Oh good grief, they do not.

In fact, you can count on what they "question" being the absolute dumbest stuff TO "question." The stuff they really SHOULD question, like, why can we expect that Donald Trump won't go on another spending spree this time in office, or why are we so sure that the 2020 election was stolen with massive numbers of fake votes when Trump barely won in 2016? That stuff...they don't "question" at all. They just take it on blind faith, often with no evidence at all to support it.

The reason that the majority of the board gets it right on Israel is because of religion. And that's fine with me...you know why? Because it's also the same reason that those who get Israel wrong here get it wrong. It bothers them to the point of obsession that some people support Israel because of religion, so they are irrationally opposed to Israel just like other people are irrationally supportive.

Those people cancel each other out IMO.

And what you're left with are people who recognize the obvious advantage to helping maintain the only democratic ally in a region of the world that has that much oil and is otherwise entirely antagonistic to the US and has attacked us in the past and would love the chance to do so again.
