    Good. Only ~215 countries to go. No one should have normal interactions with Israel or anyone who supports Israel.

      Being able to talk to a government is a far cry from supporting it or agreeing with it. Even if you dislike Israel, you should want there to be diplomatic relations - that is how other countries can exert influence and attempt to steer them off more radical courses, after all.

      Case in point - if the West had no diplomacy with them, then the opening of the border crossing into Egypt would never have happened.

        There is probably a place between stupid and ridiculous that you could have aimed for. Amazingly, you managed to hit both of those.

      So that iran can just waltz in and do the same thing to Israel that Israel is doing to the Palestinians?

      That's somehow a better outcome?

        I feel like Palestine would have something to say if "Iran" just waltzed in (how?) and decided to setup a concentration camp for jews, since israel as a country would rightfully no longer exist.
