Lebanon / Israel

[Anonymous]

America is slowly waking up to how racist, fascist, and oppressive Israel is. I give the relationship another decade at the most, as we slowly flush the Boomer and Gen X politicians from our political system, and then we’re going to leave the despicable Zionists to fend for themselves.

There are far, far more Christian supporters of Israel than Jewish ones, both in Congress and out of Congress. If only Jews backed the establishment and longtime support of the state of Israel, it never would have come to exist in the first place. Jews couldn't even get the U.S. to bomb the train lines running to Nazi death camps during World War II. You think that suddenly a few years later we were able to magically force the whole world to recognize a new country?

I agree it is the evangelistic republicans support in the southern states that is the engine that drive the US Israel policies. Most Jews (American or Israelis) have nothing in common with them. Now who has influence over steering the engine is a very different question. Evangelistic Christians are exceptionally uninformed about Israel, Jews and the Middle East.

As for the bombing of death camps and trains in WW2. Allied strategic bombing was not the precision bombing we have today. By the fall of 1944, only seven percent of all bombs dropped by the Eighth Air Force hit within 1,000 feet of their aim point. This is why the US adopted fire bombing. So no matter what people say the US could not have stopped the trains or death camps without killing everyone involved.

I think if the Allies had blown up the trains or the death camps early in the war, it would have been a net positive even if they killed everyone who was currently in the camps — which would have taken significant time to rebuild and restart.

I can see the sympathy with the death of the people used as human shields in Gaza. But sympathy with what is happening in Lebanon right now? With trying to prevent a nuclear Iran and its proxies that have clearly announced their intent to destroy Israel and Jews?

Only Israel, the Jewish state, is expected to endure constant bombing and is attacked for defending itself. You’re all so antisemitic that it makes me sick. And the fact that these sick comments are tolerated on this site is so disappointing.

Only Israel was given the right to obtain Nuclear weapons by the US... Only Israel was allowed to drop bombs on children and invade neighboring countries. Only Israel seems to have a lobby than every member of the US Congress is beholden to.

We need more antisemitism to combat these trends...

The U.S. didn't "give Israel the right" to obtain nuclear weapons, they actually bought that capacity from France.

The US continues to provide aid to Israel in violation of our own laws...

Honestly, at this point, Hamas should just finish the job on their hostage - or, better yet - let Israel do it for them. Place all hostage in a school with a red cross sticker at the top, then some mannequins dressed as 1 UNRWA worker, a Central Kitchen food worker, a journalist and maybe a US college student or two with a protest sign. The IDF will just be frothing at the bit and will kill their own citizens and then maybe the people will rise up.

That’s the point of zeroing in on the problem - radical, extremist Zionists. People take pains to differentiate between Jewish people (like any group, some of whom are despicable and some of whom are not) and radical, extremist Zionists (whom are all despicable, and are comprised of evangelical weirdos, garden variety racists who are scared of their own shadows, and SOME Jewish people here in the U.S. and around the world).

Individuals merely identifying as Jewish are not the problem, just like individuals merely identifying as Muslim are not the problem. It is the extremists that are the problem and they exist on both sides, but wield far influence - and thus cause far more suffering - on the radical, extremist Zionist side of the equation.

How is the fact that Israel just killed a mayor in one of Lebanon's larger cities not something that the Biden administration has clearly denounced?

----------------

"Lebanon’s Health Ministry said six people were killed and 43 were wounded when airstrikes hit several buildings, including a municipal building, in Nabatiyeh, one of Lebanon’s most populous cities. Howaida al-Turk, governor of Nabatiyeh province, told The Washington Post that Nabatiyeh Mayor Ahmad Kahil was among those killed — the first elected official of a major city killed in this war. Other council members died in the strikes as well, the governor said."

Biden was encouraging the Israelis to invade Lebanon. You think killing a mayor, American citizens or UN peacekeepers is going to back Biden off? No. The Israelis will say it was the PLO, Hamas, Hezbollah, German Nazi, Ukrainians Nazis, leftist, bad Jews, etc. and Biden will dance.
