Debanjan, you need to start reading more than just the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" and their modern day equivalents

You need to learn some history and to connect events logically, and not just refer to other bigots, like yourself; otherwise your next statement will be about Jews making matzos out of blood of Christian babies or about Zionists bringing Hitler to power and planning the Holocaust.

While you are on the subject of Iraq, then why do you think the whole U.S.-Iraqi friction has started? Don't you know that U.S. actually was supporting Iraq all through the 80's? Aren't you aware that U.S. was mad at Israel for having bombed the Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981 (or is this another example when U.S. was doing the fighting for Israel)?

And why do you think the U.S.-Iraqi relations went sour? Was it because of Israel or maybe it was because Saddam Hussein invaded his Muslim neighbor Kuwait in 1990? And Saudi Arabia became afraid that they would be next. And Israel was forced by the U.S. to silently tolerate Iraqi missile attacks without responding (in order not to risk the breakup of the American-Arab coalition against Saddam).

So the American sanctions on Iraq were not due to Israel at all -- Saddam has stupidly dug his own grave. And, as shocking as it may sound to you, you need to realize that Israel was also against American invasion of Iraq in 2003. They stated several times that they did not believe Saddam's WMDs posed a great threat.

Anyway, I doubt that you are trying to engage in a meaningful conversation -- instead you are simply trying to spill out your antisemitic hatred, like calling Israel an apartheid state, when about 20% of Israel's population are Arab Muslims enjoying all citizens' rights and better standard of living than in most Arab countries. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia does not allow a single non-Muslim to officially practice his/her religion, and does not allow Jews to even pass through the country. And most Arab countries (not all, but most) have kicked out all their Jews, taking away all their property. That all is fine in your eyes, but "Israel is an apartheid state". Your logic is totally perverted!
