[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Israel is not our friend. Neither is AIPAC.[/quote]

Au contraire, Israel's interests align very well with those of the U.S.  Neither is willing to tolerate terrorists or aggressive theocracies seeking to destabilize other countries, both are democracies with free and open elections, and they are partners in trade.  [/quote]

Partners in what trade? Israel has nothing.

Iran can close the strait of Hormuz tomorrow and that will have major global implications on the price of oil. [/quote]

According to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, U.S. total goods trade with Israel were an estimated $37.0 billion in 2024. U.S. goods exports to Israel in 2024 were $14.8 billion, up 5.8 percent ($813.7 million) from 2023. U.S. goods imports from Israel totaled $22.2 billion in 2024, up 6.7 percent ($1.4 billion) from 2023. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Israel was $7.4 billion in 2024, an 8.6 percent increase ($587.0 million) over 2023.

Who cares? Hummus and spyware/technology are not the same as oil.

Oil can cause major ripple effects on the price of gasoline and grocery prices.

Call me when Israel has that resource in their country [/quote]

Few countries have substantial oil reserves.  Does that mean they have no foreign trade?  What an idiotic, and clearly false, assertion.  [/quote]
