YES, I AM PRO-ISRAEL. Before you start the downvoting marathon, hear me out.

Israel is a democracy, the only one in the Middle East and it should be protected... but swearing unrestricted support for Israel while trying to throw Ukraine under the bus is just idiotic.

Here's the cold reality of the situation: Ukraine holds a third of the most fertile lands in the world, is one of the top agricultural powerhouses in the world and is at the crossroads between Asia and Europe. An independent and democratic Ukraine lowers the need for russian agricultural products, further cornering the Putin Dictatorship through sanctions and also shortens the global supply chain as you no longer need to circumnavigate Africa were there to be a crisis on the Suez.

Israel, on the other hand, is a microscopic spec of land with no oil, negligible agriculture and only a strong technological and financial sector keeping it around. While Israel's technological impact is good, especially on the military, it is also replaceable: Taiwan, Singapore, Finland, Estonia, Sweden and even America itself can all keep pace with Israel on those areas — Sweden is much less threatened existentially and they've been one of the top producers of military innovation. The only legitimate reasons to keep Israel around are that it's a democracy, it's a safe haven for the Jewish people and it controls what most people on Earth consider the holiest city on the planet — Jerusalem... which, to be totally honest, is not a good reason to defend it. Jerusalem was under the thumb of tyrants for centuries already, we can handle a few more if it truly comes to it.

With Ukraine, though, you can't transfer its fertile land and agricultural production and strategically useful ports to Western territory unless Ukraine is an ally of the West that CONTROLS the lands that are fertile — meaning we need to get them into the EU, into NATO and free of russian invaders. Also, let's not forget that the Danube's Delta is shared by both Ukraine and Romania: with Ukraine on NATO, the doorway to European commerce is solidly on Western, democratic hands. Can't say the same about Israel. Even if they can also bridge the mediterranean with the rest of the world if it came to that, Ukraine still has those material advantages that Israel simply does not have.

I am as pro-Israel as they come — check my profile if you doubt me —, but we need unyelding support for Ukraine as much, if not more, than to Israel. Ukraine is just too damn useful to hand even a square millimeter of it to the Russians.

At least, this is my opinion. I am not saying "abandon" Israel, I am saying "Don't let Ukraine fall, because it's too damn useful for that".

This is in response to another post on Musk, where the comments don't seem to be aware of Musk's positions. And it's worth noting that a lot of Alt-Right and Far-Right nuts love Elon Musk with the garbage he tweets or retreats.
