If we didn’t give aid ti Israel there WOULD BE a second holocaust.

Just to keep things factual here, I don’t believe Hitler invaded Israel in WW2. It minimizes the holocaust to throw it out there like red meat as an argument. Israel could survive fine without US aid. They’d just have to be a bit more diplomatic in their negotiations. Who knows…it might even be the fastest way for them to find peace with their neighbors.

But I also don’t believe that the US has ever had a vested interest in Israel and Palestine working their shit out completely. It’s good to have a boilerplate that we have to protect/criticize/aid/strongarm/defend/etc.
