Small rant from the heartlands


The ineptitude by which our Government conducts itself on the world stage is beyond belief and comprehension. Israel is a sovereign nation. Why has the United States year after year, administration after administration felt compelled to do Israel's negotiations with the Muslim world? Let Israel speak for itself. Let Israel conduct itself as a nation in all matters regarding its ability to remain a viable safe haven for it's people. Hillary Clinton needs to take a break from international bullying. I believe she is suffering from jet lag. I find it short sighted and inexcusable that we spend Billions of taxpayer dollars in support of Israel when 40% of grade school age children in the U.S. live under the poverty line. What is the rate of poverty in Israel? On the one hand the Israeli Government continually asks the U.S. to supply it with military hardware and yet we find that the same Israeli government has people spying on our Government. Does this seem odd to anyone else?
This is not an anti-Israeli attack. I will be in Israel this spring and have only admiration and respect for its people. It's our two Governments that give me pause to reflect and wonder if there exists a better way to live in a world of different views and beliefs.
