After reading the most asinine commentary on this blog talking about how we should quit supporting Israel I thought I should give my top ten reasons for supporting the Middle East's only western style democracy.
1. If the idiots on the left sabotage the mission in Iraq Israel will be the Middle East's only democracy.
2. Israel is America's only significant ally in the region and with the fifth most powerful army in the region it a pretty significant ally. Israel is our first line of defense against the terrorists in the Middle East. If something needs to get done in that region Israel can get it done. Remember the destruction of nuclear weapons facilities in Iraq and Syria by the Israeli air force?
3. Israel is a valuable trading partner. In 2007 alone the U.S had over $30 billion of trade with Israel. It also has a vibrant economy it has the third most NASDAQ listed companies of any country in the world and it has a higher per capita GDP then the UK.
4. Israel is the only place where the Jewish people can live as a majority without fear of persecution. To want to take that away from them is simply anti-Semitic.
5. Israeli scientists are among the best in the world. Israel has produced more scientific papers per capita then any other nation in the world.
6. Israel has been a reliable friend to the United States. After terrorists attacked our African embassies Israeli rescue teams arrived withing 24 hours and saved the lives of three people.
7. Here's one for the leftards: Israel is one of the most environmentally friendly nations on the planet. It is the only nation that entered the 21st century with a net gain of trees.
8. Israel has greatly expanded the quality of life for its Arab neighbors. It provides them with health care and education for free.
9. Israelis are innovative and industrious. In a little more then half a century a group of refugees have transformed a desolate land of swamp and desert into a thriving nation.
10. Israel has been among the most forgiving nations in the world. Despite sixty years of invasions and terrorism Israel stands willing to make peace with all of its neighbors.

Young Activist is still young, perhaps as he matures and gains more life experience he will see the errors of his ways. Just look at a lot of the stoned age leftards, a lot of them have seen the errors of their ways and joined our side. Not to say that everyone can learn, but we shouldn't write off our young friend yet, he is exactly that young and brainwashed.
I have him buried! ALL GONE!
genesis 12
psalms 122
our blessings come from our love of israel, lest we poke the ALMIGHTY in the eye!
That's very true and for us I'm content with the Bible as all the evidence I need (I wish the leftards would pick up that book and read it every once in a while). Unfortunately there are a lot of people on the fence who we've got to persuade with secular reasons and since we don't have any short supply of those there isn't any shame in offering them.
