ISRAEL POLICY
by Tom Lineaweaver
by Tom Lineaweaver
This is the only exception to my non-intervention, non-interference Foreign Policy, at least for now. The more I learn about the Middle East, the more I am convinced there could be a workable peace, if it were not for the Government of Israel.
In June of 1967, Israel started a war with Egypt. In order to bring us into their war, on June 8, 1967 they attacked the USS Liberty, killing 34 members of the crew and injuring to varying degrees 174 others. They wanted the Johnson Administration to believe Egypt attacked the Liberty. You can see more about the Liberty here: line2016.freeforums.net/board/74/uss-liberty-rachel-corrie
My policy toward Israel will be based on the premise that Israel became our enemy on June 8, 1967, and any aid they have received since then from our Country is treason. Had we taken that murderous regime out of power back then, we could have saved a lot of innocent lives.
The evil, murderous regime of Benjamin Netanyahu must come to an end.
Some have mentioned Hamas as if they are a problem. And on the surface, it seems that way. But I believe that Hamas is defending its people, and are not the aggressor. But, I am open to evidence to the contrary.
Hence, when I become President, I will send a peacekeeping force to Israel with several objectives. 1. To keep Israelis from killing innocent civilian Palestinians. 2. Get Israeli Forces out of Palestinian Territories, eliminating checkpoints that keep Palestinians from living their lives. 3. Tearing down the wall that prevents Palestinian farmers from farming their own land. 4. To end Palestinian retaliation, which I believe would happen if Israel would stop killing Palestinians.
While it will be a peacekeeping force, and will not attack anyone, if I am the commander in chief, our military will have a standing order to defend themselves when necessary. And they will be armed at all times for that purpose.
If you agree with this Foreign Policy, then join the team...
