It's a huge mistake, imo. Israel is going to continue to ostracize itself on the global stage till it's the next South Africa and all our money will have been wasted. That's my belief anyways
> Israel is going to continue to ostracize itself on the global stage
Israel has been doing this for decades. It will never become a pariah like S.Africa was so long as the US continues its "unwavering support" for Israel regardless of what it does (and this is firmly supported by both parties). And then people say that the AIPAC lobby isn't real ...
During the Cold War you could sort of claim that US' unwavering support for Israel was a counter-balance to the USSR's support of the Arabs, and therefore "necessary" in the global game between the 2 superpowers. But now that USSR is gone (Russia in even out of Syria), there's no more excuse.
> so long as the US continues its "unwavering support" for Israel regardless of what it does (and this is firmly supported by both parties)
Yeah, I think that will run out basically. They used to have support in Europe and many other countries as well and that has all but dried up at this point.
The problem in the US is 1) criticizing Israel is equated with anti-semitism ; 2) the highly politically active evangelicals believed Israel is the “promised land” for the Jews.
1 is only for Paleo boomers and crazy people. Normal people understand criticizing a county isn't anti-Seimitic just like criticizing Saudi isn't anti-Muslim.
2 those people are dying out as less and less people believe that religion and they have fewer kids than their forefathers
