I guess I agree with nobody. I simply wish we'd have a fair and balanced policy regarding Israel and all the other middle east states.

Our foreign policy for decades, under both Republican and Democrat regimes, can be summarized by "Israel, right or wrong."

There are times where Israel has *clearly* been in the wrong, acting in direct contravention to fairness and peace, and even against international law... and yet our government blindly defends them even then. It seems to me that our government shows greater allegiance to Israel than we do to our own people sometimes.

Does that mean I don't support Israel's right to exist? Of course not, they're allies and we owe them our support. But I think we'd be a better nation if we just played the game more even-handed than we do now.

JMO, yours will certainly vary.
