  1. I've opposed foreign aid to Israel for years. They don't need it, we can't afford it, nor should we feel obligated to send it. I doubt Trump believes they're the chosen ones. Why do we owe Israel anything? Why doesn't Germany support the Jewish state?

  2. hate speech I agree totally. No one should be playing anyone reparations. So why is the United States giving Israel a blank check? Why has Israel become our step child? Certainly the US had nothing to do with the persecution of Jews during WWII. That was Germany's brain child. If any guilt belongs to anyone, it's Germany, not the United States. Why is Angela Merkel letting all those Muslims into Germany, in effect destroying the nation? How are things in Berlin these days?

  3. hate speech Israel gets plenty of free shit from the United States. They have way too much influence over our government. Financial aid to Israel became systematic under the Nixon Administration more than 40 years ago. I hate to think of how much money we've poured into that country. I consider them fair weather friends: Nice to have around now and then but not above picking our pockets when it suits their convenience or throwing a temper tantrum if they don't get their way. I hadn't thought of them as a force against Islam. That's a good point and perhaps one redeeming quality. It's despicable the mess the United States has made of the Middle East. Hopefully our new incoming administration will address the issue in a more sane manner that benefits us for a change.
