re: #53 Buck

That is a classic “straw man”, unless you can tell me what “bad choices” Israel made to lose this support?

Israel as of this moment hasn’t made any bad choices to loose my support. However if for example Israel made a deal with Palestine to grant them statehood that both sides agreed to, and then proceeded not to live up to their end of the deal for whatever reason that would be a bad choice.

Israel is better than Palestine, and while I don’t predict them becoming worse any time soon, the best defense against such a thing happening is to always be aware of the possibility of it taking place.

If you want one thing in particular at the moment that they have actually done that I’ve been less than wild about… I’ve yet to hear a good explanation for the settlements they’ve been erecting on the west bank, though I say that being perfectly aware that I don’t keep my ear to the ground in regards to Israel’s politics as well as I should, so if you would like to explain to me the purpose for them I would be more than happy to listen and come away correct/better for the experience.
