Globalization has answers but too few chose to listen.

...I am VERY familiar with globalization's answers. ...I just don't like the tyranny that I know accompanies them. ...I'm an American. A Constitutionalists who prefers to avoid foreign entanglements. Just like those who came before, who were much wiser than I, have suggested. However, I support Isreal because I am a Christian. As for the League of Nations forming Isreal,...trust me. They had nothing to do add to "God's Chosen People and His Nation".

It would be interesting to find out what percentage of Americans share your view, which is a very interesting one. As a conservative and strict follower of the American constitution, you oppose globalization and foreign alliances. But on the other hand, you support Israel, which for Americans is a very visible and high-stakes foreign alliance. And you add that you support Israel because of religious (not political) reasons (based I suppose on Old Testament prophecy).

There is a curious thing happening in the US, with the modern state of Israel finding support from a share of Americans who have a religious kinship with the biblical Israel. These same Americans consider themselves conservative and against foreign entanglements; and oppose globalization even though earlier versions of today's "globalization" helped give birth to modern Israel after WW II.

Is history or geography taught in US schools anymore? There is a curious theme today among conservative Americans to "cherry-pick" which version of globalization to approve.
