Christ. If this was any other US-aligned country, they’d roll out the diplomatic corps double-time to soften the blow of such a debacle. But Israel? Israel just gets to do it. And jail our citizens. And sell our secrets. And publicly humiliate us.

We let our own citizens get hacksawed up and did nothing, why would we start caring about Americans now?

Yeah, a huge portion of Israel involving US and Europe on their casus belli was that US and European citizens were killed on October 7th

Hm, an article made up of literally 8 lines. I’m afraid there isn’t enough context yet to hate on either side ,until we know more.

In private he will probably congratulate them on having taken out another one of the brown people for them.

It’ll drop from “iron clad support” to “iron plated support” for Israel.

If a state doesn’t give a crap about its citizens, doesn’t defend its citizens from other states, what’s the point of a state at all?

I can offer the Marxist theory of the purpose of a state under capitalism: Capitalism inherently causes conflict, buyer and seller need each other yet each one would do better materially by ensuring the other does worse. Boss needs to pay workers in order to profit, but also the less he pays them the more he profits. Marx thought under capitalism the government exists to remedy these types of conflicts as well as the general conflict between the ownership class and the worker class.
