    Israel doesn’t need to participate in every single military adventure to be America’s ally. I mean, this is the country which has received more than 150 billion dollars in American military aid. More than any other country ever. What do you think they get this money for?

    As for how Israel helps American interests in the region

    1. Israel keeps the region divided, geophraphically and politically. This is essential for Americans to be able to extract cheap plentiful oil.
    2. Israel allows America to project military force in the region. Contrary to your claims, Israel does allow American bases.
    3. Israel acts as a counterweight to Russian and Chinese influence in the region.

      Do these bases have names? It seems like everyone wants to argue the fact that I have questions instead of just answering them.

      Israel helped with Stuxnet. I recalled that earlier today. So there’s that and the lockstep UN vote.

      The hostility that comes from questioning Israel is going to push impressionable people to the far right. We’ve already seen this kind of shit with Bannon and Trump, y’all apologists need to come at people who are earnestly asking better, or you’re simply engineering the next Holocaust.

      I’m not threatening, don’t be daft. The fastest way to make more terrorists is to kill their family…fucking DUH.

      I’m anti-genocide, not anti-israel, UNLESS Israel decides that its firmly PRO-genocide. Then the oppressed becomes the oppressors and y’all forgotten every meaningful lesson to be learned and just shut down all higher reasoning beyond might makes right.

      Ffs, what are y’all doing? Do you not see what I’m saying? Have you become blind to zeitgeist? When you’re a hammer, all you see are nails, and frankly boss, ya need to see more. A question is a question not a condemnation. I’ll conclude an opinion at the end of discourse, thank you.

        How so?

        you’re simply engineering the next Holocaust.

        Pure idealism
