For as long as I can remember, we've sent them billions EVERY year. For that much cash we could have bought all the Palestinians and set them up in Florida. The empire is no longer bringing in loot and we know what happened to previous empires when that turning point came about. Which begs the question- Why are billions going there?

I am not an Israeli or Palestinian. Why should I care? Read the Founding Fathers. This really has no effect on my life or my family. Why should any American care? I’m an American.

For example, bailout of the Plutocrats and the co-opting of private industry by the State. Bush was bad, Obama is worse. But yes, the more important point is that both have set America on a blatantly foolish trajectory, so the GOP is only "better" in that right-wing statism is a slower boat to internationalist centralization than left-wing statism.

Really? Where? When? Lip service doesn't count. "the Dems are better at foreign policy..." Hardly. See Af-Pak. There is some glimmer re Israel-Palestine, but it is within the interventionist context. "We" need to withdraw, not manage better. “The GOP is better at domestic policy,….”

The Zionists want to bomb Iran, and don't want to relent to the Palestinians their long-promised state. The Obama administration doesn't really want to bomb Iran, and does want the Palestinians to have their state. It's amazing that a president that has decent judgment on Mideast policy is so clueless on American domestic and economic policy, but that's really the hobgoblin that has bedeviled the U.S. for years now: The GOP is better at domestic policy, terrible at foreign policy; the Dems are better at foreign policy, but terrible at domestic policy. Neither party, on balance, is good at American policy all around, and the damage done by each parties’ weaknesses wind up vastly outweighing the good accomplished by their strengths.
