted the Prophet Muhammad as having banned the "permanent presence of infidels in Arabia". In 1996, bin Laden issued a fatwā calling for American troops to get out of Saudi Arabia. In 1998, Al-Qaeda wrote, "for over seven years the United States has been occupying the lands of Islam in the holiest of places, the Arabian Peninsula, plundering its riches, dictating to its rulers, humiliating its people, terrorizing its neighbors, and turning its bases in the Peninsula into a spearhead through which to fight the neighboring Muslim peoples." In a December 1999, interview, bin Laden said he felt that Americans were "too near to Mecca", and considered this a provocation to the entire Muslim world. /quote

People are QUOTING THE ATTACKERS...including Osama Bin Laden. They have also attacked us in the past over issues not related to Israel.

Get a grip already.

because I know the nature of such people, and frankly they had more than one reason to attack you, using Israel as an excuse is also a recruiting tool , since pretty much anything Israel related can bring together a crowd chanting "death to the Jews" in alot of the Muslim world but again , how did these wars benefit Israel , youre avoiding the question

how does a democratic and passive iraq not benefit israel? Or was iraq more stable under saddam?

or the peace agreements with egypt and asudi arabia... negotiatiated by the US... none of this helps israel.

in 2003 , Iraq was no threat to Israel , in fact it was a counterweight to Iran. right now, a free and democratic Iraq , has brought the Shia majority of Iraq to power, which means greater influence for Iran in Iraqi politics. so if anything, the Iraq war was worse for Israel. not that Saddam was any great friend of Israel , he was a sworn enemy , but fro Israel's point a view , its better to have a sworn enemy thats weak , thats fighting another sworn enemy, than the current situation or an Iran that has more regional influence than before.

whats my mistake, did we bargain peace treaties with egypt and saudi arbia? gonna throw that into the "was not a threat" category.

ITs childish to keep pretending at this point.

I'll send the president a letter. In terms of making a statement, it isn't much but at least he'll know where I stand. Anyway, I don't think Obama would order them to be shot down. If Israel does make the first move, I would hope the president makes it clear that the U.S. will not support them.

Israel is an enemy state of Saudia-arabia.

The Israeli-Egypt peace deal benefited everybody- the Egyptians included. the aid to Israel (and the one to Egypt) are the "rewards" offered to both nations in return.

1 ) there is no peace treaty with Saudi Arabia, only with Egypt and Jordan. 2) how does helping to negotiate a peace treaty in 1979 and 1994 have anything to do with the war in Iraq or Afghanistan? again , youre just trying to blame Israel for everything under the sun.

Wow. You aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer are you? If you can't see what the motivation was for Bin Laden.......and believe me US presence was a big one...then I don't know what to tell you. Seems you have a bias and will disregard anything that doesn't fit into that bias. Which means you aren't worth the time of day. There is no excuse for ignorance. Do some education. Then get back to me....
