Reply #7: Too many pro-Israel, anti-Arab types fight any criticism of Israel. This specific action

[T Wolf]

would have had minimal impact on the Israelis, but their defenders re afraid that it could spread. If enough blood-money was withheld from that country, they might be forced to join the civilized world. Without pressure, they are free to continue their reich-like policies. Worse, support from the US enables them to use most of their own money to persecute non-Jews living in the occupied territories, and elsewhere.

Cut off Israel and make it survive on its own and they might change their ways.
