Why is USA supporting Israel?

I did a project on the Israel/Palestine conflict, and it disturbed me. The Palestinians are angry because hundreds of people were displaced when Israel was created. The Palestinians did not randomly begin attacking the Israelis, they did it because they were defending their land. Neither side has been innocent in this conflict, and both sides regularly target innocent civilians. By the way, it is Israel that is building the wall between them that the UN has tried to stop.

Why is the United States supporting them? Political reasons, plain and simple. Unfortunately, this is not the first time our nation has sided against humanity for political and economic reasons. Hell, we bombed Guatemala so we could continue importing bananas. http://www.mayaparadise.com/ufc1e.htm

The barbaric UN-resolution-violating, nuclear-armed, hyper-aggressive, theocratic, back-stabbing, underhanded, genocidal, terrorist, apartheid regime known as Israel has a very powerful lobby here, and some would go so far as to claim, perhaps rightfully so, that we are their lap dog. They use our power, money, troops, resources, media, etc to propagate their Zionist agenda around the world.

I think you need to do a little more research concerning human rights records of both countries. Plus, during the cold war, we'd have taken it up the butt without Israel. In short, screw palestine.

it is a democracy in a huge sea of islamic dictatorships

Palestinians have been offered peace but they kill israeli children

Palestine is not a country, it has never been a country

if people in the next county and fired rockets into you houses, schools and shopping centers , would you expect the government to stop them?

of course you would

the Israelis are living a peaceful lives then israel try to kill them and their children

the criminals can not be allowed to kill

So the USA supports a country that has criminals trying to kill their fellow citizens

we should support israel against the criminal israelis you call Palestinians

You should do some research on the subject before making an opinion.

ISRAEL ACTS AS AMERICA'S POLICEMAN IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND KEEPS THE MUSLIMS IN LINE EVERY SO OFTEN THEY GET OUT OF LINE AND ISRAEL GIVES THEM A GOOD 'SSKICKING AND STRAIGHTENS THEM OUT.

The cooperation between Israel and India, with U.S. blessing, is really destroying the peace and starting a new arms race in south Asia, due to such intensive Israel Cooperation with India, Pakistan and India came at the brink of war 3 times since 1998. These arms sales were part of a declared NDA policy to forge an alliance among India, the United States, and Israel

India is one of the 39 countries with whom Israel has signed “secret co-operative agreements” to prevent information leaks from joint security projects. India and Israel are two democratic countries who killed more than one million people on the name of insurgency from 1947 to 2008 (Kashmir, Assam, Palestine).

In the 2001-2006 India had purchased arms worth nearly $15 billion from Israel and has been its largest client for military hardware.2006 to 2009 $9 billion arms purchased by India from Israel. According to figures released in 2008 by the Israeli Defense Ministry India accounted for 50% of Israel’s military exports. The report “Wrong Alliance” from 1992 to 2001 states.

From anti-missile systems to hi-tech radars, from sky drones to night-vision equipment, Indo-Israeli defense cooperation has known no bounds in recent times.

Brajesh Mishra, outlined a proposal in a speech to the American Jewish Committee in Washington in May 2003 that India, Israel, and the United States should unite to combat the common threat of Islam. Israel is most probably behind the Indian parliament attack in 2002 and now in Mumbai terrors attacks of 2008 to accelerate arms sale to India and destabilize the integrity of Pakistan who is considered great threat to Israel security and stability. All three serving chiefs of India have now visited Israel in the last 2 years.

Israel Mossad have infiltrated in Jihadi Organization structures through Indian influence in Afghanistan to help and train them for starting a proxy war against Pakistan in Baluchistan and in FATA and plunge India and Pakistan to brink of war . There is already an on-going relationship between Israeli Intelligence agencies and their Indian counterparts. It is well known that Mossad routinely infiltrates even “friendly” intelligence agencies and uses them to plant information which helps Israel – one of such operations that Mossad is currently working on is codenamed “Clean Break.”

So what’s the reason behind defense ties between India and Israel?

Pakistan’s missile and nuclear weapon technologies are main concern to Israel. Pakistan is a supplier of intermediate-range missiles and if transfers this technology to boost its arm industry to countries like Iran, Libya, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Syria then Israel will be in serious problems – as stated by Efraim Inbar who is a professor of political science at Bar-Ilan University and director of the Begin-Sadat (BESA) Center for Strategic Studies Israel.

India helped Israel during the 1967, Middle Eastern conflict, by covertly sending military equipment to Israel. Before that in 1963, General Shalfid, Israel Chief of Army staff, visited India for discussions with his Indian counterpart. In the military field in India’s critical hour of need of the 1971 war with Pakistan, India sought Israel’s help to supply it with the devastating artillery weapon, 160 mm mortars and ammunition, exclusively manufactured in Israel.

India embarked on its nuclear tests with the support of the international community, namely the United States and Israel, because the US desired a nuclear force to balance China as a nuclear power in Asia and Central Asia. Israel benefited from this cooperation–according to some sources–by being permitted to conduct two nuclear tests on Indian territory, the components transferred on board an Israeli C130 military aircraft that landed in India two weeks prior to the tests. India also makes use of its nuclear cooperation with Israel in maintaining qualitative superiority over its enemy, Pakistan. This was stated by General Ahmed Abdel Halim a member of the Egyptian Council for Foreign Affairs (ECFA) in a Alhram weekly and included in a report called “Israel, India and the Arab World“.

During India’s 1999 Kargil war with Pakistan, Israel rushed military support to India, cementing the nascent defense relationship. Israel sent its laser guided missiles to India during the Indo-Pak Kargil war of 1999, making it possible for the Indian Mirages to destroy Pakistani bunkers in the mountains. Jane’s Defense Weekly, which gave details on the supplies, reported in March 2000.

Israel, the rogue nation & illegitimate child of America supplied missiles, portable radars & other weapons during Kargil War in 1999 as confirmed by Shri Rahul Bedi (India’s defense analyst) on BBC and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) – 8 in 1999 for surveillance purposes (Army) – 20 in 2000 during the Kargil war UAVs for high altitude surveillance, laser – guided systems and many other items were supplied within 24 hours ‘Indian Express’ July 3, 2000.
