general marshall also realized that israel would be more a strategic liability than a strategic asset. george marshall nearly resigned when truman told him he would recognize israel. truman did so in may of 1948, but only because his former partner in haberdashery was jewish and his 1948 reelection campaign was near at hand. george marshall knew that israel would cause us tons of trouble in the long run. he knew that the arabian peninsula was no place for a sectarian state of immigrants, smack dab in a land full of arabs. the fighting there has always been a source of instability to the world, both in military and economic terms. we've had two oil embargoes levied against our economy because of our support of israel, and now that rogue nation of 7 millon is armed to the teeth with a nuclear arsenal that includes hydrogen and neutron warheads as well as conventional atomic bombs. an evenhanded u.s. policy in the middle east would have vitiated even the possibility of 9/11. israel has put us into a position of having to threaten war against countries seeking to achieve about 10% of the arsenal that the israelis have long held. if we had had good relations with the arabs, oil prices would have been lower and our economy would not have suffered as many jolts as it has felt over the last 30 years or so. israel serves no purpose but to keep the whole world holding its breath, wondering if that enfant terrible will start w.w.3 if ever endangered with defeat by conventional armies. because of its small numbers and desire to ethnically cleanse its neighborhood, israel has started using chemical weapons against its enemies, namely white phosphorous and uranium tipped shells, both of which cause severe birth defects. no politician has the guts to stand up to israel, including kucinich. even entertainer bill maher, who ridicules religion and denigrates most of society's sacred cows, will not utter a single negative word about the zionist sate. imagine how soon he would be off the air if he started pointing out that israel is an oppressive state. oh, and bill has also bragged recently about how he has taken michael moore to task for the latter's critique of capitalism. now, there's a real limousine liberal for you!
