    So much for your “respect for basic human rights”

    Pure selfishness disguised as a political position.

      I’m not willing to give up human rights in the US because another country is committing genocide. Yes, we are giving some of the support that helps Israel to do it, but don’t think for a second that they wouldn’t be doing it even without US support. Two countries without human rights is not better than one country without human rights. Call it selfish all you want but idealism that does not adapt to reality helps no one.
