Didn't Israel overstep and attack Iran's embassy in Syria? Why are we defending Israel against retaliation for their own stupidity?
Yes. They attacked and then were like you better not attack us in retaliation! Neener neener!
We're like the college-age big brother of the school bully. If you try to stand up to the bully, we'll come kick your ass because no matter how much of a little prick he is, he's family and we've got his back.
So what if our little brother was more than just a prick? A stray punch thrown during a fight knocks some innocent kids' teeth out? What if he killed someone one day by pushing them around too hard? How do you deal with that when the cops are too busy and your parents aren't home?
I wish we, as College-Bro, would quit blindly defending our "family" and start thinking about the recipients. Our little bully brother needs to be grounded for a while like our Russian cousin.
My real question: how would you ground a child holding a loaded gun?
A first step would be to stop giving him more guns
This is a great analogy.
They didn't "overstep" . They committed an act of war. It's as simple as that. And now the yanks want to help them start an illegal war. .
We do not want this. It’s being done against our wishes
It may be against your wishes, but it's being done anyway.
The governments of the world are run by sociopaths. The idea of democratic/federal/republican governance is not inherently evil. The people and syndicates who've siezed power most certainly are.
Biden is acting the same way Trump would (nominally): our (the billionaire class) interests are paramount. Netanyahu's naked aggression is aligned with our sociopathic ruling class's interests.
Our military commanders are wilfully neglecting their duty to our republic and remaining passive or silent about the legality of our country's enabling of Israeli escalation.
Our only hope seems to be Trump and Biden dying of age-related diseases or conditions, and younger voices of reason step in to guide our foreign policy.
My forlorn hope, in the face of continuing catastrophe.
Didn’t Israel overstep and attack Iran’s embassy in Syria?
You mean that thing Israel has been doing since 1948?
Yes. Yes they did.
Why are we defending Israel against retaliation for their own stupidity?
It's not stupidity. It's impunity.
I guess because we'll do ANYTHING for dear Israel. When I say we I mean the west broadly speaking, no soy americano
It's amazing, isn't it? It's like they have blackmail material against the whole west. Like some sort of universal western governmental kompromat.
Very relevant darknet diaries episode:
There are other episodes on Israel's Spyware as well.
Why are we defending Israel against retaliation for their own stupidity?
Israel is more important to the American government that American citizens.
It's why we still support Israel, despite it being one of the main reasons for 9/11.
Wait, what's the Israeli connection to 9/11?
Or did you mean Saudi Arabia?

As for us, our Iraq was invaded in response to pressure from capitalists with greed for black gold, and you continue to support the oppressive Israelis in their occupation of our Palestine in response to pressures on your administration by a Jewish lobby backed by enormous financial capabilities.
They threw hundreds of thousands of soldiers against us and have formed an alliance with the Israelis to oppress us and occupy our land; that was the reason for our response on the eleventh.
It's crazy how few people know this in 2024. It should be a lesson to you all about how much information is being manipulated on all sides.
Why are we defending Israel against retaliation for their own stupidity?
Because Joe Biden is the president and he unconditionally supports israel.
