I have a strong dislike of the leadership an military policies of Israel. I am very aware of The family and C Street..I recall posting a link to an article about both in the past. I have also linked to some of the outrageous stunts by the Westboro Baptist Church. I do think that if you hold public office you duty should be to the interests of United States, not to the interests of a foreign government. I have known people who have worked for human rights organizations in Gaza and the West Bank and have read their accounts of life under Israeli occupation. I've also read their accounts of the actions of Israeli settlers in these areas and do not think that we should support Israeli efforts to expand settlements in the West Bank no matter if they think they have a religious mandate to occupy these lands. Israel has a right to exist, but it does not have a right to deny justice to Palestinian people.
I don't hate Israel...
