finds its best friend in the Middle East in an oppressive, apartheid government.

I know that some Jews have always been uncomfortable with the hardline State view, while others fully support the heavy hand and support strengthening its grip.

I don’t like that we pour billions of dollars in aid and weapons into such a government.

Save your breath before you call me antisemitic, I am not. But I am fairly strongly opposed to organized religion in general.
