we cut off all aid to Israel until that happens. There needs to be strings attached to foreign aid.
I never could understand sending money to a country that has free healthcare while we can’t afford it.

You feel that as a prerequisite for receiving foreign aid from us, countries must charge their poor for healthcare (just like we do.) Let’s face it, the rich don’t care how much they need to pay for healthcare, only the poor.

The bloom is off the Mossad rose: it's very good at figuring out where people sleep, not so good at doing strength analysis.

Netanyahu and Likud were high on their own supply. They learned the lesson learned eventually by all bullies: when you go after somebody who can actually fight back, things are not so easy.
