Steve at BachTalk.net makes a great point in this recent post from his blog.

I heard the director of public relations at the Saudi Arabian Embassy speak today.
…
He then pointed out that there are/were only two countries in the world in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions: Iraq and Israel. The U.S. invaded Iraq for being in violation of 16 Security Council resolutions, yet we provide hundreds of millions of dollars in aid and relentless support for Israel.

You know, I really wish more people would listen to what Arabs from the middle east, or even the terrorists themselves list as the reasons that they hate us. Our unrelenting support for Israel, their not-so-innocent mortal enemy, always seems to be at the top of the list. Other reasons, provided by Bin Laden, include US troops being stationed on their holy soil, and UN sanctions that had been imposed on Iraq, resulting in the death of thousands.

Funny, “our freedoms” never even make the top 10.

The foreign policy decisions of the United States government for the past 30+ years is the reason that we are losing our freedoms to this “war on terrorism” today. Every time we provide foreign or military aid, we are choosing a side, potentially creating an enemy. Every time our military kills an innocent Arab, we are creating new terrorists.

Our foreign policy of interventionalism is fueling this worldwide hatred of our country! How many terrorist attacks occur in Switzerland??

Stopping our aid to Israel would be a great start to reducing terrorism. Fighting terror with war only plays into the hands of our enemies, delivering them more recruits and guaranteeing that this “war on terror” will never end.
