TheAlbatross , to Ask Lemmy in Seriously, why is the USA supporting Israel?

This alliance allows the US to maintain a stronger foothold in the Middle East and exert hegemonic power via proxy.

This isn't the only reason, of course, but it's part of it.

TheAlbatross , to 196 in Interstate

Hold up I do want that noodle chain everywhere tho I love me a noodle

TheAlbatross , to No Stupid Questions in Can I just convert to Judaism tomorrow and get a free vacation to Israel?

Converting to Judaism isn't as simple as it is to convert to Christianity.

It will take years of study and effort.

That aside, the govt of Israel will not "offer" you a chance for a Birthright trip. You have to apply for it and demonstrate you meet the requirements. I don't see why you wouldn't qualify, but the Israeli govt is rather close minded about these things. (EDIT: Someone else in the thread has said Birthright Israel accepts converts explicitly, so you should be good here)

THAT aside, don't go to Israel, don't give them any money. What they're doing right now is absolutely monstrous and it's morally inexcusable to support them.
