    Meh israel does not provide any security anymore. If anything they make the region less secure and unified against America.

    Saudi is bending over backwards to keep supporting israel for America.

      No disrespect meant, but that is a factually ignorant statement to make. We regular people don’t see allot of whats going on in the background.

          No we just see israel committing Genocide after Genocide and destabilizing the entire middle east.

          Exactly. We don’t see all the behind the scenes stuff for security reasons.

          Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think any military/country is allowed to kill civilians to get to their enemies, ever. A country doesn’t get to use an ‘our enemies are in that population zone so we can destroy the population zone to get to them’ excuse.

          But there’s a lot of history, security wise, going on between America and Israel, that is not so easily dismissed.

            There’s plenty of videos of the AIPAC lobby bribing American politicians. As for the rest, even folks like Kissinger said that israel just exists to protect israel. Not American interests in the middle east.

              Have you ever heard of the word “oil”?

              They’re the most friendly nation in that area to us, even more so than the oil producing countries, and we rely on them for security for access to that oil.

                Not at all. Saudi and Egypt are already American dogs. If anything israel turns their population against the ruling class.

                  There’s a huge difference, security wise, between Israel, and Saudi Arabia / Egypt.
