Israel, even under its current government, is the least oppressive, most progressive, least apartheid (whatever creative definition for the term you wish to use for it) state in the Middle East.

If the US foreign aid is to be governed by your standards, Israel should be the last Middle Eastern state to lose it. Feel free to suggest a better friend for the US in the Middle East.

Having said this, the above post has nothing to do with the OP, except as an opportunity to use the term "apartheid" as an insult rather than a fitting description.
