I do hate Israel, not all of the people in it, but certainly their policies and political officials. And if here you want to define bigotry as hating someone for the opinion that it's ok to kill and oppress people and steal land, yes I am bigoted against that opinion, because it's fucking insane and stupid.
Hmm, I wonder why we would need to give aid to the countries we fucked up? I am sure if you look at the allocation of said aid it would not be equal across the board. A bigger factor would be that what the aid is for. There is a big difference between military aid and the sharing of weapons (Israel), and aid meant for development and feeding people peanut paste. Israel just bought a bunch of choppers etc from us, essentially with our own money. Don't whitewash foreign aid, it makes you sound misinformed. Also, tons of money is funneled to Israel through sources outside the government. Little of this is relevant however, other than you saying we support other countries in the same way we support Israel, which is the stupidest counter-argument I have had the displeasure of hearing.
And to answer your hypothetical, I am sure many would be willing to do something like that. However, do you think I would agree with that decision? Do you think I agree with our funding of Mubarak, Saddam in the 80s, or any of the other crazies we fund?
