Why are they moving warships into the area?

Preparing for their new war with Iran.

Playing large scale battleship. They will erect the middle bit soon using some kind of strip so you can't cheat.

I dunno, maybe they have to prevent genocide so they don't make an ass of them selves on the international stage (again) and embolden even more Islamic terrorism? That might be it.

Let me euphemize this for you properly.

"We are posting soldiers there to keep the peace. Also we're creating a zone of 10 kilometers where no Palestinians can live to keep Israelis safe. Also we're settling Israelis into the zone. Oh, now the Palestinians are close again. Now they need to move another 10 kilometers to keep Israelis safe. Also, we're settling Israelis into the zone. Oh, ..."

Looks like uncle Joe isn't onboard with the Israeli right wing agenda.

The best way to stop Israel from doing this is to threaten to stop sending money to Israel.

I don't know if that'll make a significant enough dent. Looking at some numbers, the US aid clocks to about 10% of Israel's military spending.

Correct Israel doesn't need money, it needs world to look the other way or support what they are doing now.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Why do they even send money to Israel?

Aren't they a fairly wealthy country? It's like sending money to Canada.

It's to test weapons systems in a real world context.

Like people legit don't make this connection. The data from the Iron Dome is incredibly valuable. Likely the US is getting data on Bunker busting and tunnel clearing tech.

But he said he was convinced that “the Israelis are going to do everything in their power to avoid the killing of innocent civilians.”

Don't be so sure

As if they haven’t been murdering Palestinians for decades…

Talk is cheap

And are there consequences?
