Wow!!!
Jaw dropping.
It is with Israel that we actually DO have three security agreements and a SOFA.
It is Israel that actually is a democracy, unlike that faux BS in Ukraine where we pick and choose all the folks in top positions.
It is Israel that actually is sovereign.
It was Israel that actually was attacked, unprovoked (again for real, not like Ukraine where we poked the Russians in the eye repeatedly and then throw this term around).
It is Hamas that actually did kidnap civilians, kill woman and children...
Israel is the ONLY true constitutional republic in that region. Israel is a state that was created out of the injustices committed on Jews in Europe and elsewhere over the millennia. We helped create this nation.
***And here we are, backing off from Israel and the rationale, “DEMOGRAPHICS.”
There are a lot of Arab Americans today!
Thank you Howard Dean for explaining where you and your party stand.
***Israel is the ONLY true constitutional republic in that region***
FWIW, The Jewish State of Israel does not have a constitution and is a Theocracy where the right to national self-determination is reserved for the Jewish people, only.

Final text of Jewish nation-state law, approved by the Knesset early on July 19
By RAOUL WOOTLIFF, 18 July 2018, 2:45 pmUpdated: 19 July 2018
Knesset members approved overnight Wednesday-Thursday a controversial and long-debated law that officially defines Israel as the Jewish nation-state, voting the bill through in its second and third plenary readings by 62-55, with two abstentions.
The law for the first time enshrines Israel as “the national home of the Jewish people.” The law becomes one of the so-called Basic Laws, which, like a constitution, guide Israel’s legal system and are usually more difficult to repeal than regular laws.
What follows is a full translation of the final version of the bill approved by the Knesset plenary:
Basic Law: Israel as the Nation State of the Jewish People
1 — Basic principles
A. The land of Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people, in which the State of Israel was established.
B. The State of Israel is the national home of the Jewish people, in which it fulfills its natural, cultural, religious and historical right to self-determination.
C. The right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people.
