I mean the whole point is comparing these two scenarios?

Comparable but not directly, it’s mostly dumb but there are valid arguments being made such as sending soldiers to fight wars on whomever’s behalf

Perhaps you aren’t aware (I wish I wasn’t) but a common far right wing talking point is that Israel is a “colony” of the US. As if the US is merely being victimized by the evil Jews

That’s a left wing talking point bc it IS a proxy colony of the US and its allies

That’s not saying WE’RE (the US) is being victimized. It’s the opposite

Sorry I meant to say it backward lol. That the US is a colony of Israel

I’m sure you meant the reverse of what you said but what I will say is the Israeli government started the war with Iran and is now saying they’ll let the US and Iran fight while they sit on the sidelines

This meme is clearly about the US being victimized

I agree that it makes much more sense the other way, that’s why this meme is problematic

The US could have refused as they have for decades. Trump decided not to because he’s an idiot who bought bibis bullshit. Israel would love to bomb Iran because they hate the MOU. The US is pressuring them not to

In fact I would bet money that as this fake ceasefire completely falls apart Israel will get right back to bombing

Again if you think the US is “oppressed” by Israel that is magical thinking fueled by antisemitic conspiracy. I will never not think that. The US is the most powerful country in the world.

I definitely don’t think the US is “oppressed” or anything close to that, what I do think is Israel uses a variety of tactics to get what they want out of the US. Financing specific pro-Israel candidates, lobbying, and espionage are all proven activities the Israeli government uses to get the intel and aid it wants from the US

Yes and that is not at all equivalent to saying that the US is a colony of Israel as these meme implies. Colonialism = oppression

And I won’t get into the fact that other countries do the same. Reference the plane gifted to Trump by Qatar. And whatever you think of aipac they are funded by pro Israel Americans
