I'm amazed at the denial expressed by those who just want to hand Israel to the terrorists, as if they'll just leave us alone and die off after that.

Denial? Hand Israel over to terrorist? People have made the case that fighting for a Jewish homeland surrounded by non-Jews in what has historically been a multi-cultural region is unAmerican. Nothing is being denied. Nothing is being handed over to terrorist. The point is that defending this unpopular ethnic state of 6 million against 1.5 billion is not in America's interests. If Israel had an open immigration policy which evaluated prospects based on their merits rather than their ethnicity, it would get my support. It would be little America in a bastion of crap. Unfortunately, it's immigration policy says one ethnic group is acceptable, others are not. That's unAmerican.

Why do you support it rather than let them fight their battle by themselves? We don't go balls to the wall trying to help the Sri Lankan government against the Tamil Tigers. We don't go all out trying to help the Free Aceh movement get independence in Sumatra. We don't do diddle dee dee trying to help Tibetans regain their self determination. Yet we arm Israelis to the teeth and throw money at them like we were all Jewish and want to move there. We're not!

Is it just because Israel's enemies are repugnant to you?
