What a small little selfish world you live in. As long as I've got personal peace and prosperity that's all I care about. As I said before even if Israel disappeared tomorrow Hamas, osama hasbin lada and their ilk would STILL hate us and wish to see us and the rest of the west destroyed.

You don't know what bin Laden would be doing absent US support for Israel. And you're the selfish one risking my life and the lives of all Americans for your egomania. What good reason is there to risk our lives to maintain an Israel on that land? No one has come up with one rational reason yet on this thread. Every time something comes up in the Middle East, our government's big headache is keeping Israel under control lest they make matters even worse, so don't say they're an ally.
