Israel for the most part are our only friends over there and they do have free speech. They have tried to live in peace and have bent over backwards to obtain it. Where ever they go they bring peace and good living to any people living in the land. That is why the Arab people don't want to be sealed off. They make a good living working in Israel.
The Arab leadership does very little to helping the suffering arabs. Where did the 50 billion go that we gave(USA) to help build hospitals, schools, etc. They use it for WAR,WAR,WAR. Israel stands for peace.
By the way many of my family friends are Jews in the USA military. So I don't know where that idea came from.
