There are lots of valid criticisms that can be made on the actual facts of what occurred.

She did not make a statement, official or otherwise, "all Israelis should be relocated to the United States", nor did she make a "proposal" for such a concept.

Yeah, that's that whole "valid criticisms" thing I talked about.

And yet for the general public that makes for fuck-all as shown by how no white-skinned person was kicked off a plane or even attacked or murdered for Sounding Arabic or Looking Muslim.

The average member of the public will not kill a Muslim or Arab. Those are a tiny minority, just like terrorists are. Don't generalize.

Here's a post related to politics I literally just made in another thread. It is riffing off a joke discussion I had of the same theme previously in the thread with another poster, being a pretty clear satire of the beliefs for energy policy direction we both shared.

How seriously should that be taken?

In an alternate world where the Israelis could be convinced to go along with such a scheme it seems it would be quite logical on paper. The financial argument is rather compelling, and the Israelis would benefit from it as well in that they would now have official senate and house seats, in addition to their lobbyists and PACs. The only downfall I can see here is that without Israel as a common adversary, the newly formed state of palestine and their neighbors would no longer be united against a common adversary, and consequently would lead to additional instability as their squabble inevitably devolves back to the old shia/sunni divide. Might wind up saving on foreign aid to Israel only to pay for it at the pump later.

No, we really don't need more of them here thank you very much.
