After watching History Channel all day.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the US has to stop holding Israel's hand in the Middle East. By that I mean, stop sending US tax dollars to pay for their shit. By their shit I mean soldiers and weapons. I'm not opposed to the Israeli state. I oppose the US support for them. It is expensive, it is detrimental to foreign affairs in the Middle East, it breeds hatred terrorists cells use to recruit, and most of all it is none of our business. On top of that US is blind to the atrocities Israel commits. The exile of persons from the land on the basis of political affiliations. That is persecution is it not?

If we were to cut ties from Israel, the only cries that would happen would be from Jewish communities. We would have a whole demographic that has lost faith in the government. It's a loss yes. but the upside would be better relations with Middle East. Especially Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. That means less terrorists motivation, less expensive gas!, more tax money to be spent domestically.

But there is no WIN at all in keeping up our support for Israel. In my honest ugly opinion Israel is a spoiled brat of a country that won't share with it's neighbors. US gives it all the means to defend itself and basically own everyone else in the region. Where's the benefit for the US citizen? I don't see any. With ALL the money we spend on Israel we might as well claim it as the 51st state of the Union.
