yes- its benign of you are not middle eastern/claim decent from Abraham, what do you think happened to Ismael's progeny, or Midian's or Esau's? - people still live there who claim decent from them, just like the Jews say they are B'nai Israel (real name Jacob), there are B'ait/B'nai blah blah all over the Middle East in their indigenous lands Jews dont just hold themselves to the burden of 'higher' standards (eyeroll). They believe that all of the Middle East from present day Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Lower Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan was given to their ancestor and that God told them to kill all of their cousins who lived there. Their religion is old and nasty and barbaric, it is only palatable to us b/c most jews have abandoned most of their teachings which are pretty shitty and gross- all the garbage parts of Christianity and an even more barbaric form of Islam- the post enlightenment, heavily edited europeanized version that we are familiar with is being more and more heavily rejected by more and more of the Israeli population as they spend generations away from the frankly civilizing influence of the modern western world and in their desert domain which they think its their manifest destiny to cleanse and occupy. Talmud fine but anyone who is running around saying the OT is anything but backwards is just another kind of Taliban- in fact Taliban means seeker after knowledge isn't that what those dudes with the weird curls and heavy coats and fur hats say they are? scholars?? we let religious weirdos get away with way too much- the catholic priests, the somalis with the FGM, the orthodox with their weird cult spaces in Mexico, I wonder of they run into FLDS down there. birds of a feather. Amish seems to be pretty nice actually but who knows? I'm sorry but my nice neighbor down the street who bakes amazing babka from scratch isn't the same as the people living in Israel.. even people who are like her are getting pushed out and bullied by the far right religious fanatics and the fear of not having a place of refuge in case of another displacement is what is keeping people like her supportive of Israel but her grandkids won't find it a place of refuge in 50 years, not unless they are cool with wearing wigs and tights in he middle eastern desert. |
yes- people who also agreed that the IDF are genocidal manics and terrorists and Israelis suck- Arendt definitely propagated that world view. She was basically like oh look- the victims of the Nazis have become full on fascists, do you no longer think she is smart now bc she disagreed with you rather vehemently? |
NP - we haven’t sent $300 billion to Palestine. I’m not Jewish and when it comes to the Middle East, I generally think Everyone Sucks Here. Does Israel have the right to exist? Sure, it’s there. But why are we continuing to fund it? What are we getting out of it, besides it supporting our defense industry (though they’ve built up their own)? Netanyahu can’t even pretend to appreciate American aid much less play nice with our leadership. I would rather see that $1 billion go toward housing Americans, providing food assistance or supporting our school. Hell, even paying down the national debt. |
Netanyahu must be feeling very comfortable knowing he has enough influence to throw away the two state solution. It is incredibly watching a little unimportant country like Israel pull the US around by the nose.

THANK YOU. Glad to see the propaganda of Israel is the best buddy of the US working overtime. |
If we were going purely by natural resource, the Muslim countries provide more benefit to us. Petroleum is in everything . Not just cares but medicine and cosmetics and soaps. Israel’s benefit is they help us with security and intelligence supposedly. Except, their intelligence was withheld to us about 9/11 and told to us falsely about Iraq. Turns out the Muslim countries actually provided better intelligence to both us and Israel about 9/11 and 10/7 but we ignored it. A foreign entity can’t provide intelligence on radical Islamic terror like an actual Muslim country can. We also wouldn’t have radical Islamic terror if we didn’t send bombs with made in USA on them to obliterate their nations. China makes IPhones and furniture. We make bombs and weapons, but we gaslight middle America into thinking factory work is no more . Our biggest export is war and weapons of it. Oh, and wait till the masses find out our weapons get sold or trafficked by our Allies (Ukraine, Israel) and sold to our enemies or mafia groups anyway. Half of the weapons dumps from the billion dollar military aid to Ukraine last year has “gone missing”. It’s probably in Putins hands already just like many of our weapons ended up in the Taliban’s hands We are a very stupid country. Trump was right about that. |
It’s obvious the cards will fall and shit will hit the fan if we ever stop defense funding though. It’s obvious our economy’s health isn’t real. It’s mostly due to defense, Inc. in the same way oil is for Saudi Arabia and foreign aid and reparations are for the mostly retiree Israel.
Every first world economy is a facade hanging on a thread . Wall Street will also tumble without the defense spending and “foreign military aid” . The domino effects are too potentially large that we have no choice but to stick with the status quo . Don’t ever expect free college either. Someone needs to fight in US wars and recruitment is already record low with Gen Z so God help us as we know what that means.. |
Those wars were wars fought for Israel. Israel is incapable of defending itself. If the US cuts funding the world will be a safer place. |
They’re still going to school now in the refugee tent camps. The teachers are teaching outside to keep the kids occupied and on a schedule . The kids who come out of this are probably already smarter than the Jewish kids in Israel and definitely the US. Starvation and struggle gives you a certain tenacity . Both Israel and Hamas will find themselves on the same side trying to maintain control as they both will fear these kids. They won’t forget this war. |
People don't think of this but Gazans actually have a huge focus on education as this is one of the only avenues available to them. |
It’s not just Israel. Putin and Ukraine have nothing to do with Israel. It’s the entire funding apparatus that we have . Trump is the enemy of the powers that be because he supports isolation and dared to wonder why the Us is paying more for NATO and war in general than the Euro nations who actually benefit more from it . A very valid question but blasphemous to the Washington establishment and media. Cable news networks (NBC, CNN) in particular are sponsored by Lockheed Martin and other defense companies . President Eisenhower warned about the military industrial media complex and complex in general 60 years ago. Kennedy and bro weren’t with war so they were dealt with, and the next guy was shoehorned in . Where was Bush Sr. In Dallas on the day of Kennedys assasination? Was he telling his boss mission accomplished? |
The Us would rather let every bridge and interstate in the US crumble than stop war, inc. Unfortunately , other countries have also developed military complexes of their own following our lead (China, Iran,) and we can’t afford to have Russia, China, and Iran be the worlds police . We will have to fall like Rome or something in order to stop because we literally can’t. We print too much money and overproduce only one commodity (weapons of war) so when there are no conflicts, we have to create them because somebody needs to use these weapons and some countries have to pay (Saudis) and some do not (Israel). This apparently makes us the strongest country in the world even though most of our weapons end up stolen and sold into enemies hands. |
The US is not the strongest country. We are subservient to Israel. Therefore the US will continue to make the Middle East safe for Israel by bombing and bribing the region. This is the only reason we use military power. |
Jews are indigenous to the land of Israel, were exiled by the Babylonians and Romans before Islam was invented, and allow access for Muslim worship to the Al Aqsa mosque which was built on the ruins of the Jewish temple. Israel is 20% Arab citizens and does not ethnically cleanse. Hamas diverted billions in aid from Gazan civilians to building extremely sophisticated tunnels for itself and its civilian hostages while it planned to start this war. Hamas slogan rhymes in Arabic, from the river to the sea, palestine will be arab, which is a call to ethnically cleanse Jews. Hamas shoots at the Rafah aid crossing and also vows to repeat 10/7 over and over. |
There is nothing in your statement that is true. |
