    Unfortunately, it’s a bit of the other way around. Israel only exists at the pleasure of the United States. I’ve read somewhere that we’re funding up to 70% of their economy right now.

    The sad fact of the matter is, the United States doesn’t care about the Palestinian cause or plight other than the bad press it’s giving them.

    Don’t be fooled, the United States has always been in control of a situation, and it’s simply choosing not to do anything.

      That’s wild if true. Did you know that Israel offers universal healthcare to its citizens? Apparently, 70% on our dime.

      Meanwhile, US brutalizes its own citizens with “healthcare” that’s unaffordable even with the insurance we get as part of the indentured slavery contract. Backwards priorities through and through, but what could you possibly expect from state sponsors of terror?

        That’s just imperialism, dude. Unfortunately, what you’re describing is the final stage of capitalism. Imperialism, where all that’s left is for capital to drain everything for the gods of profit.

      The democrats took their chances of winning the election and wiped their ass with it instead of coming out and saying genocide is wrong.

      Israel heavily funds both parties and most likely has extensive blackmail material on both, especially Trump.

      That 70% is a tithe, not an allowance.
