(2,730 posts)you do. And I don't think a lot of people see it as you do. The World is also looking at how the U.S. deals with the Israeli and Palestinian issue. This goes two ways. I don't see the Iranians attacking the United States or trying to gather intelligence off U.S. shores. Our interests in Iran is our interest to protect Israel.
The U.S. also has a problem not with just Iran in that part of the World but also with Pakistan,Gaza, etc.etc.etc. The U.S. could not stop other countries from recognizing the Palestinians. How easy do you think, the U.S. can get a coalition together, should Israel nd the United States decides to attack Iran for Israel's safety? This is a country that also continues to defy the U.N. under U.S. protection and refuses to open its own nuclear facilities for inspection. A nuclear program allegedly gotten with stealing from the U.S. decades ago.
It is essentially the same logic, the U.S. is using against Iran. I think the United States needs to start acting fairly across the Board in Foreign Policy. These people existed long before the U.S. even started meddling in their affairs. I'm going to put Israel on the spot. Now where would a country, that started out as displaced Jews under the Palestinian Mandate, before the U.S. became involved, years later become a nuclear state? Not only that, the said country only has an entire population of eleven million people, (nearly half Arabs) able to get finances and the material to support such a program? If you ask me, everything points to the United States Government turning the blind eye and what I call our own right wing extremists with their Democratic allies in Congress. We called it espionage, but made no attempts to sanction Israel. If they do have such a program, Where are they getting this material in a country, that was formerly Palestine, under British control? Where are they getting the money to support their military? I'm waiting for your answers?
