Because they aren't batshit insane like North Korea and Iran and they don't display a willingness to use them as Saddam did. Simply put, Israel isn't a threat to global security, peace and prosperity.

Since when is Iran a "batshit insane" country? When did they become a threat to global security, peace and prosperity?

Tell me, what exactly has Iran done?

When it became a dictatorship run by religious extremists who routinely threaten the west.

Go on.. What are these threats?

I find the "religious extremist" part really funny, when compared to the leaders in the West and israel. Talk about extreme views.

I havnt been really involved in this thread but this statement I find pretty funny.

There was the Arab-Israeli war. No aid. There was the 6 day war. No aid. There was the war of Yom Kippur. Not a whole lot of aid, but they did get aid once Israel started to win and after that, I can agree with you. But now since Israel has a ton of forces, just getting close to Israel will harm our air force like none other.

You really dont see the irony in this statement? Maybe you should look back a little further.

Are you talking about the irony that they use American Jets?

I can't think of a point in history where we weren't giving Israel aid.

You are wrong.
The Yom Kippur War would have ended in a nuclear holocaust and perhaps even WWIII, had the US not stepped in and given the Israelis A LOT of aid.
Only after receiving US aid during the war, did the Israelis have a chance to fight back and actually win the war. Before the US stepped in, things looked very bad for Israel.
Look at Wikipedia if you want more info:

I am Jewish, I am Pro Israel.

When another country, regardless of who it is, has a hatred towards another country because of a religious difference or political etc....you don't try to wipe them off the face of the map.

It is just a matter of time before Iran does get the bomb, when Israel has enough intel, trust me, it will be dealt with.

What bothers me would be the outcome thereafter, economy wise, just a good enough of an excuse to stop oil production.

I hate breaking silence just to correct this kind of shit.

Israel mobilized the reserves and had driven deep into Egypt and Syria before the US airlifted the first supplies. They were fighting multiple fronts and the combined supply chains of Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi, Syria, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Jordan and the evil hand of the Soviet Union. Not exactly a fair match. But who cares - they are just a bunch of Jews.

You can say a lot about Israel - but never that they can't fight their own battles.

I'm glad Israel won the war. I think Arabs need to accept the fact that the Israeli's are there to stay. But generally speaking wars are never fought fairly.

Initially American leaders expected the tide of the war to quickly shift in favor of the better-equipped IDF and that Arab armies would be completely defeated within 72 to 96 hours.American supplies to Israel until then had consisted of ammunition, particularly AT and AA ammunition.It became clear however by October 9 that no such quick reversal would occur, and that IDF losses were unexpectedly high.

I give Israel all the credit in the world for beating back three armies that launched a surprise attack that is nothing short of amazing. But ultimately I don't think it would happened without them starting off with our technology and our emergency replacement of material losses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Nickel_Grass which allowed sustainability for them.
