You know what, the only one bringing up Israel is you. I am saying stop sending money that we do not have overseas. To ANYONE. You are whining about Israel, an ally that has proven time and again possesses more than enough ability to defend herself.

Why would we be spending money in a war? Did we get involved in a long, protracted war in the Sinai in ‘67? No? Why is that? Could it be because the Israeli military is the baddest of asses on the planet and can more than take care of themselves in a fight?

Why do you feel the need to treat our ally as if it possesses neither the ability nor the will to defend itself?

I am bringing up Israel because it is one example of how loony RuPaul is. She lives with the daily threat posed by oil-rich muslim countries who want nothing more than to wipe her off the map. She needs our help. You can believe that or not, I really don’t care.

I think that treating Israel more as a partner in the WOT than a dependent child would actually strengthen her ability to defend herself. We still could share intelligence and military technology even if we did not continue aid. Israel's economy is strong enough now that it does not need our aid. That aid comes with pressure to follow our lead in the foreign policy arena, which sometimes actually hinders Israel's ability to secure its own security interests.

In 73 the Israelis were on the brink of losing and we had to airlift them military supplies to keep them from being overrun. They're hardly invincible.
