Israel has nuclear weapons and a proven track record of unilateral aggression against other countries.
Israel is no better than any of the other countries over there, and worse than some of them.
No need for us to fight their wars, or give them billions of dollars every year (just like we do the Palestinians, by the way).
Our foreign policy is so messed up it would take Divine Intervention to straighten it out (which it will, also by the way...)
