Israel has comprehensively pissed off all of its neighbours. It knows it can get away with it too, because daddy US will always be there to support them.
The enemies of Israel, condemn Israël. This nothing but , “just another Tuesday”. These countries banded together to destroy the nation a few decades ago, so whatever they have to say on the subject probably interests Israel very little.
Having said that, I wish the violence would end. I cannot see any way that these 2 peoples can Co-exist, but I genuinely hope they find a way without one group eradicating the other.
True. This exposes American foreign policy as hypocritical as it usually is. What is also sad is the fact that US citizens can do little about it as long as nothing fundamentally changes. In the next presidential election, they only have the choice between an obviously criminal fascist and a halfway normal-thinking politician who does not shy away from supporting crimes against humanity. How one can still speak of a functioning democracy in this situation is beyond me. It’s just a choice between plague and cholera.
You’re not wrong about most of what you said but I am wondering why you seemed to equate those two choices in President. From the way you described them one seems pretty drastically worse than the other to me.
I’m not a fan of Joe Biden at all but I’m also not taking issue with my description of him compared to Trump. OP is the one who described him as a normal politician. The only person shoving shit in your mouth is you.
You have to decide for yourselves. All I am saying is that choosing between two evils does not correspond to my understanding of a democracy in which politics pursues the interests of the people. Of course, you always have to make concessions, but for me both candidates would be unelectable if there were alternatives, namely a third or even a fourth option. But your system doesn’t provide for that. That’s why I think you should consider whether this system makes sense - but you’ll have to answer this question yourselves, I’m afraid.
The system doesn’t make sense. Everyone knows that. But it’s the system we have. So you either have to engage with the system to change the system. As we have historically done. Or find a way to overthrow the system to replace it with something better. something that has only ever been attempted by racists and in more recent times, twice by Republican fascists. Though not many share their limited idea of better.
You want better choices? Don’t just vote every 4 years in the general. Vote every year in every primary and general. Don’t just vote. Campaign for someone. Don’t just campaign for someone. Run yourself.
Eventually all these other countries are going to see that as much as Israel is the problem, the US is it’s pool of resources and we’ll see more shit like 9/11 coming our way from other countries.
Unconditional support for Israel is one of the reasons mentioned by Al-Qaeda behind their attacks in 2001. The US also killed 500,000 children in Iraq in the 1990s, which was also mentioned as a reason.
Nobody wants to enter into a hot war with the US. Without Western support, Israel would be in a pickle right now.

Well, all the more need for change then.
If you’re going to imply that Biden is an "obviously criminal fascist," I’m going to need some receipts.

Your are still trying to shove shit in our mouths and convince us it is a great choice since it comes with a little mustard to cut the taste

Someone has never heard of the French Revolution or the October revolution.
Apparently only right wingers get to work outside of the system. If you’re a good person you work within the system. /s
Peak liberal right here. “The status quo is what we have, no matter how horrible. What are you, some kind of right winger?”
Genocide is genocide.
Harm reduction arguments only work to a point. If genocide is still the outcome, then it isn’t really harm reduction.
