Re: You have 10 seconds to explain to me why America should continue to support Israel.

Israel is a piece of shit. Not that Palestinians aren't culpable in the Israel-Palestine conflict, but I'm sick of my tax dollars going to a bunch of thug Jews who commit atrocities on a daily basis and then try and hide behind the ****ing Holocaust.

The best policy the usa could implement in the region by now isn't to just walk out on israel, but to force it back to the 64 line and recognize palestinian sovereignity, no ifs about it.

In a reasonable world, this would happen. But Washington can't even get the Anti-Castro lobbyists to give it up, never mind the Zionist lobby.

Methinks Palestine would do the whole Sharia thing.
the palestinean gvt is democratically elected. unless the entire population voted that way, you wouldn't see sharia. even then, the mandate imposed by Hamas has been much more about political control and security on the streets than strict sharia, but then, I don't think Hamas would win an election in Israel.
A Country like China, I would understand because of trades and other stuff that they do for the west. But the middle east? I'd say screw them and cut off support to them. They don't give back to the west so it's a one way street then some of them want, hate, or are blowing us up. WTF. Now, some parts in Africa need help and don't give back but they are not bad mouthing us or trying to harm us etc.... Sure then they need the help.
