“RuPaul wanted to end all funding to Israel, our ally in the Middle East.”
Actually I am all for ending ALL foreign aid.
That sounds good but it's just not practical. RuPaul's proposal would not lower our budget deficit. By abandoning Israel while its enemies are gaining strength, the risk of a major war in the ME would increase. A major war would cost the U.S. billions and billions of dollars as we have already seen in Iraq and Afghanistan. We could, of course, not assist our ally and watch as Iran achieves its goal of wiping her off the map. I, for one, am not about to condone turning our backs on the only real democracy in the ME.
