It is very easy to sit back and point out the mishaps, incidents and atrocities of one country. Israel has served as America's friend and ally in the region for years. It was the Israeli Air Force that at the request of Richard Nixon helped defeat the PLO from overthrowing King Hussein of Jordan. It has also been a country that has been threatened by its neighbors for most of its existence. It is a pretty tough pickle to be in when all your neighbors have conspired to eradicate you off the face of the earth and the country still deals with groups that do not want peace but death. When you have to fight for your existence, sometimes you do the wrong thing.
What I find funny is the fact that we can look at the misgivings of any one country over the entire course of its existence, but we can't even look at the atrocities that our country has perpetrated. We are the only country to employ a nuclear bomb against another. We erraticated the culture and society of the Native American Indians. We put Japanese Americans, German Americans and Italian Americans in prison during WWII. And have done a lot worse.
Now, we are so worried that the Israelis have penetrated the defense department but this is not the first time and it wont be the last time. Israel depends on the United States and it has a vested interest in keeping tabs on what the United States will do to support its ally. What I find ironic is the fact that Cuban, Pakistani and Communist Chinese groups have contributed to political campaigns in this country. A gross violation of the law and very questionable contamination of our politicians.
