I agree with Micah Lukowitz’s Monday letter. A strong alliance with Israel is absolutely essential to promoting democracy in the Middle East.
Israel stands as a symbol that proves how a struggling democratic people, surrounded by enemies on every border, can still succeed and flourish.
Lukowitz brings up many strong points about the importance of the solid bond between America and Israel, our sole democratic ally in the region.
As an engineer, Israel means more to me than just politics.
Israel is one of the world’s leading innovators of the technologies we take for granted in America and in countries around the globe.
Israeli scientists are world leaders in medicine, bio-technology and alternative and renewable energy. Israeli engineers were the first to develop text messaging technology.
Israeli scientific influence can be seen even here on campus, as the new water-saving flush toilets being installed at Southwest Rec Center are inspired by Israeli design.
It’s clear how Israel is important to American interests on so many levels. From politics, to human rights, to the cell phone in your pocket, Israel’s significance is undeniable.
