Reconsidering Israeli Relations

Israel is our ally.  We're the muscle that stands behind them making sure none of the other kids at the Middle Eastern playground pick on them.  But why?

Why do we defend them when Netanyahu keeps building settlements to intentionally encroach on Palestine's territory, and why do we support them when they threaten to ally with terrorists to attack Turkey.iding

It's hard to say.

We should be supporting peace in Israel, not just supporting Israel.  I'm not going to talk about the creation of Israel.  It already happened, and no one can change that, so why anger people with my opinion on that?  Rather. I'll simply propose completely redividing that region.

Divide it so both Palestine and Israel get an equal share of good farmland--for completely secular reasons--and divide Jerusalem between the two states--for completely non-secular reasons.

And even if we don't take action against Israel, let's at least not support them if they threaten to use terrorists, start wars, or threaten to ally with terrorists.  What other country do we do that for?
