I mean sure but at this point I think that the American powers that be still see the cost benefit analysis leaning in their favor. The influence they buy in the Middle East through our proxy state of Israeli is more important than Palestinian lives. I think if it was anything else then the call would’ve been placed long ago yk?

From a social viewpoint this sounds great. But from a military and national security standpoint this is something we can’t simply stop. Israel not only helps develop our weapons, but betters our cybersecurity, and is single handedly holding off multiple middle eastern adversaries. The best we can do is ask for the safety of unarmed civilians, but at the end of the day Israel is fit to deal with it as they please because they were attacked (and yes Ik the history between the two).

I don’t disagree with you. The point is America could easily stop this due to how dependent Israel is on us. But yes I agree with you on the reasoning as to why they haven’t done it

I feel like Israel holing of multiple Middle Eastern advisers is definitely a them problem & it’s also the point. Them losing our protection would force them to chill for that very reason. As for the cybersecurity yes we’re becoming more & more of a surveillance state & Israel does help with that. I personally believe that’s bad for the average American citizen

I agree Israel definitely is in the wrong a majority of the time. But everyone needs allies and for a few reasons it seems Israel is a top priority ally for right now.

Israel needs us far more than we need them. Israel doesn’t do anything for the lives of the average American although they do help the military industrial complex which historically doesn’t benefit the average American.

It’s simply the age of proxy warfare. Just so happens a lot of Israel’s enemies are supported by Russia which makes it a shared interests. One reason many people don’t talk about though is probably high worth Jewish people influencing politics for the sake of Israel’s interest.

I wouldn’t blame anything on Jews being in positions of power. I’d say 🐸 was 100% correct in their assessment. Also there’s far more Christian Zionst that support Israel then Jewish Zionist. So it has nothing to do with Jews. But yes we are in the age of proxy wars that I agree with you on although I wouldn’t say that’s the exact reason for what’s going on

middle eastern adversaries that we only have mostly due to Israel’s actions… “is fit to deal with it as they please” well no actually, they’re committing a genocide in plain view, live-streaming it and using our money to do it. we have every right not only to stop funding them but to bring netanyahu to justice.
