Of course I care.
Bullshit.
Just as, when I was in school, and I saw a bully picking on someone, I cared about my nose. I truly regret the times I cared more about my nose than the person being beat on, however.
Is this supposed to be some kind of proper analogy to support unflinching, 100% US support for all things Israel? A more appropriate metaphor would be to say you saw a bully beating up on some puny kid, and so you bought the bully brass knuckles, gave it millions of dollars of other people's money to spend on more brass knuckles, and then covered for the bully when called to the Principle's office to explain the situation (UN Vetos). When the puny kid's estranged brothers come and beat your ass for it, not really caring about their puny brother but merely looking for an excuse to fight, which you gave them by your support of the bully, you sit there saying "what did I ever do to them? They must hate me for my good looks and my riches."
