It is ridiculous to even try to compare personal relationships to national ones. The federal government is charged by the Constitution to defend the inalienable rights of those living in the U.S., not in foreign nations. The government is supposed to do what's best for U.S. citizens, not Israeli citizens. Look at it this way: if our relationship with Israel helps our government defend the rights of U.S. citizens, keep it up. If, however, such a relationship invites terrorist attacks and unwanted enemies, break it off.
The argument can be made that by posturing ourselves as an unwavering ally of Israel, we have bitten off more than we can chew. Your assumption that we would still be targeted by terrorists whether we stood by Israel or not is completely unfounded.
sigh..... do you honestly believe that Muslems hate us because we support Israel? They hate us because our culture is different and more successful than theirs. They are afraid that our culture will assimlate theirs, and they have reason to be afraid. Western culture is spreading everywhere. Why? Because it is successful.
They would attack us even if Israel did not exist. I suppose you also believe that the terrorist attacks in the Philipines, and Chechnia, and Kosovo, and Macadonia, and Kashmir, and Algeria, and virtually everywhere else radical Islam comes into contact with a culture different than their own, is because of these countries frindship with Israel?
If you are anti Israel you should just admit that you are anti-semitic, don't try to make excuses. You shouldn't lie to yourself.
That is right on the money. So obvious a point really.
