We have a shared interest in defeating the Muslim Brotherhood (Al Ikawan) and its many spawn and in ensuring that Europe does not go Muslim.

No we don't. Our interest is in securing our liberty. We may wish that the other things don't happen, but that is really up to those other nations. Our involvement in destroying monsters abroad endangers our liberty.

And I notice that you failed to answer my point that Thomas's remark undermine the legitimacy of all settler nations, including the US.

Your only point is to confuse the interests of Israel and America. Likudniks only care about American conservatives if they can advance their agenda.

So we do not have an interest in defeating Al Qaeda, as well as the Islamist groups in America? Not very "America First" to ignore those who are killing Americans and those who want to kill us or subjugate us.
As for Europe going Muslim, I guess you think that the US can stand alone, something it has never done.

You understand that the United States was formed out of the 13 Colonies and is a settler nation, right?
Helen Thomas's comment attacks the legitimacy not only of Israel, but of all settler nations, in so far as she calls for the ethnic cleansing of it "non-indegous" population. If it is OK to attack Israel, as a nation where the settler population has histical ties to the land, then we in the US have even right to exist. Hence it is in the interest of America and Israel to denounce such Third Worldism.

And where did you learn the term "Likudnik"? Do you know what it means? Because, I cannot be one, since were I an Israeli, and I am not, I would be a member of Yichud Leumi, National Union.

I look forward to a cogent response that addresses all points.
