While the PLO is clearly the bad guy , it does not make much sense for objectivism to whole heartly support Isreal.Isreal has a state religion. It is also socialist. If it became a truly religious state or a truly secular capitalist state it could solve its problems but it tries to be both. Saudia Arabia is a horrible dictatorship but it is stable and at peace because only Moslems are permited to stay there. Turkey is at peace because it is secular, even though it is over 90 % moslem.

interesting points. With what you mention, it does seem strange for Objectivists to support Israel. Any ideas why Objectivism would support Israel? Could it be because Israel is the closest to democracy in that area?
