Logical Support for Palestine is a fallacy, political support a reality: WHY?

DRAFT OF MIDDLE-EAST ANALYSIS:

FOREIGN POLICY IS PERFECTLY SELFISH AND IS AMORAL: We stand where we sit. Quote. France 25% Muslim. Europe major radicalism problem that they prefer to avoid (appeasement history). America may be more moral and has done many things that defy the argument that all foreign policy is amoral. However, historically, our foreign policy back to G. Washington was very realpolitic.

ARGUING WITH SOMEONE WHO IS NOT ARGUING IN GOOD FAITH IS WORSE THAN FOOLISH: Arguing with fools is foolish, but arguing with another who is not a fool, but is arguing in bad faith for the very purpose of deceit is worse than foolish. There is a historical, long-term plan to destroy Israel (citation from that book). Israel-Arab conflict reduced to rhetoric is no argument at all: Israel is absolutely right. (History of conflict: Jews always mistreated and killed; treated Arabs humanely. Immigration historically (from that book). Palestine exists for this very purpose. Otherwise, the Arab states would absorb the population ASAP. Parallels to Chamberlin arguing and appeasing Hitler are simply unavoidable. Hitler was never conquering territory for the reasons he stated. "Diplomacy" simply emboldened him and led to the immense catastrophe of WWII, that would have been avoided if Hitler had been confronted.

FOREIGN POLICY THAT IS BOTH PERFECTLY SELFISH AND MORAL ULTIMATELY BEST PROTECTS THE INTERESTS OF AMERICA AND ALL MANKIND: America is a hyper power and has the resources to do the moral and just thing; namely supporting Israel. But that has never been the nature of the foreign policy of any nation, including America. But in this case, doing the right thing and defending our country's interest are the same. This is true of the Europeans, but they appease historically and will never make such a hard choice. Our interest is the same as Israel because the enemy is the same. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. here, the enemy of my friend is my enemy is an even more compelling argument. WWII, the Marshall Plan was selfish and moral. It was arguably so longsighted and expensive so as to be moral at the expense of America's self-interest. But in the end, it was best for Europe, for all mankind and in the end, for America. We are a hyper-power and have an obligation to the entire world to do the right thing, if this is consistent with our self interest.
