While I'm no fan of giving aide to Israel, cutting said aide would do nothing in stemming the violence that oozes out of muslim countries. And as it stands now, I?d much rather muslims be a little more pissed off at the jews than the USA. If we stopped giving Israel aide, and Israel was to crumble, who do you think they are going to turn their attention to then?
