Why does the world focus on US aid to Israel? Aren't there more important issues?

I'm a zionist, but i'll pick any question that's based on reasherched fact that's reaserched from relatively unbiased sources.

Also - My belief is the Israeli lobby is so strong becuase it is neccessary for the survival of the country - which has the right to exist because:

-It was created as a response to the holocaust-so jews would always have a safe haven, and for once, a non-cristian/muslim home. (no offense to either group)

-It is where the Jews were, until 2000 years ago

-The jews made the country-it was a wasteland before that, with only a few minor exceptions.

-It was a safe haven for the million jews who were being wiped out in arab countries - and are today all but forgotten.

-We destroyed iraq's only nuclear research facility, back in the '80s (bush was a bit late getting there.)

In response to the thing about pelistinians being "viewed as terrorists", not all are, But Hamas is a terrorist group! They're blowing up schoolchildren!

Also - there were almost no palistinains in the region until the zionists moved in. Please, both sides, read Faith and Fate, a history of 20th century judaica.

And most of the media doesn't support israel: ever heard CNN refer to hamas as freedom fighters?

To the first ignorant poster: the United Nations, composed of several nations made Israel a nation. People really need to learn history. It might also interest the poster to learn that Israel might not have become a state if it weren't for the hatred shown to them after they tried to rightfully claim their very own homes after the Holocaust.

The British imposed a severe limit on immigration right after the war. Many nations would not allow the Jews who were fortunate enough to survive to even reside in their very own countries! There was no choice other than to make Israel a state.

Before pointing a finger at the Jews, look at the situation surrounding the issue.

Land for Israel was stolen from Arabs who lived there in 1947, under pressure from UK, US and the UN. This is no place for your Zionist crap

I think there must be more important issues. Every time I go shopping a guy keeps saying big issue

you know, it's interesting how the Palestinians are viewed as terrorists in that region. It's amazing how some media make Israel look like the victims. But how can an occupying power be a victim? You can't have the power to occupy and repress an entire people, and also be the victims.

Because they are the only true first world nation in the middle east who is sensible enough to establish an alliance with. They are the only true military power in the middle east. I have heard, many times, that the Israeli Intelligence community and Air Force rivals that of the United States. We need them and they need us. That's why.
