Would you support Israel if it fell under a non-democratic government?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

As much as I'd like to think the answer is no, the honest answer is that I would support Israel as long as they remain a Jewish State.

Israel now, Israel forever.

Ben, you are such a hypocrite. How is that any differant than calling for America to be a white state?

I'm not calling for Israel to become a Jewish State, even though it already is.  I'm not saying Israel should remove all non-Jews, either.  I'm saying that as long as Israel remained a Jewish State, I would support it.

Oh, and welcome back

Do you support the status quo, a two state solution, a one state solution, or ethnic cleansing as the far right supports in Israel?

Only the most extreme radicals would support ethnic cleansing; not even Bibi or Lieberman supports that.  I, of course, do not.  The status quo is not a good position, and cannot be maintained.  I support a two state solution, with an undivided Jerusalem as the Capital City of Israel.

So in other words if Israel launched preemptive wars of aggression against its neighbors and carried out ethnic cleansing, you would still support it

If Israel launched a war against Iran, I'd probably support it.  I would not support unnecessary wars of aggression, and I would never support ethnic cleansing.

Of course, if Israel ever did do that, then it would cease to be a Jewish State.

Contradictory statements.

Perhaps so.  In any case, I do not support ethnic cleansing, and would not support Israel if it tried to do so.
