It’s incredible how supporting Israel was about “securing an ally in the region to avoid another major armed conflict in the middle east”, and has now turned into Israel dragging the US into another major conflict in the middle east. It’s either US foreign policy officials didn’t learn anything from the past dozen conflicts or they literally want this to happen every time.
US officials know Israel is full of shit, but if they stand up for what’s right, they’ll piss off the AIPAC, and will almost certainly be ousted the following election cycle. The AIPAC is easily one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the US, and have no problem slushing a candidate with cash to oppose one who even thinks of criticizing Israel.
At this point, Joe Biden must really want aiding genocide and war crimes to be his legacy
Pretty much every modern president tbh.
Israel thinks they can just do anything they want. Eventually they are going to run into big trouble. We need to lower their supply of weapons before we get dragged into a nightmare.
