I hope one of you well-informed types can help me out here.
It seems that Israel is oftentimes the aggressor, or overly aggresive in their foreign policies. Since something like half of their budget comes in the form of US aid, why don't we lean on them a bit? Instead, we give them our blessing and turn our eyes while they at times do nothing but further destabalize the region.
FWIW: Although I understand that faith plays a huge part in that region's politics, I'm not knocking Judiasm, so please don't go there. Religions IMO don't need national boundaries. But again, the nation of Israel's actions (Mossad) seem to be all forgiven, yet we've condemmed, or even bombed, others for like actions.
Why is that? What is this fascination with Israel?
I won't be able to check in for a couple of hours, but any opinions and info on our love affair with Israel would be appreciated. Thanks, -C.
