What are these air bases in Israel and 100000 troops? I call BS. Syria was attacked via Qatar, Djibouti, and maybe Turkey. |

The US hasn't been standing with Israel, which leads Israel to look elsewhere, including Russia which has been very hostile to Jews. Biden Admin recently cajoled Israel into giving up oil rights to Lebanon/Hezbollah. Outgoing Obama admin had a UN vote against Israel, which fed into the investigation of Michael Flynn for the Logan Act. Biden has been pursuing a new Iran Deal, though they appear to have dropped it recently. |
| As if Israel has ever been anything other than an ethnocentric settler colonialist western enterprise. I love all these progressives acting like Netanyahu is the problem. |
Since we're not "standing with Israel" does this mean tax payers can stop paying their security bill? Can we allow Israel to make the investments in its relationships with other countries in the ME rather than having to help underwrite the Abraham Accords? Can we stop vetoing votes at the UN? What's wrong with pursuing a deal with Iran? It's in our best interest? Why should be be dragged along with other country's conflicts (especially when those countries do very little for us)? |
100k US servicemen? Complete fiction. There are less than 125 US troops stationed in Israel. Yes, 125. Not 125k. Israel did not have troops on the ground in Iraq or Afghanistan. The most they did is provide some intel and help support some training, along with conducting a handful of their own independent bombing missions. |

| It’s pretty simple. Hardline policies espouses by this new government, especially regarding gay rights, haredim not working or needing to join the military and women not being able to praying at the wailing wall and all that stuff, will simply further erode support stateside. Coupled with new rules clarifying who can’t be consider Jewish and general racism toward Ethiopian Jews in Israel…I mean it’s nuts. Bibi wanted to stay in power so badly he courted the batsht crazy loons who want to take things back to the 1800’s. This is is like if Jerry Falwell and a bunch of mega church pastors became the leaders of America. |
Lol but Israel is the best ally the US has! Who cares is they do not actually do things that an ally would do. If fact they do the opposite. |
Agree. In addition to what they do, it’s what they are. Israel’s values are not American values. They are a theocracy with ethnic nationalism at the core. If you are not the right religion or ethnicity (depending on how they define Judaism for their political purposes), then you cannot own land, you cannot go to the same schools, and you possibly can’t even vote (talking about the non-“pure” people who live under martial law—West Bank Jews enjoy full right, others get. I rights whatsoever). Make all the excuses you want, I call it in-American. |
I’d go one further. I’ll call in anti-Jewish values. |
This is why everyone should just laugh loudly whenever Israel is called a democracy. It isn't. |
What do you mean? Who can't own land, attend schools, vote? |
A Palestinian Christian living in the west bank or east Jerusalem does not have the same property rights as a Jewish Israeli citizen, but that's been the case since Israel's founding. |
A Muslim or Christian living in Tel Aviv cannot buy property and cannot obtain permits to renovate property they already own. Muslims and Christians are not allowed to attend Jewish schools, separate but equal style. That's all inside Israel proper, according to their civil code. Outside of Israel proper in occcupied territory (West Bank), civil law doesn't apply at all. Muslims and Christians are subject to martial law and have no rights at all. But please continue deluding yourself that Israel is a democracy. |
So some of the people in the new government are working to “reform” the courts. This will end any readdress for non Jews in Israel. |
