Excepting Israel, I think most wingnuts believe all our allies are Marxist dictatorships, if you believe their rhetoric.

And they write off Israel’s single payer universal healthcare as only being possible because of their supposed ethnic/cultural homogeneity, with a straight face.

Even if the people who say that believe it’s true (it’s not, Israel has a lot of ethnic and cultural diversity) I wonder if they realize what a horrible thing that is to say? It basically implies that their real motive for opposing single payer universal healthcare is that they simply don’t want society to help people who look different than they do / come from different cultures (which is true.)
