The Neo Nazis, as it gives them a straw man on which to fixate.
Who benefits most from our relationship with Pakistan? Egypt? Jordan? Ukraine? We pay some of them just not to blow us up, but does anyone start a thread whining about that?
No,it is always, Israel, Israel Israel.
Give it a rest Adolf.
wow, one page in and we've already found a reductio ad hitlerum

Better off having Israel on your side than not on your side.
"Every time that anyone says Israel is our only friend in the Middle East, I can’t help but think that before Israel, we had no enemies in the Middle East.”
-John Sheehan, S.J.
“Regarding what took place on September 11, well it’s very good… Well, it’s not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy for Israel.”
— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s response to the attacks on America as reported in The Jerusalem Post, September 12, 2001.
The US-Israel relationship is very close and quite expensive. Does the US gain anything from it? Does Israel?
Israel is a leader in Technology - they invented the Drones, were instrumental in tele-communications and medical advances. The US and Israel are partners in several ventures.
As to the "money" we send Israel, most of it is Loan Guarantees left over from their recession years ago. There has been a lot of talk in Israel about getting rid of those Loan Guarantees - there is also the Money from the Treaty signed with Egypt. Both countries use that money to buy American planes and weapons. Perhaps we should get both countries to agree to just cancel the Funding.
I don't understand all this "anti-Israel" stuff, and never have. Anti-Semitism is on the rise in the USA and in the world. I would not say the "US-Israel relationship is very close". I think that both Obama and Netanyahu try to put a 'happy face' on it, but these men understand each other and don't like each other. They essentially have a 'stand off' as they both have a lot to lose if there is a serious break.
Obama doesn't really have the experience or the temperament to go against a man like Netanyahu.
The O has not enjoyed his dealings with Netanyahu, I don't expect that to 'change'.
I also don't think the Leftists will ever stop with their "Blame Israel for all the troubles in the World".
