But when they can't, it absolutely does matter the response you take when it involves the killing of folks around them in order to lower the threat level to oneself.
At a certain point, reducing a threat through the murdering of innocents puts you as one of the baddies, and we've already passed that point.
I don't like it support the government of Israel. I have stated in this thread that they are the worst of America's current allies (AFAIK).
I don't like the idea of any country existing to serve a particular religion, and I wouldn't be sad to see any such country cease to exist.
But of course this also applies to every other country in the middle east, most of which have attacked Israel at some point, and have been shown to be much greater dangers to Americans than is Israel.
All those countries also have horrible standards of human rights even for their own citizens. Israel doesn't treat their women as property and mutilate their genitals. They don't execute people for not practicing their religion. They don't import people from other countries to basically live as slaves. They don't crash planes into buildings.
Every one of the Muslim countries in the area is far worse than Israel. It's so hypocritical for there to be so much criticism of Israel but not a peep about how truly horrifying Islamist states are. If Palestine ever governs itself, it will surely be at least as bad as all the others. That's why I don't support any assistance being given to the Palestinian people.
