This is the party line of the Israel First gang repeated over and over by the media. That does not make it true. We are a major customer for Arab oil and the Arabs have every reason to be friendly to us as they were for years. They have their interests and we have ours and they are not the same but that does not require enmity.
Our support of Israel has been a disaster for American interests and at the moment threatens our peace, our economy and our internal tranquility. The Israel Firsters simply don't care--they would sacrifice the US for Israeli advantage any day.
Our support for Arab countries has been a disaster for U.S. interests.
We have extended our hand in friendship to the Arab nations for decades. We send them billions of dollars in aid every year. We buy their oil. We prop up their regimes. We defended Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and, by extension, the U.A.E., Qatar, Bahrain and Oman from Saddam. Our support of Israel does not invalidate the support we've shown them and the goodwill, free money and commerce they've received from us.
How are we repayed?
They finance terrorism and fuel the propaganda that causes it, aiming at our closest ally in the region and daring us to stand beside that ally. You'd have us capitulate to these terrorists and abandon Israel.
Learn this: Arab leaders are using radical Islamic leaders who are using the Palestinian terrorists who are using children to murder innocent Israeli civilians.
This is a moral conflict. You're on the wrong side.
