"Now you can say that these are triffles, but to dismiss them shows a lack of honesty on your side."

I personal feel is the US is not benefiting from the current relationship with Israel. Israel doesn't need American money or military technology, and America doesn't need the baggage that blind support for Israel brings.

I think Israel is a good friend which was proven during the Gulf War in the early 90's, but I don't think they should have such mindless support.

The only mindless entities here are those who can't understand what I'm about to say. So long as we continue to play the foreign aid game (which I'd like to see dissapear entirely - all at once) then it's imperative that we continue to support Israel.

What you're proposing is that we cut aid to Israel - I never heard you mention cutting military aid to Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, etc etc.

Well, you "feel" a lot and don't complain about our much greater amount and cost of blind support for terrorists. ...not to mention our US funding of quite a few Islamist regimes outside of Israel.
