Treason by the Politicians

I read today's Los Angeles Times article about Vice-President Joe Biden's visit to Israel and some remarks he made while speaking at a gathering of sorts. Our VP made remarks such as, "It's good to be home," and "The cornerstone of the relationship is our absolute, total, unvarnished commitment to Israel's security."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't our politicians be wholly committed to our country only? It sickens me to know that our politicians lack the ability to stop supporting a country that continues to violate international laws repeatedly. I recognize that there must have been some use to have Israel as an ally during the Cold War, however, that time is long gone and support for Israel causes us much more harm than any good.

Why must the US taxpayer support a country to the tune of $7-$10 million dollars per day if it receives nothing in return? The only reason our politicians support Israel is because of the influence the Israel lobby has on this country's political landscape. Any politician that dares challenge Israel in any form is promptly labeled anti-Semitic and targeted by groups such as AIPAC as "enemies of Israel."

I am enraged that politicians rather assist Israel than help out the citizens of this country. Support America and Americans. Israel can take care of its own.
