    Man, I want so much to be on Israel’s side since they are our only ally in the region but they are making it very difficult.

      They’ve never been our ally in any meaningful way. They used nuclear blackmail against Nixon to bail themselves out when they lost the Yom Kippur war. They blew up the USS Liberty and machine gunned my great uncle in the water. And they were literally the reason for 9/11, straight from the mouth of bin laden.

      How much aid money did they send us after 9/11?
