I've never thought of Israel as very good ally of the United States. Sharon lecturing us after 9/11 is one example. But, OTOH, how could anyone side with the Palestinians? They are close to the dumbest people on the planet. Instead of building schools, learn trades, and trying to advance there culture they just sit in the middle of a cesspool of there own making and throw it at anyone who gets near them. They just scream 'Israel, Israel, Israel.....' as if that's the solution to all their problems. But, if they somehow got rid of the Jews who would be next? The Christians..?
I'm not going to care about helping the Palestinians tell they first try to help themselves.
