Why Israel?

While republicans were lamenting President Obama basically telling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to go fuck himself after Netanyahu's electoral victory last week (led by their biggest crybaby, the always wrong John McCain), the debate we should be having over Israel is not being discussed.

Namely, why do we have blind devotion to Israel and is it in our best national interest to continue this fealty?

Considering Israel's uncanny ability at least over the course of my lifetime to make a bad political situation worse, and especially in light of last week's election shenanigans in Israel (racism, democracy--what democracy?),  it's becoming increasingly clear that Israel isn't worth the trouble or the expense.

Just because we always have, doesn't mean we always should.
