The fuck are we doing that for, shame on the U.S. We are literally helping them participate in genocide.
We’ve been doing it for decades. Why stop now?
And helping them have things the USA doesn’t have, like universal healthcare and education!
Bullshit argument. We can have universal healthcare for less than the cost of current for-profit medical care via insurance companies. Reason we don’t have it is rampant, unregulated capitalism and the corporate capture of government.
I wasn’t making an argument, simply making a statement.
Excuse me, this is Lemmy and everything is an argument. Nice goal post shifting btw.
/s
I think Israel has universal healthcare. Think about it
Probably lots of reasons, all of them fucked.
The main reason is probably money. There’s no better way to turn billions of dollars of public funds into billions of dollars of private profits.
It also reassures neoliberals that for all his rhetoric about forgiving loans and improving healthcare access, he’s still willing to kill children if there’s money in it.
It’s also a chance to show off the unstoppable force of American arms against people who are considered completely expendable to America.
To maintain an allied power center in the region. Same reason the US colludes with the saudis.

Ukraine starving for old mortar shells and a few F16’s. Meanwhile the IDF gets a boatload of F35’s with bunker busters for free to blow up hospitals with.
Ukraine did not invade russia after russia attacked Ukraine. Ukraine is simply trying to survive.
Israel on the other hand…
This is bullshit. Any additional support for israel is bullshit.
Meanwhile they’re restricting food and medical supplies for the people they’re genociding 🙄
And killing journalists who might report on the other atrocities.
So excessive. I’m ashamed that my tax dollars have contributed to genocide.
Contact your representatives and let them know, at least.
I lost the ability to comment on insta bc I commented in my representatives page. He is not only an elected representative, he is pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atl. This is the pulpit MLK led hia movement from. So yes, I am extra mad that he has not even made a statement. I have already done the emails, they don’t care. So I figured a public comment on his insta post would stir something up, it did. Meta told me I’d be stfu for a while.
So once I was able to comment again I stated that meta can fuck right off and I’ll be signing up for telegram. At least journalists can post freely there.
I think naming and shaming would help.
Why, but just why?
Political support for Israel among the older generations, the people who vote.
The same zionists are on the ballot for both young and old people. Israel support is bipartisan; voting won’t stop AIPAC and the Zionist lobby from buying whoever you vote for.
Thanks. But I mean, doing so does not really help in calming the tensions between the two involved in the war. I may be wrong, though.
US Military Industrial Complex giveth (Ukraine), US Military Industrial Complex taketh (Israel)

Those refugee children aren’t going to shoot themselves.
Fuck Israel. Damn the U.S. for just giving up a full Chaunakah wish list.
Leave religion & heritage out of it. This is standard issue geopolitics.
Meanwhile, an orphan kid in Gaza wants to show Hamas his pet rock.

People commenting here are assuming they know all the deals and treaties that USA has with any other country.
Anadolu Agency is Turkish state propaganda.
OK, here’s The Times of Israel:
244 US cargo planes, 20 ships deliver over 10,000 tons of military equipment to Israel — report
I
likeam amused that the number of ships is higher.
