USA should absolutely divest Saudi Arabia before they divest Israel.
I agree. But for some reason he thinks that I am targeting Israel when I believe that most foreign aid should be curtailed.

Except for maybe South Africa,...
Are you saying that religion isn't part of their cultural tradition?
I don't know what more I need to say.
They are a bad ally and don't deserve billions of dollars.
...for some reason [Ethan] thinks that I am targeting Israel...
or cultural origins
How did I know you'd like South Africa?
No. I'm saying that Israel is not an ethno state because ethics relates to race.
Every muslim country is a self-admitted enemy of Israel. Your argument here is just a variation of the loony antisemitic idea that America is controlled by Jews.Israel did not make America go to war, and it wasn't Israel's war. America did what it wanted. In fact, Israel was attacked during the Gulf war and did not respond.
This belief can be held for several reasons. Some of those reasons are perfectly valid to hold, and some of those reason are antisemitic.So the problem is not in believing that Israel is a bad ally and doesn't deserve billions of dollars, but in the reasons why one believes this.
The reasons are your comments. Dredging up incidents from decades ago, calling Israel an ethno state, openly claiming only Europe and South Africa are "worthy" allies, insinuating that Israel controls America enough to "lead" it into war with Israel's "enemies"Your reasons for your position is indistinguishable from that of an anti-semite targeting Israel only on emotional hate.That is my impression, I may not be correct.
