Please explain to me what the US gets out of helping Israel anyway. Answer. Nothing.
Are you an American or an Israeli? Where is your allegiance?

Its not all about what the US gets. I wish we would do more in Africa. If you think everything we do should be done just to benifit our country, you and I are on a completely different page and the "conversation" need not go on.
I support Israel as an American citizen because it is one piece of land in that entire region where the people treat each other humanely. I believe in the rule of law, individual rights, and is a democracy. You dont like these ideas?
Costs a lot less money to make a dead zone.
OK. So lets say a Canadian terrorist group supported by the CAndian government starts lobbing missiles at where you live in NY. Just to kill civilians. You dont want air strikes immediately? BS.
