As an American my money goes against my wishes to fund a lot of hate culture in my own backyard that I think worsens the world and increases danger in far more destructive ways than Israel stupidly, but humanely, turning away tourists at her borders.
It's not that I am practically funding these practices, it is that I am funding these practices.
It's also arguable that the example here, of a sovereign nation turning away a tourist is any sort of example of hate culture.
And the argument that if any country takes our aid then they have to live up to our laws and expectations in each and every case is neither realistic, nor always helpful, nor does it seem to lead to ends that we want.
- dalke 14y agoThis did not come across from your previous posting. I read it as saying that we spend so much more on these other projects that we shouldn't be so concerned with the money we send to Israel. Thank you for your clarification. But then I don't understand why the TSA is listed there. While I am opposed to it in part because it does not add any extra security, I am not aware of any "hate crime" influence in its operations.
- jerrya 14y agoI think TSA here, in subway stations, and abroad (ask foreign travelers what they think of when traveling to the US) is responsible for a great deal of hate culture related to the US.
- dalke 14y agoThat does make sense now. Thanks!
- rsanchez1 14y agoIt's a logical connection to make. The story is about travel security creating a nightmare in Israel. The TSA creates a nightmare for travelers in the US.
