What is with all the Anti-Israel sentiment? I get America first. I'm all for it. But one of my fundamental beliefs is that the United States should protect Israel. All of their neighbors want to nuke them off of the face of the planet (hence concerns with the Iran Nuclear Deal). Yes Star and Stripes over any other nations flag, our country first. But what's wrong with having ardent support for Israel?
They have done great for themselves. If you look at the region on satellite, you will see it is the only region anywhere close to there that is lush and green. Israeli agriculture tops some of the world's advancements in that area. It's incredible what they are able to do. The only other places remotely close to there aren't really civilized areas. The Nile Delta is green and so is Mesopotamia (which is several hundred if not a thousand miles from there).
I apologize for the rant. It just hurts me to see people being so negative against Israel. The last thing I will leave with is this. I saw a video once shared by (I think Steven Crowder, but don't quote me on that) where he went to University of California at Berkeley and began waving a big ole Israeli flag. A huge Star of David. People were cursing at him, exclaiming "How could you support those evil people!" People scoffing at him, to the point the flag bearer was being bullied. Then, he got the OFFICIAL flag for ISIS (Black with the Arabic writing) and began waving it. Few people said anything. A few people actually patted him on the back and encouraged him for standing up to something he believed in. It was shocking to me.
So all in all, I am an American First, but I am
PROUD
to stand with Israel.
