If only life were truly that simple. If you take money away from Israel (which will weaken our defense, by the way), then you must take money away from the Palestinians. And you must take it away from Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon. And you must stop France, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria and a host of other nations from sending aid, much of which goes directly to the Palestinians to be used for military efforts.



Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

Why do all those countries hate America so?

France, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt are allies.

Finn: Obviously, everyone in the world would aid Palestine because Palestine is desperate for an ally, and every power wants a desperate ally, because they'll let you do anything, such as set up a military base. This is why despots always have China, Russia or the US backing them up.

But this still doesn't make your argument work. The money and weaponry Israel has by itself without US aid already vastly exceeds that of Palestine and all that it gets from its friends.


Moving on to the more salient point, I'm going to agree with Chris and Geezer. Surprisingly, this is not the first time it has happened, when I was here before we came together on some issue, but I'll grant it's an odd match. If Rue wants to sign on I would count it as truly bizarre, and then if Auraptor joined us I think we could call it a disturbance in the force.

I'm afraid Finn has already had too much sex with a bagel to ever abandon Israel. *(No offense in the extremely unlikely event that Finn is jewish.)

Interesting side note: I know a lot of jews, and I now do not know one practicing jew who supports Israel. I know many, and at least three closely, who would say mazal tov to cutting Israel free. I suppose, now that I think about it, it's logical. Just like Bush is America's albatross, so too, for a jew, is Israel. It's like a posterchild for unpopularity. The way Abu Ghraib was a posterchild for Iraqi insurgency.

With 'friends' like these...

Fuck Israel, let em do it on their own dime, it's about time we cut those leeches off our ass, we shell out so much money to em, and what do we get in return ?

Espionage, sabotage and terrorism.

In case nobody noticed, they got just as long a terrorist rap as any of the folk they go head to head with AND a history of espionage and sabotage against us, their so-called "allies" that always drives me to ponder why we're not at war with *them* given what our reaction to that level of provocation from anyone else woulda been.

Ergo, they can kiss my ass, next time they come around begging for foreign aid our only response should be...
