I find it funny how many of these Republicans who tout fiscal responsibility recently voted to send $205 million to Israel.  Only one Republican voted against it.

Ron Paul, I presume?

Of course.

That's what I don't like about Ron Paul.

That he's an honest fiscal conservative?

Depends whether you beleive its in our national security interest to support Israel.

Our support for Israel is a national security threat, if anything.

I disagree.  I think breaking ties with Israel would cause them to act desperately, which could put our troops in danger in Iraq.  I also think there would be nothing to hold Israel back from pushing the arabs out of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. 

We had a positive reputation in the Middle East before we started backing Israel.  If we stopped treating them like the 51st State, and stopped meddling in the region, the threat of terrorism against our country will eventually go away.  Of course, those who wish us harm will not instantly drop their arms, but the children born in the Middle East today may not grow up to put on a suicide-vest if they grow up in a world where American troops are not on their land, and where Israel is not using American money to fund what it is doing to the Palestinian people.  It is a better solution than dropping more bombs, which only creates more terrorists.

It is in our national security to interest to prop up a rogue terrorist regime/ apartheid state?
It not an apartheid, terrorist state and its certainly not rogue.  I think the situation in the middle east would be much worse for the arabs if we didn't keep Israel on a leash.

That's what democrats don't understand. If we stop supporting Israel, then Israel would take over their friends to the east.

Didn't you want that a few days ago?

one of the reasons as to why i sometimes seem pro-Israel is because the other crowd is so radical. They suggest that we should stop sending Aid to Israel....

Right, how radical, stop spending money stolen from the American taxpayers to fund a militaristic apartheid state.

It's not even just that. We shouldn't be funding anyone's country except our own, especially now.

See, you two are agreeing on something.  Now kiss and make up.
