Look, I hate Biden as much as you do but I cant trash the fucker because in a week and a half you are going to get your ass handed to you on a platter. After that Im going to have to kiss Bidens ass so Im just going to play it neutral for now. But thanks for four years of being a total wimp and giving me what I wanted so you would think I see you as a big shot.

(1,535 posts)....the "third rail in American politics". Fucking Trump let fucking Bibi annex the Golan Heights without paying any penalty. I really hope that this aspect of American foreign policy changes dramatically next year.

(36,192 posts)Bibi aside, Israel's and our interests coincide when it comes to the planet's believer wars. Trump gets absolutely no credit for anything he "gives" Israel. We have fortified that state against the Muslim world, and we're with them because we put them there after WWII.
I don't agree with its racist constitution and don't support zionism, but it's a fact that both parties have helped allies survive. And this one is particularly strong in current and future cyberwars.

(21,724 posts)as an uncodified constitution, like the UK, Canada, and a few other nations. In Israel, it is based on legal precedents and the Basic Laws, which were written, or codified, with the intention of being incorporated into an eventual written constitution.
So, they do not have a formally written constitution, but they do have a set of laws that function legally like a constitution on which the Israeli Supreme Court bases its rulings.
But I think you probably know that already.

wnylib
(21,724 posts)It is accurate to say that Israel has no formally written constitution. But it is not entirely accurate to say that Israel has no constitution at all.

(17,994 posts)....our intel communities work closely among other things, but to say they're a difficult ally is an understatement. Like a mini France in that regard. Then again, we don't give France bajillions of taxpayer dollars every year. That part of our relationship most definitely needs to be reassessed. Israel is more than capable of standing on its own two feet. It doesn't need the help of American taxpayers.
