Such eloquence! The depth, accuracy and inelecutable logic of your argument leaves me devastated.
US aid to Israel is coercive, and puts money into Liberals politicians in Israel. Cut the coercive aid, we starve the libs in Israel. They’re still our ally though! Get it?
There are legitimate non-anti-Semitic arguments against continuing to fund the Israeli military. I can recite many of them myself, and am partially sympathetic to some. Insofar as we can keep this thread on such a plane, it would be good for all of us.
Here’s my main take: Military Aid to Israel is a legislatable issue. I recommend every interested party make their points to their legislators and let the chips fall where they may in a vote of Congress. I’ll live with that.
I’ll suggest about today’s level of support. I’m opposed to increasing it or decreasing it. They are a key ally in the Defense of Western Civilization against the savage. They do their own tremendous amount of funding of their own military, above 6% of GDP if recollection serves.
I’m always opposed to American boots on the ground in Israel supporting them. I have heard rumors of that, and I think we should pull them out (if true) as a matter of political and diplomatic hygiene.
If Israel were about to be overrun, I would not recommend American boots on the ground. I’d go with my M4 and a few cases of ammunition, but I won’t put my Neighbors son on the ground to fight someone else’s fight.
What say the rest of you? And, are you taking proper public political steps to make you legislator vote your way? If so, good, and let’s try to leave the malodorous junk at the door.
It’s the Gateway Pundit. Enough said.
Support for decoupling from American arms has been slowly growing among Israel’s Right. Moshe Feiglin was first to propose it years ago that I heard.
For one thing, it allows Israeli military too much independence from the elected government.
