re: #444 Obdicut

When it costs us more to defend Israel than it gains us.

As I said, it shouldn’t even factor into it. Israel deserves our support as a democracy, moreover, a democracy fighting tyrants.

I’m not sure what you’re not getting about this. I’m saying it doesn’t matter if it’s in our interests to defend Israel, it’s simply the morally right thing to do.

Again we seem to have a language difference. I am simply stating that it’s in our interests to support Israel, because it will always be the morally right thing to do.

You are very good at saying two different things so that you can get credit for both.

(supporting Israel isn’t in the US’s best interests) when it costs us more to defend Israel than it gains us.

Is fine for you. And not completely unexpected.
