More Proof of American Politician's Lack of Will
Reader comment on item: A Consulate in Jerusalem

Submitted by Stephen Hancock (United States), Jan 19, 2006 at 07:28

Here is more proof (as though any more were needed) of the absurdity of "political correctness". It's hardly a secret that politicians run scared from anything that even hints at preference for Israel over the "palestinians". I'm not sure why the arab people are so anti-U.S when our politicians do everything in their power to appease them, except pull funding from Israel altogether.

American politicians dump money on Arab states, most of which are repressive, anti-Christian regimes that wouldn't get a cent of US money if they were secular states and non-Muslim.
