I'm for a policy of neutrality on the Israel vs. Palestine issue.
That said, WTF don't we butt out of that clusterfuck and allow I & P to settle it between theirselves? IMO we really belong on neither of the two sides of this lame feud. BOTH parties in this debacle are guilty of persecuting innocents on the other.
It's their feud, not ours.
But we want Israel senpai to notice us!
I love how there's finally an actual terrorist country to have symmetrical relations with, and the best America can do is provide moral support to piss-ant militias.
It's not a country though, just like the people on the west bank of Israel are not a country.
What is a country?
A miserable pile of miserable piles of secrets.
It's a defined geographical area full of targets. I don't think guided missiles will be able to tell the difference.Quote:

From that and only that perspective, I am completely on board.Quote:
