@yoZuby Israel is our ally. I won’t argue to money spent protecting them. I will, however, argue who the terrorists are. The famous saying is Israel would gladly disarm but as soon as they did they would be killed. If the Palestinians disarmed there would be peace. Lets not pretend that some (if not lost) people over there hate Jews. Whether it’s warranted or not I’m not arguing but we cannot pretend that Israel cannot defend themselves.

@TheDrewSaga Usually Israel is the one retaliating and not initiating. And if what you are saying is true then couldn’t Israel just level Palestine and end it? Why do you think that hasn’t happened?

@TheDrewSaga Also, look up where the saying comes from. It may surprise you

@yoZuby Except Afghanistan wasn’t a threat anymore because we neutralized it. We had it ‘won’ over there and we’re trying to build up their army and security so when we left they could keep the taliban from taking over. Vietnam also had nothing to do with opium it just happened to be a byproduct. And it’s not just the US either. We have allies we have sworn to protect. Sounds like these commenters know nothing of foreign policy

@yoZuby Except for the other part, the region being stable. Problems are rarely (mostly never) singular or one dimensional. We should criticize our government for their mistakes but we should also be correct about them. If we should stay out of that area of the globe completely, then we need to stop being allies with Israel. And it wouldn’t hurt to be energy independent.

@yoZuby No they don’t. Maybe you haven’t been paying attention for the past 20 years

@yoZuby Also, I’m not arguing for or against Zionism.

@TheDrewSaga How do you know they would get killed on the spot? Either side?
