There's a strong case to be made that they are also extremely homophobic and definitely religiously discriminatory. They are first class bigots, imo.

As far as carrying water for Israel, I don't think of it that way. I think of us as having mutual interests. One of the main shared interests in fact is the lack of bigotry and the respect for the rights of minorities of every kind. Israel stands out there.

Is going to war against Iran the right thing to do? I don't think we know for sure. I don't anyway. I just know with a high degree of certainty that the Islamic Republic, who currently hold the Iranian people hostage, target civilians, foment terrorism, and attack countries that didn't attack them are bad guys.
