Why does the Left hate Israel?

[mawilson 2,133]

I wonder why it is that conservatives blindly support and applaud Israel? I'm a Libertarian and am hopelesly stuck in the middle here. I don't believe in foreign aid as a tool of hegemony. I have no feelings of ill will towards Israel, I just believe that money spent outside the United States while we still have so many people living in poverty is ill spent.

Our government supports Israel because it's in our national interests. Are we hypocrites? Absolutely. Do we favor one nation over another? Absolutely. Is it right? Well that depends on what someone's definition of "right" is. We are simply doing what all great nations have done throughout history... protect our interests.

It is only in our interest because they allow us to use their airspace, and even that is marginal.

When Armageddon comes, Israel and America will rain fire and brimstone upon the wicked Ayrabs.

P.S. Do I need the <sarcasm> tag?

Can you say that in the cadence of a southern baptist preacher?

Is there any other way to say it?

Try the Merlin way. Or the Sith Lord one.
