After all, it's about one inch at a time. It's a pretty one-sided relationship. Our "friendship" with them, and I use that term loosely, costs us far more than it gains us.cavete terrae.

grue 1 #8 November 19, 2013 BerttIsn't that one of the differences between a friendship and a business deal? Our relationship with Israel is neither, unless it's a VERY bad business deal for us. They take and take and take, and it earns us the animosity of others in the region with whom a relationship would be much more useful. The best way to describe our relationship with Israel is like a shit-talking little guy in Compton who has a big cousin outside if town that he steals from, takes money from, and makes come to the neighborhood and do a lot of his dirty work. Then everyone starts hating the big cousin and the benefit of this is, well, nothing.cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just saying it's either the shittiest business deal or the worst friendship I can think of. Our support of Israel gets us a lot of hatred that we could do without.cavete terrae.
