It's amazing, when you ask conservatives why we *need* to support Israel. "well uhh they're our friends" -but what do they actually do for us, besides invent military technology and healthcare, which Germans, Swiss, Austrians and other Europeans already do? "well uhh...they're a Democracy! Yeah, that's it!" -Jordan is a peaceful country with a constitutional monarchy and has more stability than Israel. It's not a democracy but it's more stable than its neighbor. How does Israel having a democracy benefit us? "well, uhh the Holocaust" -were you alive during the Holocaust? Were you a Nazi party member who benefitted from Jewish labor or something?" "well no, of course not" -so what do we owe Israel? What benefit does us GIVING THEM billions of US taxpayer dollars do for us? The answer is nothing. Literally nothing. *NPC brain fries as they look profoundly stupid and confused, trying to justify a reason for Israel's parasitic relationship with the United States, only to regurgitate another Republican conservative apologist justification for Israel*
