My response to "The 51st state"

My comment to Nicholas Khoury's blog regarding "the 51st state".

Very interesting point he has made on his blog. Not that many people can realize that we are supporting Israel based on wrong reasons and wrong justifications. There are several reasons why we support Israel, the most important one as he mentioned, is that they are our only friends in the region and we need them to be able to stabilize the middle east (or at least this is what our politicians believe in). The other reason is that the Jewish community in the United States has so much power over our politicians, they are rich and that makes them influential. Newspapers and TV media are owned by the Jewish community and that makes them such a powerful "minority" in America.

Unfortunately, the american people don't understand what is the cost of this support. A lot of people might find it surprising if I say that 9/11 was indirectly caused because of our support for Israel. Arab community see us as the devil advocate that supports Israel, a nation that kills innocent Arabs. Our support for Israel has made middle east countries to hate us. Is it any wonder that middle east is the only region of the world that we are struggling with? We make a fool of ourselves by supporting a nation that ignores the United Nations and other international regulatories such as the Atomic Energy Agency. We support Israel no matter what they do and what they say and that is wrong. As a side note I should mention that I am proud to be an American no matter what but these ridiculous policies need to end soon for us to be able to maintain peace in the middle east and other parts of the world.
