Isreal isn't really a touchy subject.

The USA supports a state that systematically marginalises and oppresses a significant population.

I don't understand what you're trying to convey here in relation to what I said. Are you asking me whether Frances actions were justifiable? I don't know.

Iraq annexing Kuwait was only a big deal because it went against US interests. The USA had no problem funding Saddam while he was commiting atrocities against his own people. Let's not forget that the USA was Iraq's ally too.
