“When the “sovereign state of Israel’s” chief exports are world tension and pleas for financial and military assistance, in that order, everybody affected has a right to poke what ever the want into Israel in exchange.”
WOW! Now you have revealed yourself. You have failed the test of anti-Semitism as brilliantly defined by Natan Sharansky

Israel is self-sufficient. They are a first world country. They are the third leading military exporter in the world. They have never needed/asked anyone to fight for them unlike Europe. They are a leader in Nobel Prizes, science, medical, agricultural, and technological inventions. All of this and they are only 60 years old and are a country of 7 million people.
All of their “problems” are indeed within and about their own borders so they are internal in every sense of the word.
Do not post to me any more your anti-Israel, Holocaust minimizing slanders. Even your Pope would be cringing at this point.
Boy, do you have it wrong. I have lived and worked in Israel and know, first hand, that Israel is not a peer of the major western powers primarily because of scope and scale of its economy. This is not a "Jewish thing" either. Israel is comparable to Ireland in population and GDP and has had to deal with sectarian violence and holocausts, but this does not entitle them to dictate to the US. Do not deceive yourself into believing that Israel is self sufficient. If not for the largess of the American tax payer and guilt payments of major European countries grass would grow in the streets. Israel cannot depend upon the US (and American Christians and Catholics) for security and charity for its existence and then righteously demand that we mind our own business. If we did Israel would surely perish at the hands of the "friendly natives".
