As an ally I believe Isreal is entitled to being under our security umbrella and is deserving of our political support up too a point, but the degree to which we coddle their ambitions running political interference for them and subsidizing their country in such a lavish and generous way is ridiculous. It's well past time they draw up permanent borders and quit pestering us for money.
---------------------------
A well reasoned and balanced statement. One that will be rejected by the Israel ping constituents once their primary spokespersons are made aware of this thread.
Support for Isreal should have reasonable limitations. The same Americans that would kill the US to support Israel at all costs are the same people who think you can conquer 1.5 billion Muslims without having an ally among them.
All or nothing, black or white thinking has been known to be ineffective for the survival of the human species for like how many centuries now?
By all means support Israel but with your head and backside left intact.
"It's well past time they draw up permanent borders and quit pestering us for money."
Please explain whan you know about the genesis of US aid to Israel.
Also, why would you cut aid to Israel, but continue billions of miltary aid to Egypt?
