Our ongoing, and much-needed, support of Israel is one of the select few proper decisions we’ve made; in the realm of Middle-Eastern policy… and as such, it benefits us greatly! In the marketplace of character, philosophy and ideals, this alignment is proper, fitting, and just. As the debate, going on around us, rages [with an alarming amount of data from both sides], the more relevant facts speak for themselves.

Israel is an openly democratic nation, on a landmass surrounded by: despots, dictators, and tyrants. Its domestic population is largely of jewish biological and religious descent.

They have relocated millions at considerable personal expense… given away land - greater than their own - hard fought for through wars of their enemies own choosing… created military buffer zones… and even built barriers and erected very large walls. And yet, without anything - other than a momentary concession - on the part of their enemies, we continually implore them to do more!

How much must they give, before we’ll finally embrace them as our spiritual and philosophical equals? Because, they have given far more, than
