both, I love Israel and Israel is and can be wrong,

I don’t actually understand that. I’d like to see Israel do well and have peace with its neighbors, but I have zero emotional attachment to it. It is no more than a fairly mismanaged piece of dirt to me, not to say its neighbors aren’t more mismanaged dirt than it is. We haven’t done a real hot job of managing our dirt, but my entire history is here. Some of my family has been here from the earliest colonial time and as far as I can tell almost all of it pre-Civil War. I appreciate their participation in American history, but I really don’t care about the European part.

My ethnic make up is basically European and culturally mostly English, but I don’t love England. I have a deep and abiding respect for the English contribution to our law and government, but I’m ecstatic that we kicked them out, and I thank them for that opportunity to do so at the point of a gun. What is particularly good about this country grows out of that fact.

I’m not arguing against love of Israel, I just flatly don’t understand it from a non-Israeli. Those are simply my why I don’t, not an argument against.
