Maybe the better question is why people think we should “love” Israel? Allies are made out of sovereign convenience and common interests (which can change), not love. If anything, this country has suffered tremendously due to it’s “love” of Israel. I’m not saying that’s good or bad, kind or evil, just the way it is. How exactly has our “love” of Israel benefitted us?

If you are smart you support Israel because they are on the frontline against the worldwide Jihad. Muslims are taking over Europe via demographics. The two big threats are China's military and the world Jihad. Iran is making inroads in Latin America. You can shrug and say "Throw Israel to the wolves" same as Obama does but I don't think it serves your purposes to live in freedom. If you want the Jihad against America to accelerate then abandon Israel. I promise you the Muslims won't love you anymore if you do. Instead they smell weakness

This is my read of how things should be done for the long term...not in the next ten minutes

Really? Worldwide, huh? Seems to me they got all they can handle being the frontline against Israel jihad.
