Elroy, 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. An "open immigration policy" makes absolutely no sense when the conflict IS ethnic in nature. Plus it's clear to me that the terrorists want Israel "wiped off the map," not "more open in its immigration policy." Why do you support it rather than let them fight their battle by themselves? I too believe that Israel is part of the front line in the war on terrorism. It'd be a strategic mistake to give Israel away, thus empowering the Islamic extremists and giving rise to an even bigger problem in the Middle East. Plus Israel is a fully functional democratic society that has a right to exist. They are a long-time ally of the United States, and we should not abandon our allies over idealistic notions of "immigration policies," nor should we abandon them in the new face of anti-Semitism.
