Why does the United States support Israel?
Why can't we allow the Muslims to wipe them out? They built a homeland in the Middle east. We shouldn't subsidize their poor decisions.

I'm sure some will tell you that Israel is just trying to survive in a very openly hostile region where there are some amongst the Arab nations who live by the creed that Jews are to be destroyed for the survival of their own faith.
Others, more cynical perhaps, might suggest there are an awful lot of wealthy Jewish folk in the U.S. who donate very large sums of money to political parties in the U.S to ensure a pro-Israel stance.

@revenant Wasn't trying to be judgemental. Just 'fair'.
But i get the feeling whatever i said would be ripped apart by somebody.

@Picklebobble2 Nevertheless, they aren't our people. Their survival isn't our concern.

@Arzawa But their descendants ARE Lots of Jewish families in America. Lots of Jewish business in America. Lots of political clout.

@Picklebobble2 If they are American Citizens they are our people. Don't conflate Jewish and Israel. Israel is a neo-colonial state and should be abandoned to survive on its own.

@Arzawa Ok. If that's your opinion, i respect it. Not that it will change anything.

@Arzawa You re an immigrant yourself. What native American tribe are you from?
Arzawa · 31-35, M
@TerryCutter I'm not an immigrant. I am the descendant of peoples that came from Europe. The peoples that conquered the land and displaced the Native Americans. Upon their graves we built a glorious civilization. We didn't require the constant military and financial aid of foreign powers. Israel is a parasitic state. she should stand on her own or perish. Either way, it is not the responsiblity of Americans to keep her alive.
