I am a bigot? I was making a joke.

I don't give a shit about strategy at that point, I am not going to support a place like that, and neither does the international community. And you can sit here and point fingers at the rest of the dirtbags in the region, 1 we dont support them, 2 that hatred has been bred out of desperation and asinine policy. The U.S. doesn't even agree with a lot of the shit they do for obvious reasons, and I haven't even mentioned their reactionary bombing campaigns or continuing settlement of land that isn't theirs. The U.S. is the only reason Israel isn't sanctioned by almost everywhere in the world, much less a crater. There is no way to say that having that piece of shit on our side is a good strategy, they contribute absolutely nothing, and have caused us more than enough grief. I have no bleeding heart for that place.

wait, so you're bigoted toward jews and hate israel? i am shocked.
also yes we do support "them", them being other "dirtbags in the region". for fy2011 we gave $30 billion in aid to a composite of Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Egypt, the West Bank, and Jordan. Israel got $3 billion.
if you think israel is the worst guy on our payroll, you're ignorant. we support whoever furthers american interests and sometimes, that's some pretty nasty people. israel is a lot more defensible than many others.
hypothetical: do you think we wouldn't give assad $5 billion a year to pull loose from iran, put up a guise of civil rights, and support american initiatives? don't kid yourself, we would. he's just not as easily bought
