    @JonathanInTelAviv

    Me: "Do you therefore support the United States making its "aid" to Israel conditional upon Israel stopping settlement expansion in the West Bank?"

    JonathanInTelAviv: "No. What's one thing got to do with the other?"

    As I noted earlier in tbis thread:

    As anyone who follows the conflict knows, all the United States has to do is make our "aid" to Israeli conditional on Israel stopping settlement expansion and that's what would happen. And since we (the United States) do not do that we are instead actively helping to extend and inflame the conflict.

    Since you say you do not support settlement expansion in the West Bank, specifically what objection do you have to the U.S. making our "aid" to Israel conditional upon Israel stopping settlement expansion in the West Bank?
