Why Is Israel Unethical
Israel has been committing crimes in the Middle East, and the United States has done little to stop it. Ever since Israel’s founding the United States has supported them, that being in times of war and in times of peace. The US was even the first major country to recognize the state of Israel as an Independent country. Israel even has the support of the United States during some of their crimes against the Palestinians. This is because of the US foreign policy against Israel is biased.
The United States currently gives Israel $3.1 Billion dollars a year in support (Bowman and Bourassa). “Israeli military -- one of the most sophisticated in the world and the largest beneficiary of US foreign aid -- but by the relative status of Israel as an economic powerhouse next to the poverty of the Palestinians.” (Pearson). The aid money that goes to Israel most likely goes straight to the Israeli military who have because of this one of most sophisticated militaries in the region. In turn the Israeli military uses to fight off their poverty stricken neighbor's, Palestine. Instead of the United States assisting the poorer Palestinians, the US spends its money fighting them (Bowman and Bourassa).

With Israel being one of the if not only democracy in the Middle East the United States should protect it to keep the influence of democracy in the Middle East (Issitt and Montanee-Muhinda). Israel currently has the strongest right to the Palestinian territory due to its ancient ties with the lands. That territory being on the foundation of the ancient kingdom of Israel. This claim is backed up by multiple texts including the Bible and many other religious texts (Bowman and

    Six-day War and Israeli Military Leaders

    The role of the US was also a crucial reason why Israel survived. The USSR and US were greatly involved with the Yom Kippur War as the USSR sent arms to Egypt and Syria and the US organised a massive airlift to Israel, which contributed to the military power they already had. Another reason why the US supported the Israelis was because they had similar political aims. They were against the spread of communism and the US was also resistant to the expansion of the Soviet Union. After the Suez crisis, the United States became…

    What Is America's Role In The Holocaust

    Adolf Hitler killed six million Jews in Europe between the years 1933 and 1945. Hitler, however, could not do this without help. American laws and policies made escape to America nearly impossible, and her silence emboldened the Nazis to continue the persecution of European Jewry. The Zionist organization displaying excessive loyalty to England, their rulers in Israel, hampered many rescue missions. I accuse these countries and organizations of being partners in crime with Nazi Germany. By their silence, and by their conduct they helped kill many millions of Jews. America, Zionism, and Germany killed six million Jews in Europe between the years 1933 and 1945.…

    Funding for the Military

    Israel depends on the United States for protection against the surrounding countries. Israel receives $2,799,500,000 in military aid from the United States in 2010 (United States military aid). That money was then used for protection for their civilians and military personnel from terrorist organizations that are bent on the destruction of Israel, such as Hezbollah. (Hala Jaber, Hezbollah Born With A Vengeance, New York, Colombia University Press, 1997) Due to Israel being such a small country, the money given to Israel is vital to its continual existence because it is unable to raise enough funds to support the Military and the Military equipment that is so badly depended upon. Counties usually use their Military (or their Military aid) to keep their civilians safe, in Israel as well as in the U.S.…

    United States involvment in the Middle East

    The involvement of the United States in the Middle East is a vast subject. The U.S. has been in many conspiracies including aiding with weapons to Egyptian, Libyan and Syrian rebels. Ever since the 9/11 attacks on U.S. soil the United States started a campaign against terrorism as well as making Middle Eastern countries follow the democracy that to us is the type of government that everyone should follow. Although U.S. officials did not want to admit it, Mubarak was captured because of the U.S. involvement. Also the Libyan leader was taken down due to the encouragement that the United States gave rebels. Due to the fact that the United States is the world’s super power it has to show its power and interfere with tyrants that are causing harm. Along with the United Nations, the United States acts as a police force that protects the world from any type of situation. The over throwing of leaders in Egypt and Libya were products of…

    Six-Day War Research Paper

    Early on, the U.S. had developed a "well-organized pro-Israel constituency  thus becoming a major player in the creation as well as the keeping of the state of Israel. In the early 1940s President Franklin Roosevelt declared that "no decision altering the basic situation of Palestine should be reached without full consultation with both Arabs and Jews.  No matter how vague, this statement was the first of its kind that officially stated a policy and even a role in the conflict between the current Palestine and the future Israel. Later in 1947 during the Truman administration, the U.S. began the creation of Israel by helping to pass the partition resolution and then became the first country to recognize Israel as a legitimate state. One theory has been developed by Stork that the U.…

    How Did The Palestinian Land Take Over By Israel?

    On the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Palestinian land has been increasingly taken over by Israel for years. An extremist Jewish group called the Zionists, emerged in the late 1800s , seeking to find a homeland for the Jews, and searching in both Africa and the Americas before finally settling on Palestine. This did not appear as a problem or threat at first but as many more Zionists immigrated to Palestine with the intention of taking over the land to create a Jewish state, fighting broke out with the Palestinians, increasingly surging with Hitler’s rise to power during World War I. To this day, Palestinians have very minimal control of what mere land they have left, especially with Israel’s military forces using extremely oppressive methods.…

    United States Foreign Policy with Israel

    The United States foreign policy with Israel is a way for the United States to gain more power in the Middle East. This relationship has had its up and downs. The United States is able to support Israel, but also have a friendship with the Arab states, Israel’s main problem . The United States wanted to balance its growing interest in the Arab states and also its fellow ally Israel. The foreign policy and treaty that the United States had with Israel was more so a better idea in the past then in present time. Despite the downfall of the benefits from this policy, it still did its intended job . The United States has been trying to play peacemaker in the middle east (including the invasion of Iraq) whether its successful or not. The U. S. wanted to control expansion of the Soviet Union and believed this policy would ensure this. The U.S. also wanted to ensure that the industrialized countries had easy access to the petroleum sources that the Middle East had. The final reason for this foreign policy was to spread democracy throughout this territory and the Middle East.…

    The Yom Kippur War

    They slowly succeeded in pushing back their invaders. The United States sent aid to help Israel in their war effort. They sent over twenty two thousand tons of equipment to Israel in a one month period. This aid could have been the deciding factor in the Yom Kippur War. Without the United States of America’s help, Israel may not have been able to push back the invasion and regain their territory. It is also possible that the Israelis were already succeeding in their war effort before the United States decided to aid them. It could have just been President Richard Nixon’s way of saying that they will help the Israelis to oppose the Soviet Union, who were supporting the Arab nations. Either way, the aid was at least helpful in the final victory of Israel over Syria and…
