Pleeaassse wake up for fucks sake! Think about what you just said and think about such an alternate reality.. let me paint you a picture..

Israel doesn't exist..

What does exist is a middle east entirely dominated by dictators, absolute monarchs, meglomaniacs.. (as it is now with the exception of israel), billions of arabs & muslims living in poverty (as they do now) all living in fear of their leaders who never tolerate any kind of opposition or free speech..

The US is great friends with these regimes, supports them financially, militarily, does lots of business with them, makes the dictators richer..

All those impoverished, desparate, angry arabs will look for a target to vent their fury on.. an easy target.. one that wont arrest and execute entire families for the 'sins' of one.. guess who that target will be? That great democracy, the US of A..

Al Qaeda would still exist, they would still attack you.. the only difference is there is no Israel between the western world and 'the bad guys'. Al Qaeda's stated aim has always been to destroy the US - long before they ever talked about israel..

The fact of the matter is that the US has already supported ALL the corrupt and dictatorial arab regimes at some point in time and this is why they are hated! Do you really think a billion arabs all over the middle east give a fuck about israel or a handful of palestinians? Fuck no! Most of them probably don't even know where israel is! They care about the food on their table, the roof over their heads, their freedom or complete lack thereof and the US supported regimes that oppress them.

Actually this was a tactic first introduced to palestine by the british, israel just decided to continue the fine tradition.. if you can't stop your kids from strapping a bomb to their ass and blowing up a load of innocent civilians then accept the consequences.. you reap what you sow..
