Same for Israel. Look, I've nothing against Israel defending itself. That's all good. What I'm against is our tax dollars given to Israel which by agreement, must be used to purchase American Military products. This gives lobbyists a huge incentive to not only lobby for aid to Israel, but gives Israel and Palestinian Muslims an incentive to constantly create conflict to keep the money rolling in.  I'm not for cutting Israel off cold but the system needs to be scaled down and eventually ended. All aid to Palestinians should be cut off instantly. They've been pumping the UN money machine for years too.  Of course any cut off of aid to Palestinians will be met with first threats of more attacks and then actual attacks. So be it.  They will quickly lose interest in creating conflict when the money stops and they have to find ways to be productive members of the world.  Then, that is a perfect time to drastically scale back aid to Israel.
