Video: Uri Avnery - Should the US Arm Israel?

Published April 22, 2009 @ 09:24AM PT

Solidarity activists claiming that the US should stop giving weapons to Israel are easy to find. Careful, cautious, realistic policy analysis on the topic is not so common.

Enjoy.

No I do not think Americans should armed Israel in order to create a genocide of muslims and christian Palenstines people.

the question should also be asked " Didn't USA funded Hitler during the Holocaust?

George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.August Thyssen joined the Nazi Party.

So arming Israel is no different then what USA did for Hitler behind closed doors.

It is wrong and should not be done, because it is time people grow up and live the 2009 and not 1940's.

Heck! Isn't it an old tried & true American tradition to fund both sides of a conflict?

We buy oil from the Arab countries--so why not keep THEM from controlling the world--by keeping them in constant conflict with a smaller state?

The Almighty dollar is the only G-D of the USA.

Namaste! xo
