An early fight with the new House of Rep is about putting the aid, all of which is military with onerous strings attached, into the DoDefense budget. Glick notes that is how the U.S. handles South Korea aid, which I did not know. <br /><br />I hope that change happens, if only to stop that whining. I think Israel would prefer to be freed of the military aid tie, but I also believe that the U.S. military really depends on the alliance with Israel. It begs repeating that the fate of the Suez Canal and all adjacent sea lanes depends on the US and EU having ONE reliable ally, Israel. <br /><br />It bothers me that so many do not see this strategic geography as a core interest.<br /><br />Even when I do not comment, I always enjoy reading your blogposts.<br /><br />Keep up the good fight! <br />K2KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067977173951690762.post-77031413341024984832010-10-30T10:08:00.769-07:002010-10-30T10:08:00.769-07:00congrats on your comment.

Your comment#22 is currently in second place for reader's recommendations.<br /><br />My comment is stuck in the moderator queue, ten hours later. Must be taking a long coffee break. Or, perhaps I went too far with my point about Ramat Shlomo :) (I almost included "Captain Crunch" in my comment, but it did not fit my mood at the time)<br /><br /><br /><br />K2K: <br />"Why would Russia or China, support such a Security Council resolution?<br /><br />Even if one passed, would it be enforced as well as UNSC resolution 1701? Wherein Hezbollah is no longer an armed militia inside Lebanon?<br /><br />Would American troops physically remove Jews from their homes in the north Jerusalem neighborhood, but east of the 1967 armistice line, of Ramat Shlomo?<br /><br />Who would be the head of a Palestinian State? Would they dare to have elections?"<br /><br /><br />K2KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
