#1 I can't believe I'm on the same side of the argument as her. I feel dirty. I need a shower.

It's obvious that AIPAC has an outsize influence on American politics. It's also obvious that Israel has an outsized priority in American foreign policy. Who benefited when we destroyed Iraq? It certainly wasn't America. Now we're going after Iran and I don't see how constant war in the middle east benefits us at all. It's great for Israel though.

It's bad enough the Europeans leech off us, but we give direct foreign aid to Israel. Money right out of our own pockets. To a developed first world nation. WTF? The claim is always that they buy weapons with it. I say let's cut out the middleman and just keep the money without washing it through the military-industrial complex.

#4 Why are the people who bitch so much about the slavery in the confederacy the ones who are so quick, both fifty years ago and today, to put their allies on the auction block?

Even if it were morally right, and they deserved it, it's a counter-survival position that'll make us weaker and people like the Russians and Chinese stronger. I thought we were supposed to be fighting collusion?

#5 There's a contradiction: On the one hand, the left wants to use Marxism as branding to return to relatively feudal medieval institutions, but on the other hand it wants to adopt policies that the average medieval doge would have recognized as suicidal.

#6 And suicidal on top of being morally wrong.

#7 As the old gunfighter said to Kim Carsons: "Your hand and eye know more than you do, son. Just learn to stand out of the way..."

#9 Herb, when the fallout from Iran's nukes starts spreading you might grab a clue.

#10 And this one's for Herb, in case he hasn't gotten a clue yet: currently Israel is a way for our government and military to fund research into anti-ballistic-missile stuff without having it oops-"mismanaged" by leftist idiots who think we'll be better off with our cities destroyed.

Every time they get the cat while we're out of town they say they love him and put him on a vegan diet.

#11 Israel is a bright shining light in an otherwise muddy dark corrupt nightmare st--hole of a region.
and they are our Ally.

#12 We are well compensated for our endeavors with Israel.
