Isreal has proven to be our best and most trustworthy ally in the area. 
If Isreal were to fall to the Arabs or the Russians, you could kiss the 
middle east goodbye. Secondly, Arabs have just as many rights in Isreal 
as do Jews, Christians, Blacks and ignorant reactionaries. Also, where 
do you get off saying that Isreal is an ARAB country? Support your points
much?

The civil rights violations in South Africa are blatant and fully 
documented. Having a state religion is not necessarily a violation of 
civil rights (ever hear of "One Nation Under God"?).

Your comment is an anti-semitic diatribe. You make no attempt to support
your assertions. Instead, you try to make us feel guilty for supporting 
freedom on the African continent.
