We're supporting our democratic allies while also coming to the aid of those civilians caught in the crossfire of their conflicts. It's seems like a catch 22. What do you suggest as a solution?

The US has also supported Allies who were not democratic
such as Russia during WWII when they were the USSR, from all I have studied about communist Joe Stalin and his red jewish commizars and their atrocities against Christians, the more democratic minded Russians and those they considered to be lessor Jews and their nieghbors in near by countries made Hitlers atrocities look like kindergarten play. The US also supported, supplied, trained and used the Osma Bin Ladens al quada to fight against Russia while they were in Afganistan.
Anyway what I was pointing out was the economic and military futility of the US governments support in such large sums of TAX PAYERS money in foriegn aid in times of financial strife here at home, If all foriegn aid to Israel and others such as Egypt is suspended until we recover from our own debts and they are such good friends then they should understand and stand behind us when we are in need, if they can't do that without whining and complaining about it then how can we count them as friendly allies anymore? This suspending foriegn aid isn't something that has yet been tried to any extent so why not our representitives and Senators give that a chance to work for once instead of the samed old failed policies and get our tax payers out of the economic cross fire and our soldiers out of the line of gun fire fighting other countries wars?
Though Israel has manufactured nuclear weapons, they have never openly declared this and tried to hide this fact for years, they imprisoned one of their own, Mordechai Vanunu for over 20 years, most of that 20 years in solitary confinement and isolation for exposing this fact, now he is a prisoner in his own land who is not allowed to leave the country Israel is not signator to the nuclear non proliferation treaty while Iran IS! and so under that treaty Iran has a legal right under International law to persue peaceful use of neclear power, to deny them this legal right to persue the peaceful use of nuclear power is a violation of that treaty!
Out of all the Nations the US has helped over the years the Scandinavians are the only ones who voiced appreciation of our aid and ever returned us what fincial aid they had received from us in earlier years.
Israel has many times shown it takes our help for granted,
they thumb their nose at the requests we have asked them and continue to eat up Palestinian land by building more settlements, they lie to us, cover up and change their stories constantly and when they do get caught and the UN passes resolutions for Israel to abide by only to have the US use its power of veto to protect poor Israel from the mean Germans, oops I mean Arabs, oh wait a minute now that might be the Persians next because Israel is unhappy with them, they are tying to build nuclear bombs which the UN weapons inspectors say they are not producing weapons grade material, it was the same propaganda that was spun on the news before the war in Iraq that Iraq was buying yellow cake to produce neclear weapons and Joe Wilson of the CIA found out that was not true and that we the public found out too much later that it wasn't true and how many billions of dollars up in smoke, US soldier war dead and Iraqie war dead later?
