Supporting Israel IS NOT in America's interest at this time. It's not even neutral, it works against our interests.

With their policies, Israel CAN and SHOULD stand alone. It's not by chance that the Arab world refers to our alliance as "the Great and Little Satan".

jeepers, everybody comes to america for money.....and america only gives it when it suits our interests.

I've asked this question [or a similar one] before. What does the US get from having Israel as an ally?

Other than a target put on our back?

Feel free to write your little heart out. Not what Israel gets, what does the US get?

P.S. It's been a long time since England came to the US with a hand out and they repayed the debt.
