America and Israel are basically one and the same, and that’s because the U.S. government wants it that way.

⁠ @maka6134 ”this conflict is as old as Roman times” No it isn’t, but that’s a nice weasely little lie you attempted there, you can’t dispute any facts in the video about the establishment of Israel as a settler colony, so you just say “uhh it’s about religion and both sides bro trust me!”

@shahriar4706_ Because American foreign policy is based off more than just lobbying, Israel is functionally an American colonial military base to project power in the Middle East.

There is no Palestine in Ba Sing Se

@XanVicious Same reason the U.S. cared about Vietnam, Korea, South America, etc. The US is an imperialist country.

@Veltrosstho Also, the goal of American oil companies isn’t to provide the U.S. with oil, it’s to maximize profit. They make more money selling the oil and exporting it around the world than providing it cheaply to Americans. Thats why most countries outside of America nationalize their energy companies.

@charlesdemers1197 Actually it can’t, because for most countries in the world their military is mostly symbolic and doesn’t really do anything. It’s only a small minority that regularly uses their military offensively to terrorize people (Israel, US, Russia, and a few others). Most militaries/governments are more as bad as those.

Meanwhile Israel is literally Lebensraum

⁠⁠ @zaxrander This is such a stupid argument, no one cares what happened 1000 years ago, settlers are moving from America and Europe into stolen Palestinian homes right now in 2023. These are first generation settlers who established an ethno state. Many Palestinians still have the keys to their homes that were stolen from them. The colonial genocide of Palestinians is happening right now. Should it be stopped or no?

“Free America” of course you have to somehow make Americans the victim when they are the ones choosing to fund and support the settler colonial military base of Israel.

@XanVicious Same as any other empire…Because US companies make more money and control more resources and have more power when they can control the Middle East by having giant military bases there. It’s about power and control/resources. Same reason the US created South Korea and south Vietnam. Same reason they installed dictators all over South America.

@JackyLynn-g7o LMAO you think a tiny settler colony of 10 million people that’s completely reliant on the U.S. for its entire existence, can control the U.S.? That’s as ridiculous as saying Canada can control the U.S. or something. It’s just not possible. The US 100% has all the leverage over Israel and could end their war with a single phone call if they wanted to, they just don’t want to.

@ChicagoMike85 Israel is nothing more than an excuse to use as a giant U.S. military base in the Middle East.

@ Who's "we"? The people that benefit are american corporations/military industrial complex. Israel acts as a US military base in the middle east, it acts as a testing ground for horrific new weapons and crowd control tactics that they test on Gazans, it acts as proxy forces to weaken Iran, Hezbollah, Houthis, and any other forces that stand in the way of US domination of the region. Israel is basically a US colony.

Israel/Israelis I agree, but I would not say that’s a criticism of “Jews abroad” you have to separate the state from the ethnicity/religion.

Stop pretending like the U.S. is being controlled by a tiny settler colony of 10 million people. Israel is nothing more than a U.S. military base, the U.S chose to create Israel, no one manipulated them into it, the U.S. is responsible.
