re israel s expansion because the usa is bankrupt and simply cannot afford to finance the israeli ecconomy any more there is no money for such an occupation don t fool yourself it was the gulf war that brought the israelis to the negotiating table once their us backers had a secure base in the gulf they insrtructed shamir to negotiate or else phill hallam baker oh why do you expose your ignorance the us has been running on debt for the past four generations and has still financed what it pleases and after the gulf war israel could do whatever it wanted after not decimating iraq after the scud attacks it was encouraged but by no means forced to negotiate mr baker to address all of your points would be impossible but in a nutshell it is hypocritical for you to attack israel s presence in lebanon without attacking syria syrian occupation has been hostile and amounts to annexation israel s is clearly defensive if it were not defensive you would see all of lebanon occupied and governed by israel but that is not what israel wants pete
