none of those sources are at all relevant to the topic: provide evidence for either of these baseless statements:
“Israel cannot exist in its current state without the aid and protection the US provides it”.
this statement is incorrect, as explained above.
“If the US actually wanted Israel to stop murdering civilians, it could have it done tomorrow.”
this statement is incorrect, as explained above.
I didn’t mention any “sources” @Varyk
I said that I’d be interested to see your evidence. You’ve tacitly conceded that you have none.

if you don’t understand the comments or you’re confused, ask for help.
which part don’t you understand or cannot find sources for?
“Israel cannot exist in its current state without the aid and protection the US provides it”.
israel is a technologically advanced independent country with a functioning government, they have an enormous GDP across various industries, and they receive economic and military support from dozens of other countries.
it benefits Israel to receive billions of dollars every year from the US(as it benefits the US) as a historic mutual defense ally, but Israel is in no way entirely dependent on or explicitly beholden to the US.
“If the US actually wanted Israel to stop murdering civilians, it could have it done tomorrow.”
how? there is no evidence for this.
The US is a third party to this conflict that, more obviously than ever, has limited diplomatic control over the actions of the current Israeli government and its military.
I’d prefer not to write an entire essay and nitpick points, but here’s a decent article I found: https://www.axios.com/2023/11/04/us-israel-aid-military-funding-chart Key points I’m seeing:
- 80%+ of their weapons over the last 70 years come from the US
- we are funding about 15% of their total military budget
- 50 billion in annual trade between US and israel
More importantly, the US is the world hegemon, and is committed to protecting Israel. Do you think Iran would be so restrained against Israel if US retaliation wasn’t guaranteed? The US moved an aircraft carrier into the region following Oct. 7th, do you find that irrelevant too? And to reiterate, the US provides diplomatic cover to Israel by vetoing (a power that Israel does not possess) any attempt by the international community to hold it accountable.
“if you don’t understand the comments”
@Varyk
You demand that I provide evidence for things that I didn’t say. That might seem tactically clever, but is it honest?
I ask for evidence to support things that you did say and you can only repeat your assertions. Is repetition evidence?
