Why are our politicians going (by scores) on all-expense paid trips by a foreign government and then returning home and lobbying for that government? This is okay to you?


That only makes sense in a Begging the Question Fallacy, imo.

You seem to be implying that those very same politicians would not support Israel without these "bribes".
Is this accurate?

No sir, that was just a result of my ignorance on the topic. I've already apologized for what I now know were comments that bordered on antisemitic canards. Some governments deserve our trust, especially if they've earned it. Although our country was founded on an inherent distrust of government, I think we should take a flyer on this one.
