What are the views of this notion on this board? It is definitely a slippery slope.
On one hand, one could say all of our modern terrorism woes have specifically to do with our state funding and support of Israel as well as our support of their occupation of Palestine.
On the other hand, Israel is basically our only ally in the region, and without our support could possibly be invaded and razed to the ground by hostile neighboring states. If a large-scale war breaks out in the Middle East, they could likely be our only ally in a conventional sense.
I've been back and forth on this issue and heard great arguments from both sides. It seems to be a lose-lose situation. Where do you folks stand? In addition what would you propose as a course of action?
