Does The USA Really Need Israel's Headaches?


Israel has been \a staunch ally for the USA in the Middle East. And for this, she has been enjoying the privilege of the latest munitions and military technology from the USA, to ensure her sovereignty and national security.

But this privilege has been taken for granted by Israel for many years now, and she is behaving like a spoiled child that is never satisfied with playing in her own backyard, or with her own toys. So she takes away some of her neighbor's toys (or lands), and accuses that neighbor of being a spoil sport, and a cheat.

Hesbullah has embarrassed Israel in the conflict in Lebanon in 2006 very gravely. So the current unpopular Israeli government is using this new military incursion by them, to punish Hamas and the Palestinians in general for that loss and national embarrassment. And at the same time, testing the political appointee to The White House come January-20-2009.

President Elect Barack Obama said publicly and in Israel, that he believes that if his daughters lives are threatened by anyone, then he deserves the right to retaliate, (or words to that effect). He also told Israel that he agrees with them in responding to Hamas whenever Israel and her citizenry are being threatened with death via suicide bombs or missiles.

But will Barack Obama maintain his position on Israel when he assumes The White House?

Would his administration allow Israel to KILL Palestinians en masse, whenever missiles are being shot into it's territories or cities?

And would Barack Obama continue to follow his predecessor, sit quietly and do nothing, while Israel commits ethnic cleansing or mass genocide on the Palestinian people unabated?
