Café Philos: an internet café

The other day, I posted a thread on a popular forum that asked, "What Does Israel Do For the U.S.?" One of the forum's more frothing members promptly accused me of having an anti-Israel agenda on the mere grounds that I had asked that question.

I don't consider myself anti-Israeli, but the thought has occurred to me Israel could do more for the States than it does. For instance, it could dismantle all the illegal settlements in the West Bank. It seems to me that dismantling the illegal settlements could be a step towards peace in the region -- something that would benefit the U.S.
