What Should The U.S. Do?
Everyone must understand that the U.S. does not have an easy decision that can be simply answered then moved on from. This issue between Israel and Palestine is complex and has many consequences no matter which side the U.S. takes. That is why in my opinion we should choose to support Palestine. No waiting for diplomacy between them because it's been at least a decade and no long lasting agreement has been found. Israel clearly has a Superior military and left alone, let alone supported by the U.S, would destroy Palestine. However, if Palestine becomes a state backed by the UN then Israel will have to deal with them diplomatically or face the UN. from the U.S.'s perspective, of we take Palestine's side our relationship with Israel will be severely hurt maybe even destroyed, and Israel will most definitely attack Palestine. On the other hand if we take Israels side most of the world will hate us and Palestine won't stand a chance. In the end if both options lead to violence, then the morally right decision should be made.

I totally agree with everything you said in this post. I also agree that no matter who's side we take, the relationship will suffer or even be destroyed.
ReplyDeleteNow that I have read your view I agree and take back my no. Either way there will be a war.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is a "black and white" morally correct decision. Letting a group of people splinter off a larger nation and become independent is not always the most prudent or moral choice. Although I agree, there will be violence either way but I believe the U.S. should stick with its old allie, and "top dog" of the region, Israel.
