In short, the creation of the state of Israel may have made sense at the time. The prevailing circumstances today, however, do not justify the continued support for Israel against all odds. It is time the West reconsidered its policies and cut its losses. For America, it is time to do what is best for the Americans first, not for the Israelis, a cry that is being heard more frequently lately. Perhaps with the help of the United States, Israel can strive to assimilate within the Middle East. It could become a good friend and neighbor to Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the rest of the Arab and Muslim world. It could use its superior technology to help the people in those countries develop and prosper and enjoy better lives.
If nothing is done, the future is certain to cost even more while the future of Israel as a state in the Middle East will remain less and less certain.
