>>>Not sure what your point is. Israel has always been socially leftist<<<
Didn’t have a point, just reacting to your original Statement that a country that uses Women to fight for it isn’t worth fighting for.
I just pointed out that Israel is an exception to your way of thinking. They are a small Nation and need every able bodied person to protect themselves.
Are you now saying Israel isn’t worth fighting for because they are socially Leftist?
Israel puts large numbers of women into uniform to make a political point — and also, as I said, because demolition of sexual distinctions has always been part of the socialist playbook.
Now that Israel exists and muslims have been radicalized (thanks in no small part to Israel), we need it to continue. But I have no special affection for it, and believe the world would have been more stable and less dangerous if dreamy 19th century socialists hadn’t invented Zionism. Whatever regional political influence the US gains from our relationship with Israel could just as easily and at lower cost have been cultivated with Lebannon. But we have never been very good at foreign policy, have we? And now it’s too late.
