Our support of Israel has brought us:

the enmity of the 1/4 of the world's population which is Muslim
Inevitable, given the world view of Islam, with or without our support of Israel.

the contempt of Europe
The gelatinous mass of European politicians, who stand for nothing, but expect U.S. protection from everything (including Islamic terrorists in their midst), is contemptible. We are above their contempt; they (with the possible exception of Great Britain and a few minor players), are beneath ours.

the condemnation (and hidden glee) of Russia and China
I’m not sure what you’re smoking, but whatever face-saving grumbling Russia might make, she does not oppose our support of Israel, since she herself has quite a problem with Islamic terrorists, which has nothing to do with Israel; as for China, the act of Americans breathing brings condemnation.

This is the party line of the Israel First gang repeated over and over by the media. That does not make it true. We are a major customer for Arab oil and the Arabs have every reason to be friendly to us as they were for years. They have their interests and we have ours and they are not the same but that does not require enmity.

Our support of Israel has been a disaster for American interests and at the moment threatens our peace, our economy and our internal tranquility. The Israel Firsters simply don't care--they would sacrifice the US for Israeli advantage any day.

For many years our support of Israel was justified as a bulwark against the USSR in the Middle East. The USSR has collapsed but national interests have not.
