Tragic to be sure, the permenant loss of Israeli sovereign lands is far more destructive in the medium and long term.

In this way I agree with Ron Paul’s view on foreign aid, imho the Israeli’s should be allowed to do whatever they need to do to protect their country with -0- interference on the part of the US, the flip side of that is no US aid to Israel either.

The culture in DC is if they send Israel money, the US may as well sit in on the Knesset and Cabinet.

Isolationism? Yeah maybe, then again the US Gov is functionally bankrupt.

Na, foreign aid to the Pals and others never seems to make it into the talking points...this is not in the conversation of the “realists” in their quest for stability in the ME.

Israel is the problem, Israel's “occupation and oppression” is the only problem.

And the fastest and most effective way to get there is to destroy Israel's citizenry physically and mentally. This accomplishes the goals of Jews moving their families out, and Jews pressuring and electing a government that promise “peace” with the terrorists and “respect” from the UN, Europe, and the world.
