Why would we support Israel? Because it is the ONLY democracy in the entire area. Princes, dictators, sheiks & kings surround them. The Arab Israelis vote & they do not seek refugee status. Hamas controls Gaza where they launch first strikes. Israel does not stone its women. Or require head coverings. Or prevent them from driving. Or require them to have a man accompany them on trips out of the country. Or require their business to shield them from street views. . Jordan is Palestine via Britain's colonial abandonment required by FDR in order to enter WW2. Pro democracy. Pro woman Pro Israel

And anti-Israel is a problem because....?
I for one find this country, where college puts kids in debt for Decades, sending $$$ to Israel, where college is Free, appalling.
Although of course the money goes to weapons for gunning down Palestinians.....

I have to go with sleepless in Texas the old white guys is getting old really really quick.

I like her! I'm not a fan of Israel either.

It's not a bad place for her and her heritage can almost guarantee us her remarks and beliefs. One big problem of "American Israelism"as I call it is that bible believing Americans were helpful in Israel becoming a state in the first place. This would apparently set the right people in power and also enhance biblical belief. We should note that Israelis do not see this in the same light as we do. We should also note that there was an old idea that Palestinians could get their own state also if they were just be "good little boys." There's no land to give and it will never happen. This is also why their will never be peace in the Middle East. America should never have taken a side.

Better to have her on the House Foreign Affairs committee to provide another point of view rather than the committee be completely full of Christians. Let's have some diversity in our government!

Also, to the people who are saying she's anti-semitic or is justifying terrorism, you are all talking out your asses until you provide a link that proves this.

I see no difference in the comparison, Israel is treating the Palestinians as if they are squatters on their own land. The American Indians are a good analogy! So you expect an Islamic person to be in favor of Israel?

Yes, espescially at this time in our and Isreal's time in history. Have stop our move towards fascism and Isreals toward apartheidism.

While remains important to support the existence of the state of Isreal, that does not mean that we have support the present iteration of their government. Isreal and Republicans do not get the right to call anti-Semitism just because we do not agree with Isreal's present policy choices.

Yes. We do. We've been overrun by reactionaries in the Congress for far too long. Criticizing Israel (whether right or wrong) is far more consistent with the reality than praising Kim Jong Un as a great leader. Now THAT is "radical" and he sits in the White House.

I don't have enough education on the subject to have a strong opinion but I am pretty sure anti Israel isnt the same as Antisemitic. I have get the feeling that those aligned with civil rights seem to be uncomfortable with Israeland the religious right is for it. Also the anti Muslim people seem to be for it. I've seen alot of memes like this but it mostly seems to be from racists who don't like Muslims in government. The same ones that make those posts about muslims and animal sex. Very racist. I don't have respect for it.

I am not Israeli, I am not Palestinian... so I don't have an opinion on that line. Now, if an elected official is whatever background that's fine but work for your American constituents. THAT is the job !!!!!!!
