Most came from Saudi Arabia- and we not only built their country's military bases, but shovel money at them, fight their wars for them and buy their oil, even at exorbitant prices.
Why?!
Because a few extremist assholes do not represent their entire country, any more than Jeffrey Dahmer or the Unabomber represent ours.

Now, as for the real thugs; Bibi Netanyahu make a giant ass of himself during his first public appearance with our President- and has recently doubled down by badly overstepping his bounds by going behind his back to address Congress. The other thugs are the republicans who supported this towering foreign policy gaffe for the most transparent of reasons; their constituents stand to gain in the ongoing arms sales.

Netanyahu is hoping for a photo op for his upcoming election.

OH im sorry am I missing something here?
The last war with Iraq was definatly connected to our relationship with Israel. And to some extent so was the first one.
Maybe if we cut off the Apartheid government of Israel, and stop supporting every goddamn thing they do. Maybe they will actually try to work with their neighbors and Fix the Palestinian problem.

NOT gonna happen, because those constituents (defense industry stockholders) know they sell more weapons to people who use them than to those who don't.
To my mind, that's the very worst kind of monster- and we've let them take over our country's political and economic power to continue to foment war and justify murder for dollars.
But, you know, dead Palestinians don't complain.

It's somehow better that they ask us to do their genocides for them, so they can talk about how their hands are clean?

Actually the people most influential are right wing Christians. Who believe that the jews will covert at the end of the world. And they wish to speed up Armageddon

I believe we are into the third war in Iraq now. Did you forget about BarryO going for it for a third time? You must of missed that eh.

So now that BarryO is a war lord it's not to help the Jews? Is that what you are saying?

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on building a new boat. I don't have time to build that fake shit. Life is too short for that.

Makes about as much sense as the rest of the shit they spew.
I don't trust them as far as I can throw a pulpit.

I have been immersed lately in Judaism and Jewish history. Apparently the messiah will reinstate Jubilee practice as mentioned in Leviticus. So the messiah would be a FAR left wing figure, since only a socialist would ever take land away from the rich and give it back to the kibbutzim.

Right. The more closely this stuff is examined, the less sense it makes to base foreign policy on it.
Putting it mildly!
