Do people hate Netanyahu because Trump supports him or because of his actions? Kinda like how people hate Putin because they think he’s friends with Trump?

Nah. It’s because he’s killing people to gain territory. Terrorists, kids don’t matter.

For some reason the U.S. is cool with that but not so when Russia is doing it to Ukraine.

I’ll reply with a question:

Did most Americans only “learn” about how Putin operates after his link to Trump was spelled out?

It’s not like Putin’s playbook has ever changed during my lifetime… (for the record I think what Putin has been doing in Syria and the old Soviet isn’t right).

I may be shit posting, but I’m interested in people’s opinions as well. Because especially on reddit, people always say “this because of that”

Also, I like to read replies to shit posts.

Yeah, I’ve never seen people hate Putin cause of Trump. I have seen a couple cases of the other way around, Republicans hating Trump cause of Putin.

Biden instantly sending 8 Billion dollars in weapons really says it all. The US is planning to let Netanyahu bomb everything he wants. When they strike back in kind the US will use it as a pretense send in troops to start a war with Iran.

A smart move by Netanyahu. He knows he needs to get rid of Iran or they will outpace Israel. Now that Israel fully controls America this is the time to start their war with Iran with impunity.

Everything the US does starts to make sense when you realize the US government is fully owned by lobbyists and wealthy donors. The Military Industrial Complex is a trillion dollar for-profit industry with the deepest pockets in the world. The capitalists who profit from it effectively own our country.

Israel does not “fully control” America (literally an antisemitic conspiracy theory).

It is literally the other way around: The US controls Israel and has the power to make them stop their genocide but chooses to send them more waepons to use for more war crimes.

I really don’t like french cheese. Am I racist with the french for that?

I really think that Germany has too much power over EU. Does this make me racist with Germans?

I understand some antisemitic may use war as a way to spread their idepology but the opposite is not true.

One person may disagree with the geopolic of this war without having any issue with the citizens of a country involved

Doesn’t Germany have the largest population of all EU countries? It makes sense that the country with the largest population and largest economy might also have more influence than lower population countries.

No

Germany is the country with the most seats in the EU parliament. The influence of germany is not a conspiracy theory, but a fact, therefore: No

Are Israeli politicians members of congress ? Or the house ? Ok, so maybe the comparison is bullshit.

Yes, correct.

Not sure what that has to do with the fact that America is on the side of genocide of its own free will instead of being secretly controlled by Israel into being on the side of genocide 🤷

They don’t fully control America though. Most of us didn’t even realize the actual situation until this year. The Palestinians just got lumped in under terrorism and that was that. The new media exposure is turning that around. If you look at our response to apartheid in South Africa it’s tracking pretty closely. The halls of power didn’t want to care and the people forced them to care.

Even if contributions guaranteed policy that still speaks to my point of an elite that wants to support an apartheid government and a people waking up and getting mad about it.

The worst part is the behavior of Netanyahu’s Israel is making people sympathetic to facism and Nazism, something unseen since the 1930s.

The behavior of Netanyahu isn’t making people sympathetic to fascism nor German fascism. the behavior of Netanyahu is literally fascist, the people calling out against Netanyahu are literally the opposite of sympathetic to fascism, fascism is way more than “Jew bad”, in fact the whole antisemitism is more coincidental as Jews were a larger minority group, and fascism targeted all minority groups, with Jews being the largest they also had a larger target on their backs in comparisons to other groups that also went off to the camps.

Yup. Although to be fair it was always there lurking. There was always a part of America that dreamed about killing, exiling, and/or enslaving half the country.

One day before the bombing of Nasrallah (with advance knowledge and US cooperation). But after Israel started their recent Lebanon bombing campaign.

The companies making military weapons and gear for Israel can be found here according to AFSC.

The US has committed grants to Israel to buy weapons through 2028. It’s benefiting the above corporations. While not all US based, it still is just another example of our corporate overlords fiucking the world over for profits).

Trump let them off the leash, and they went feral.

Once they knew they could do whatever they wanted they decided it was better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

Then they decided it was better to not even beg forgiveness and just do what they wanted anyway.
