The United States should break ties with Israel.

I'm practically out of time, so I'll make it very quick. "However, the United States is in no position to pressure China and Russia while America gives political, military and financial succour to Israel because China and Russia can turn round and say that the US is in no position to lecture them on foreign policy while the US continues to back a country which violates international law and human rights on a wholesale basis."Israel, as I have established, is not a pariah state. Even Russia and China both have good relations with it. Furthermore, Russia's ties with Iran aren't going to be broken by mere diplomatic pressure, nor are China's ties with North Korea. Iran represents an easy way to pressure the US in the Middle East for Russia, and for China North Korea is an important buffer state beteen it and the Western allies in the region. Neither are going to abandon their support, barring severe sanctions. However, Russia has important economic ties to European and Central Asian countries, and as a critical energy producer they aren't likely to be boycotted. China is a massive producer of cheap goods and one of the biggest exporters in the world, so I doubt sanctions could be reasonably leveled at them, either."The building of Jewish settlements just a further international crime Israel is accuse of and which presents a serious impediment to peace in the region."It matters very little if the UN declares the settlements to be illegal. If Israel's 280,000 settlers in the West Bank are to be condemned why not China's occupation of Tibet or the millions of Han Chinese settlers in it?: [http://www.webcitation.org...] Merely because Israel violates the letter of the law is not grounds for breaking ties with it."Arabs in Israel are not treated as the equals of Jews in Israel. For example, just like in apartheid South Africa, Arabs have to use separate buses (2) and some private facilities such as the Superland Amusement Park segregates Arabs and Jews. (3)"Note that these are buses for Palestinians in the West Bank, not for Arabs in Israel. The buses are for the safety of the Israelis, not some racist segregation policy, as Israeli Arab can ride them as well. The segregated buses in South Africa were the result of a purely racialist caste system and had nothing to do with safety. The link you give for 3 also claims that Arab and Jews attend segregated schools; this is untrue. Certain schools are designed for each religious group the same way Catholic or Jewish schools exist in the United States, and the Arabs are not discriminated against. I can refute the whole list of claims more thoroughly when I have more time.Furthermore, the article declines to note whether the government actually carried out its threat and took action against the amusement park. Israel (as I have provided substantial evidence for and which Pro has ignored) has substantial support among its Arab population.Finally, I'd like to note that Palestinian only buses and illegal discrimination at an amusement park is no grounds for breaking ties with Israel, unless my opponent believes that we should boycott every country in which ostensibly racist incidents occur.I am out of time and must conclude my round. Note that every argument dropped by my opponent (which would be the vast majority of them) should be considered as concessions.
