“And as US national, I would urge all the “pro-Israeli” citizens in the states to put their money where their mouth is and immigrate (sic).
One nation, one loyalty.”
I’m making Aliya in the fall with my family.
But since we’re on the subject, should pro-unified Ireland types emigrate (note the proper usage) to County Cork? What about Italian Americans who join the Knights of Columbus? What if you’re concerned about Darfur? Do you then have to go there and live?
Fair points. The US obviously has to have a foreign policy where we form alliances and pick sides in the world. It is commenting on political systems inside other countries which I don’t like. Obviously, there is a need to debate the effects countries have on the world at large.
Additionally, while we have sympathies for nations/peoples, etc. those must be subordinate to US national interest.
Kennedy and Reagan where Americans—not Irishman who were American Presidents. Any sympathies they might have had for their ancestral soil had to be subordinate to the greater need for an alliance with Great Britain. Roosevelt did not lead the US to war when the lowlands where invaded by Germany. Eisenhower could not refuse to lead a war against his country of origin...
and I guess most of the other Presidents where Anglos so I have run out of examples.
I’m rabbling too much—so I’ll just say I didn’t mean to come across as a ‘Knownothing get the heck out stereotype’ I’m just having a really inelegant day.
