    Seeing that fuck jump like that makes my heart warm.

    Personally, not sure why we are even helping Iseral anymore. I know we have contracts to assist, but they have already violated international law. That should void everything, and we should be out.

    Now, does that help Gaza? Yes, but now you’re faced with helping them. Which I dont think should be all on the shoulders of the United States. It should be the UN and our regular aid to the UN helping them. If they block that aid, then so be it. We’ll just be in the same boat as every other country.

    If the American people voted for isolation, then become that isolation. Help no one directly. It’s not going to happen because too much money comes into politics.

      Israel is a test of the limits of oppression both technologically and legally. They are building the technology that will allow the wealthy and ruling classes to oppress the poor when things go bad, and developing the legal arguments for why that is okay.

      International aid groups are trying to help people in Gaza but Israel keeps blocking, bombing and shooting them.

      Also the US has legislation against boycotting Israel …

      The US is still helping Israel because Israel is effectively the largest US military base in the middle east, and monitors and protects many US interests in the region: ie makes sure the oil, gas, minerals, and rare earth materials keep flowing and in addition the Suez canal and trade route keeps clear to ensure international trade and transfer of these materials continue without any interference - terrorists, local warlords, or even just populist leaders that want better deals for their populace.

      In short, Israel assists as an enforcer for capitalist wealth extraction from the middle east to the rest of the world.

      As former US army general and secretary of state (under Reagan) and long serving white house chief of staff (under Nixon and Ford) Alexander Haig famously said, “Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security”.

      So that’s the main reason little kids continue to get bombed and shot in Israel. The US is addicted to oil & middle east resources, and the capitalists don’t care what the human cost is as long as order is maintained.

      why are we helping? because washington actively wants the genocide to succeed so washington can be involved (read: profit) in the expansion of israel.

      Because empathy is a sin, and the longer situations like Gaza go on, the more people’s empathy will make them suffer and burn out and feel their empathy doesn’t do anything useful.

      What should happen (should have happened long time ago already, when Israel first illegally “acquired” nukes) is that the US invades Israel.
