I was just listening to local radio this morning and heard a quote from Austin about the "interoperability of US forces and Israeli forces" regarding the invasion in Lebanon. What does that even mean?

All those news reports from the past few days about how the US is mad at Israel, Israel isn't listening to the US, etc are just junk. It seems pretty obvious that the US is on board with Israeli military action in Lebanon.

Good. The IDF is doing Lebanon a favor by ridding it of those terrorist losers, Hezbollah.

And this is the heartless attitude that creates lifelong enemies.

Real humans are dying. It’s not to be celebrated if the deaths are Israelis so why would you celebrate when the deaths are from Lebanon?

The Israeli and Israeli American perspective is that Israel is assuming all the risk and genuinely doing the world a favor. They also think it is sad but that it sadly has to be done to save the world. This is what they tell themselves and read on ynet.

A lot of Israeli Americans are reading quite the opposite on Haaretz and 972, and this attitude is the reason they live in America now instead of in Israel.

If you talk to Israelis or people with an Israeli connection in America, they were in absolute disbelief in the beginning that Israel shut off water to Gaza, blew up hospitals and sources of food production, stopped medical and food aid, that snipers are targeting children. They put Israel on a pedestal. they didn’t know Palestinians or the swaths of people in dc who have worked in Gaza or the west bank over the past several decades. They had no clue about the evil happening across the wall and in Israel towards Arabs. Blissful, willful ignorance. And yet, they were on the front lines of rights for refugees and asylum workers, lgbtq, any marginalized group really. I don’t see anyone trying to dismantle the Israeli propaganda machine now that they may know better because doing so would threaten Israel. And they will tell you, however sad they are for the orphaned, limbless kiddies in Gaza, that to criticize Israel is antisemitic.

This has not been anything like my experience talking to Israelis or people with an Israeli connection during this war, many of whom are angry and despondent over what the Israeli government has been doing.

I wrote ‘in the beginning’. I think anyone who is not despondent at this point wouldn’t be saying so out loud, to a non Jewish person, at least.

Plenty of non-Jews support Israel, even now.

If you’re trying to make a parallel to Ukraine and Russia, was the invasion of Ukraine preceded by missiles being fired for over a year from Ukrainian territory into Russia?
