    One is a democracy and strategic ally, the other one is just trying to be destructive and split apart any western alliances…

      Who the fuck cares? Once you commit genocide, you are the bad guy. It can be fucking Santa for all I care, if he starts bombing a country to hell, that sleigh is coming down.

        God, I wish there was the political will to put a no-fly zone over Gaza. Unfortunately, we still have work to do combating AIPAC’s past decades of propaganda.

            No, the US. Or NATO more generally, if we could get them in on such a thing. As we did with Libya.

            That’s a pipe dream as diplomatic relations go right now, though. And it’s unlikely to ever become realistic - I suspect if over the next few decades things soured between the US and Israel, isolation would be more likely than action.

      Ethnostates are not democracies. Also, Israel is doing everything it can to drag the US into a war in the middle east because of the whole genocide and antagonizing Iran and Lebanon thing. So yeah, not a very good democracy or strategic ally.

          No, it’s very true. Israel is a terrible fucking ally. Most of our allies don’t fucking dome our citizens, sell our secrets, embroil us in their controversies, and then piss all over us whenever we ask anything of them.
