Luckily for us, support for Israel is a bi-partisan thing in Congress. I guess you need to explain to all the policy-makers on both sides of the aisle that supporting Israel is not in our interest.
I got a kick out of your post where you called Israel "the devil". I know that you also called the Arabs the same thing, but how could you say that about Israel? Here is a tiny country that is just trying to survive and you think they are "the devil" for defending themselves. It's a joke.

The reason they have support is congress is because of their lobby. Which is fine, just like the US supporting them verbally is fine. I could care less, just stop giving my tax dollar to them so they can have a military. Use their own tax dollar. Same goes for any country that isn't giving us oil, or something in return.
This isn't a political issue for me, it is a financial one. The US should not be in the busness of giving countries money to build a military. Stay out of other countries. Just look at Iraq. Waste of my money.
