I cannot stress enough how much I do not care about Israel.

I care about Canada and Mexico. We should be a strong continent but we have singlehandedly ruined our reputation in 2 years.

Outside of them, and if you aren't Five Eyes; quite frankly, we shouldn't even be talking (outside of trade).

So tired of being a war-reliant economy. It's like being with a toxic partner.

    Uh, you understand that what happens in one country impacts other countries yes? Climate change for example. Space policy, human rights, etc.

    Human rights in one country generally does not affect another except as inspiration for popular revolution; but the other two have some point.

    However, realistically, no. Israel's existence specifically should not impact anything in the US. The fact that it does is down to just pure corruption and nothing else. If Israel disappeared tomorrow, every US citizen would be better off (not that the white supremacists that created Israel wouldn't push for just a different Israel to be created.)
