What war are we fighting for Israel?

You mean the one that literally lasted one day after the hair on fire "free thinkers" said we'd be in World War 3?

And I said FIGHTING - not FUNDING.

You said it, not me.

30 years after our ‘endless wars’ in the Middle East began, still no end in sight | Brookings

The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990 marked the beginning of America’s “endless wars” in the Middle East. Four presidents since have discovered it’s hard to get home.

Oh give me a ******* break.

What a cop out.

Bushy boy didn't have to lie to the American people about nonexistent WMDs.

He chose to.

There are US Soldiers dying for ISRAEL right now!!

And it's all Trump's fault.

He made a secret pact with Epstein I tells ya!

Tell me I'm different.

Tell me I'm special.

Tell me I'm a non-conformist who can't be pigeon-holed by either side because I'm just so Libertarian and free thinking.

Please, I need the attention.

The biggest issue for the pro Netanyahu people is explaining October 7. As for example there is only a 44 mile stretch between Gaza and Tel Aviv. Again reasonable people would ask how it is at all possible for Hamas to not only enter into Israel, but to stay there for six hours. There is no logical explanation for it. Especially when you have a country like Israel with sophisticated military operational capacity to launch precision strikes 1400 miles away in Iran. Or to carry out highly sophisticated military operations in a place like Lebanon.

How did they cross the most tightly controlled border barrier on the planet with powered paragliders and not get shot out of the sky?

I don't often spend time watching videos, in fact I very rarely do, but it's quite refreshing to hear intellectual people speak on the topics discussed therein. Don't often see that around here. Not very often at all. It's mostly just the talking heads on the cable news entertainment programming being represented and regurgitated here. And it's gotten much worse since the foreigners and Israel firsters set up camp here over the last couple of years.

The first half featuring specific dialogue regarding open, strategic threats of invasion on Russia by the General and Graham made me do a double take. That was the same General who led the Afghanistan mess...and got another star from it. I knew about Graham popping off but hadn't heard the General's statements.

Technically speaking, based on those comments, Russia could launch a strike. These people in charge are morons. Seriously. And, as was mentioned, he would have had to have some kind of approval before making such statements as he made.

In terms of the latter part regarding Israel, yeah..I would tend to agree that Trump is likely being threatened with some kind of blackmail by the Israeli government. It's how they're known to roll. And more than likely why he also protects them from the Epstein information being released in full. There surely must be a reason that he's the only western leader who won't budge on being complicit in what can only be described as slow, strategic genocide of a people.

"slow strategic genocide of 'a people' " how slow? "some kind of blackmail"? "a people" ?

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Yes.

I only went to eat dinner and have some whiskey on a Saturday night with some mates because I was deathly afraid what anonymous internet candle dude would think of me.

You nailed it!

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Full on tin foil hat territory.

It must suck to never ever be happy with the outcome of any election for the rest of your life.

Glad it's not me.

Inside ‘Greater Israel’: myths and truths behind the long-time Zionist fantasy

The expansive territorial ambitions of creating a “Greater Israel” once seemed only to be a right-wing Zionist fantasy. Today, current events in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria show it might be closer than many ever thought possible.

". . . The term came back into political discourse through the rhetoric of religious right-wing extremists from the settlement movement, many of whom were elected into office in the second half of the 2000s. The most notorious of them is Bezalel Smotrich, who now holds the position of Finance Minister, with unprecedented powers over settlement policy in the West Bank. He said in an old interview featured in a documentary by the French-German channel Arte, that he dreamed of a “Greater Israel that would extend from the Nile and the Euphrates”, with the limits of the Jewish Jerusalem extending all the way to the Syrian capital of Damascus. In March 2023, Smotrich sparked controversy by giving a speech to a group of pro-Israel activists in Paris from a podium decorated with the map of Jabotinsky’s “Greater Israel” from the old Irgun emblem, including Palestine and Jordan. . .

Actually, it is sort of liberating not caring much TBH.

At least in Russia, Cuba or N. Korea, the majority of the population understand what their elections mean.


One day, I hope Americans will realize we are now in the same boat. When that day comes? Watch out. We have an entirely different culture than the rest of the world. . . the nation (politically,) lives and dies by elections.

Once folks realize they are meaningless? There is going to be a real reckoning I suppose.



. . . and that can only happen when folks don't care about policy anymore, but care more about integrity in the system.

A fair point.

But it also signals a lack of sincerity.

Oh? How so?

By a suicidal treaty that turned the Sinai over to Egypt's Moslem Brotherhood (leading the jihad since 1928), the Mossad was not allowed to spy in the Sinai.
