"So long as Israel is a lone beacon of democracy and equality (for it's citizens, at least)"
Provided, of course, they're not Arabs.
> a region overrun with misogynistic, anti-democratic, 19th century nations
What's the prostitution rate in Israel? Any Eastern European women kept in brothels as sex slaves?
How much aid has America given Israel?
> I think most Americans will identify and sympathize with Israel.
Like they did Germany until Japan attacked us and Germany declared war? America was content to let Jews die in concentration camps. Was that good?
> I have a wife, a mother, nieces and cousins
Do you like hamburgers, too...speaking of irrelevant matters and all?
> Israel is the only nation in the area that doesn't stone women to death...
What's its divorce rate? Any homophobia? When was the last time a trans-gendered Prime Minister was elected? Any Jewish male babies genitally mutilated?
Fembots talk about respecting differences....until they meet others who actually LIVE differently.
What are the rape stats in Muslim countries?
How backward Arabs are!. If only they had modern weapons they, too, could be like Israel and violently attack weak others. And democraticall endorse torture. And shoot kids who throw stones.
Watch the news about Israel today. Then watch a Holocaust film. The more the former is deemed acceptable, the more the latter is, too. Are Israelis ready for that kind of blowback?
Sooner or later, as death-camp survivors die, the response to Israel-uber-alles defenders who play the Holocaust card will be: "Holocaust shmolocaus! Who cares about all that crap? Start acting civilized, Israel, or face international isolation."
Finally, Israel has no "right" to exist. People do, not countries. Otherwise everyone could call him/herself a nation.
