In reply to the discussion: Netanyahu to US "Don't ever second guess me on Hamas again" [View all]calimary
(81,238 posts)Excuse me, is Bibi Netanyahu the King of America? Has he forgotten that he and his entire country over there are NOTHING without our help and financial support? Who else in the world is gonna keep funneling OUR tax money over there, shoveling PILES of weapons of all kinds their way with no hesitation or qualifications whatsoever? He is indeed a toddler - walking a St. Bernard/Great Dane/Newfoundland mix.
Sir, I like your suggestion VERY much!
And we HAVE to second-guess everything he says. We simply HAVE TO. In order to make informed decisions and policies, we HAVE TO get the full picture. We have to take into account the ENTIRE picture over there, not just what one party on one side says it is. We HAVE TO factor in other issues and dynamics. We HAVE TO. We can't just blindly give money and support and allegiance. We can't be doing that with ANY ally, under ANY circumstances.
And I will say too that I support Israel philosophically. I totally agree that Israel DOES have a right to exist and exist in peace. But in order to establish and sustain that, you simply HAVE TO take a whole lot of other issues and variables and conflicting agendas into account - and even accede to some of them.
