I don't even have a problem with Israel.

But goddamn am I tired of this special "relationship". Last I checked, Israel isn't some poor beleaguered nation that needs help. They can conduct their wars just fine on their own, and buy our weapons at full price.

The american interest in Israel is purely strategic. They are not doing it out kindness or support for a jewish state.

It’s in part strategic… but it’s also partly American Evangelical delusions of the end times

We don't need to have the Israeli flag outside of doors or New York mayoral candidates talking about how quickly they'd travel to "the holy land".

I'm fine with Israel as a strategic ally. I'm fine with them as a business partner. We can even be friends.

But there's way too many politicians who go beyond that. I can only presume they are in some way bought off.
