I live in Denver, my friend. And no, Israel will not nuke anyone unless Israel itself is no more, as a result of foreign aggression. But use it they will, make no mistake, if only to go out with the bang.
I and the IDF? I feel honored being mentioned in the same sentence with Israeli Defense Forces; thank you.
Support them for what? They haven't done a damn thing for us. America first I thought. Keep the damn 3 billions so we can help our own citizens here. It's ludicrous that RWers demand more money from our allies for NATO yet keep shelling out tax dollars for Israel. They can fend for themselves for a change!
You want a more substantiated response? Here you go: “Israel today concentrates the genius of the Jews. Obscured by the prevalent media narrative of the “war-torn” Middle East, Israel’s rarely-celebrated feats of commercial, scientific, and technological creativity climax the Jews’ twentieth-century saga of triumph over tragedy. Today tiny Israel, with its population of 7.23 million, five and one-half million Jewish, is second only the United States in technological contributions. In per capita innovation, Israel dwarfs all nations. The forces of civilization in the world continue to feed upon the intellectual wealth epitomized by Israel. Today in the Middle East, Israeli wealth looms palpably and portentously over the middens of Arab poverty. But dwarfing Israel’s own wealth is Israel’s contribution to the world economy, stemming from Israeli creativity and entrepreneurial innovation. Israel’s technical and scientific gifts to global progress loom with similar majesty over all others’ contributions with the sole exception of the United States.” Excerpt From The Israel Test George Gilder
In other words, they can be self sufficient and don't need our 3 billions a year hand out. Thanks for proving my point.
Pretty much bullshit. In technological contributions Germany comes 2nd. 3rd is South Korea followed by Japan. Zth is China and 6th is France. UK follows 7th. Israel ranks at 13th place.
You are again continuing an argument with yourself that you created! It is so funny how people like you do that. I proved you wrong, you are now off from the middle east on some fantasy trip to Rotherham, enjoy!
Dr. Gauthier didnt say "Israeli occupation". Dr. Gauthier first and formost doesnt like the language spoken regarding to the conflict as it is spoken by people today. Dr. Gauthier said that the Jews in Israel are not settlers, as the Arabs reffered them, but they are there as of right.Dr. Gauthier said that to reffered Judea and Samaria as "Palestinian occupied territories is invalid" and as well he said that Judea and Samaria is "occupied Jewish terrirtories". Which means, it is territories belongs to the Jews, not Arabs. It's nice to see that you agree with me Ronstae on te menner that Judea and Samaria does not belong to the Arabs and they have no legal claim over it. We already disscused on the Elon Moreh subject, and I showed you by relying on the Elon Moreh case itself that you are wrong. But if you want again, I can show you from the Hague Convention itself that that convention is not been reffered to the case of Judea and Samaria. (Hint: The Hegue Convention, 1907, as it written in the preamble, it's goal it to maintain peace worldwide and to prevent war between two states.)
Ah! Even in your swayed, not very impartial listing, Israel is in the 13th place in the world in technological contributions... how's that for the people constituting less than 0.2% of the World's population? I'd say, it's pretty amazing
Did you know, most of the "handouts" Israel gets are in form of military contracts which they repay? And why do you want a war in the Middle East?
What is the objective of US military aid to Israel? This is from Congressional Research Service: ...the ability to counter and defeat any credible conventional military threat from any individual state or possible coalition of states or from non-state actors, while sustaining minimal damage and casualties, through the use of superior military means, possessed in sufficient quantity, including weapons, command, control, communication, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities that in their technical characteristics are superior in capability to those of such other individual or possible coalition of states or non-state actors... http://fas.org/sgp/crs/mideast/RL33222.pdf What does it mean? It means, was it not for US military assistance to Israel and if Israel was left to fend for itself, first idiot Arab country trying something funny with Israel, would get a nuke lobbed up its stoopid ass. By helping Israel, USofA keeps peace in the Middle East.
Well... you did say, technological contributions. But even the number of patents... for the country of 5.5 mln Jews being 13th in the world is pretty amazing.
