Maybe you would like it if Israel didn't exist. The next day after it existed every single group that is opposing Israel would would be trying to destroy the U.S. with twice the effort they tried to destroy Israel. Imagine all the groups united in hating the U.S. aligned together. Sorry, if I consider making this a safer country doing something for the U.S. While I don't always agree with the amount we fund other countries, the fact is the amount we pay Israel would not come close to covering the bill we would have to pay to defend ourselves if Israel wasn't there.

Israel is not some outpost keeping the war front away from the US. We are the great Satan because we defend Israel, the House of Saud and The Egyptian Government.

None of these are democracies, not really. America should only defend democracies. (That means every Palestinian votes along with every Jew.) Every time we do otherwise it just ends in a festering hatred which turns into a revolt.
