Well then I think it's time for the US to rethink its friends Britain gave up the land at just the right time for the UN to snatch it and give it away. I think it was a bit wrong to do that and if anything, Israel should have been created somewhere in Germany. However they wanted to get their promised land, so that's what happened. I don't think any blame needs to be put on the UN, what's done is done, and there is no changing the fact that Israel will exist in the Middle East for a long time. I do think, though, that something needs to be done about how they treat their neighbors. The situation there is a never-ending circle: Israel treats Palestinian citizens poorly, Palestinians bomb Israel, Israelis level Palestine, repeat cycle. Just because you have the power to destroy a very much weaker enemy, doesn't mean you should. I'm sure the US could have leveled Afghanistan after 9/11 but at least showed some responsibility by realizing the entire country is not to blame for the attacks, and that it's possible to weed out a select number of people rather than air-striking universities. If Israel is such a good friend of the US, then it's up to the president of the US to teach them how to deal with these sorts of things. Obama has expressed interest in talking with Iran's president, and I hope he'll extend the same invitation to other leaders in the Middle East soon.
