I would be pleased to see Iran's military capacity disabled if there were a feasible plan. If there were a way to knock out their nuclear facilities I would be all for it.

I think it's unlikely - and unfair? - to disable a country's military capacity. Reduce/limit, absolutely, but every country should be able to defend itself.

C - Our support of them is what makes us a target to Islamic militants. And we give them way too much, billions of dollars each year that they use to make life worse for the Palestinians.
That said, our support makes that region incredibly unstable, which is important for some of our long-term interests (oil). I would expect, however, that once the Iranians make a nuclear bomb, we're going to stop bending over backwards for Israel.

Your point is what, exactly? We should be anti-Semite, become
Islamic extremists so they will like us?
We would be a huge target regardless.

Nah. Surely Islamic extremist terrorists don't kill other Muslims
because WE support ISRAEL.
good...gravy
"The early Wahhabi movement, which had formed a political alliance with the Saudi family, attacked Shi’ites as heretics and even sacked the Iraqi Shi’ite holy city of Karbala in 1801, slaughtering its residents. The Taliban, who came out of Islamic seminaries in Pakistan funded by Saudi Arabia and inspired by its Wahhabi doctrine,13 actually continued this violent Wahhabi tradition through their harsh treatment of Afghan Shi’ites. - See more at: http://jcpa.org/article/israel-is-not-the-issue-militant-islam-and-america/#sthash.KDNVjriE.dpuf"

Still don't see how someone is an anti-Semite for disagreeing with Israel. That doesn't mean someone hates jews. It means they disagree with a country's policies.
-
No. They've positioned it so that you either support Israel unconditionally or you're an anti semite. Muslims learned this lesson so now if you speak against Islamic terrorism you're an Islamophobe.
-
Oh yeah forgot about that. I am also a klansman if I disagree with the president's decisions.

Because it isn't true. Nobody is saying that. Anti-semite means HATRED FOR JEWS.
So, we should withdraw all support for Israel so the terrorists will like us?

They'll still hate us. Anything else is just nonsense. And why disagree with their policies?
What is it that you disagree with ? You become one of them, or you die.
-
I didn't even say I disagreed. I am just saying anyone who questions our dedication to giving billions to a perfectly capable country get the "antisemite" label dropped on them. I don't like welfare queens or charity cases.
-
sorry, but I haven't seen that "anti-semite" label used for disagreeing
about aid to them.

Wrong. You aren't comprehending my posts. The false point "Our support of them is what makes us a target to Islamic militants" by. Vapor
was bs.
I simply took the opposite side of that, to the extreme, so show they STILL WOULD NOT LIKE US.
Which, is to say, "anti-semite" is the opposite of supporting Israel, to the extreme, not that
disagreeing with Israel makes you "anti-semite".
Unless you're saying that because you disagree with Israel, you completely withdraw all support, which would
reflect a hidden anti-semitic agenda.
THINK before you "gotcha".
As in, russia has been victimized by islamic militant violence. They don't support Israel, but I don't see them
as being anti-Semitic, it's just more profitable to support the radical other countries in the region.
-
Your logic is faulty.
-
It is not. You are just conveniently seeing it the way you want to.
Nobody thinks that disagreeing with Israel is "hating Jews". That's stupid.
But disagreeing with Israel because you hate Jews, the latter is anti-Semitic.
IOWs, Nobody who agrees with Israel all the time, is anti-semitic by the definition of
the word. But on the flip side, you can hate Jews, therefore be anti-semitic, and because
of that, you disagree with Israel.
Or, you can disagree with Israel and not be anti-semitic at all. But I took the extreme of the first,
and went with the extreme of the third, with "simply disagreeing with Israel" as middle ground.
Think about it.

5 BAD ASS Things About Bibi Netanyahu You Should Know
by Smith Callen | Top Right News
Many Americans who have never heard Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before, were left in awe of his command presence when taking the stage, and also his ability to rhetorically demolish Obama’s absurd rhetoric about a nuclear Iran to bits.
On the outside, we can all see the visible attributes that makes Bibi such an incredible leader, and wish we had a leader who stood up to terrorists and Islamofascists, instead of appeasing them.But what you probably didn’t know is that Bibi was quite the badass in his youth, and before taking over as Israel’s leader, he racked up quite the impressive list of accomplishments, as well as made incredible sacrifices for his country.
As compiled by IJReview, here are 5 badass things you probably didn’t know about Bibi:
1. War hero
The Israeli leader enlisted in the IDF at the young ate of 18, serving in an elite commando unit. He went on to fight in three different wars for his country.
Below: Bibi during a special forces assault of a terror compound
2. Has taken bullets for his country
Deployed on many dangerous special forces missions throughout his military career, Bibi took a bullet in the shoulder while attempting to rescue the passengers of a plane hijacked by terrorists in 1972. He served on the front lines in the Yom Kippur War, where he was almost killed in the Suez Canal.
Above: Lieutenant Benjamin Netanyahu during a ceremony to honor the Soldiers from his Sayeret Matkal commando unit. Here he is greeted by then Israeli President Zalman Shazar.
3. His family paid the ultimate sacrifice for Israel
During the famous “Raid on Entebbe” in Uganda, Lt. Colonel Jonathan Netanyahu, Bibi’s brother, paid the ultimate sacrifice for his country, as he was killed in action while leading his special forces troops attempting to rescue 100 of his countrymen who had been held hostage on a hijacked flight by Palestinian and East German terrorists.
Not a single hostage was killed, and Netanyahu — the siege’s commander — was the sole Israeli casaulty in an operation that is still taught in military schools to this day. (Hollywood even made a film of it starring Charles Bronson.)
4. Super Smart
Not only a tough as nails soldier, Bibi is also as smart as a whip.
He earned degrees in Management and Architecture, from two of the most prestigious schools in the country — Harvard and MIT. He would go on to be recruited to work for Boston Consulting in 1976, as a coworker of Mitt Romney and eventually becoming a personal friend.
5. One of the most successful politicians in history
He has held these positions since entering Israeli politics:
- Deputy Chief of Mission, Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC (’82-’84)
- Ambassador of Israel to the United Nations (’84-’88)
- Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs (’88-’91)
- Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office (’91-’92)
- Chairman of Likud, Leader of the Opposition (’93-’96)
- Prime Minister (’96-’99 & ’09-present)
- Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister (’02-’03)
- Israeli Finance Minister (’03-’05)
- All around badass (1949-present)
So before Barack Obama (who can be seen below during his drug-addled “Choom Gang” phase, at the same exact age as the Bibi that accompanies him) tries to further mess with Netanyahu, he might wish to review the list above.
Bibi is a true bad ass.

I agree with Cal here. he wasn't saying that disagreeing with Israel is anti-semitism. he was making the point that no matter what some people say, the idea that Muslim hostility against United States would disappear if we withdrew support for Israel is foolish.It is not. You are just conveniently seeing it the way you want to.
Think about it.
I bet that if we withdrew all support, all aid and all relations the jihad would continue.
Bottom line, the United States could pursue an actively antisemitic foreign policy and those who hate us would still hate us. I think that was clear.
