I hope Israel wins all its battles and its long war with terrorists. Long live Israel!
Even so, it was a big mistake to support Zionism pre-1948, and a big mistake to create Israel in 1948. (It would have made more sense to carve out a Jewish homeland in the middle of defeated Germany after World War II.)
Still, we do not live in an ideal world; we have to cope with the world as it actually is. And Israel is a true ally of the United States, unlike most of the other countries in the Middle East. We were not attacked by crazed Israelis on 9/11, but by crazed Arabs.
We should stop giving foreign aid to Israel, except insofar as the aid directly enhances our own security.
I do not see a comparable argument for continuing foreign aid to Egypt. In fact, it appears that most Egyptians have a very low opinion of America.
We should not sell any weapons to Arab nations while we are fighting the war on terror. We should continue to sell weapons to Israel as long as the technology of those weapons stays in Israel and does not enhance the technology of any of our adversaries, such as China.

100% agree. Also since Israel is one of the few places where Arabs can enjoy a democratic vote, the survival of Israel in that region is a glowing example of Human rights in an area where Human rights is precious scarce indeed
