You wouldn't be able to grasp more evolved concepts such as "our blind support for Israel prevents establishement of a real peace in middle east". It is VERY different than what you stated above.

For you, it is black or white. If we say that your blind biased support for Israel is hurting the peace process, your response is "if we widthdraw all support, it won't automatically create peace".

For peace to happen, there are many pieces of the puzzle that must fit into place. You work piece by piece. And one of those pieces is the way the USA gives Israel special protection which it does not give to other countries. It is an irritant that prevents real peace from happening. It doesn't require the USA to stop supporting Israel alltogether.


Same thing with Iraq. The debate in the USA is at baby levels. To have troups or to widthdraw troups alltogether. This is stupid. There is no debate on the mandate given to troups, there is no real debate on establising a real government that the people of Iraq will respect (instead of one which is friendly to the USA) etc.
