Israel

Editor, Times-Union:

Hi, Mr. Young,

You said in a response earlier: "I don't care what the Jews do internally in Israel. What they do outside Israel (and outside the U.S.) should be controlled by the United Nations. The Jews and their supporters within the U.S. can send their money to Israel if they like, but the U.S. government should immediately and permanently stop funding Israel with U.S. taxpayer's dollars for giving them military assistance."

Does that also mean you insist that all the governments of countries assisting the enemies of Israel immediately stop funding and supporting the destruction of Israel? Until that happens, you can be sure that the United States will be there to help Israel. You can't have it both ways.

The U.S. supports Israel with military assistance as it should. When the United States fails to do that, I suspect that our own country will fall. Many of us believe that God's blessings are tied to countries that support Israel. Ask yourself: Why is it that Israel's enemies will only settle for the compete destruction of Israel even when it wishes nothing but peace? Israel's enemies don't want negotiation. They want Israel defeated, destroyed and removed from the face of the earth.

I believe the Times-Union editorial was right on target.

Best wishes, Mr. Young.
