stewie3128,

Would be great if he said that about funding the American government.

supersane,

At this point, I can confidently say that Israel controls America.

TotallynotJessica,

Nah fam. Miss me with that nonsense. Why would a tiny nation control the US? They have influence with American interests in many ways, but control it? It makes no sense. The only position that this would make sense from is the same antisemetic cabal bullshit. A small group controls the world alright. The wealthy, most of whom are white Christians. They control things, not Jews.

Other way around, they’re basically a US satellite state if anything. Biden said it himself, “if there wasn’t an Israel we would have to invent one.”

Here’s a graph showing the countries that voted most closely in line with the US in the UN across the past couple decades:

The three dots behind Israel are former US Pacific Island territories that are currently US puppet states and officially give away much of their sovereignty to America under COFA. If you exclude those three, Israel aligns itself with America miles ahead of any other country.

HornyOnMain,

Claiming that Israel controls America is kinda anti semitic (not because it’s anti Israeli or anything ofc) because it’s basically a repackaging of the whole “Jews control the government” thing.

What’s actually happening is that Israel is a US puppet state thats been given free reign and a blank check to do as much fascism as it wants as long as it keeps protecting the US’s interests in the middle east. The US is still in control, it’s just choosing that rather than exerting that control to do anything to stop Israel it’s going to give it the go ahead to do whatever the fuck it wants instead.

Karyoplasma,

Not quite true. Israel gets a lot of support from the US government because it’s a useful ally.

It’s the vanguard in the coveted Middle Eastern region (lots of oil) that is incidentally hated by everyone around them so you can easily use their status to provoke proxy wars, then invade and claim plausible deniability by saying you just helped out your ally.

I_am_10_squirrels,

Plus the delicious state surveillance tools

FriendBesto,

Ain’t that illegal?

Genocide is illegal (I think, it’s kinda blurry for decades now). Don’t see those people concerned about it. I don’t think these people care about law. They bend it to their will, like they do with their tax-paying citizenry who vote and pay for them.

Hestia,

Honestly feeling like Trump is the lesser evil now… Genocide Joe has always been quite zealous in his support of Isntreal.

kandoh,

Yeah maybe the guy who instituted a Muslim ban would be more supportive of the Palestinian people, good thought.

queermunist,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Okay, but imagine if Democratic Party was united against Trump in support of Palestinian people.

Without him in power to sharpen the contradictions, liberals fall into the trap of bipartisan consensus.

kandoh,

Consider Bernie and Fetterman’s statements. Mixed with the fact that only 17% of DNC staff signed the later asking Biden to pressure Israel to give a ounce of shit about people in Gaza.

If this was a Trump administration, we’d be ignoring what isreal is doing because we’d be fighting tooth and nail trying to protect Palestinians in America from being deported or placed into camps.

@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Bernie won’t even fucking endorse a ceasefire.

GarbageShoot,

I think that’s grass-is-greener thinking and the lesson is that both the good cop and the bad cop work for the same police department.

HornyOnMain,

Nah that’s dumb, Trump wouldn’t try to stop this happening, at all. And even if he tried to do something out of pure contrarianism, this isn’t something that his handlers would let him fuck up

Bloobish,

Oh cool modern day Iran-Contra is gonna happen but with more genocide yes-honey-left

@AOCapitulator@hexbear.net avatar

He really does think this is his holy mission to bring about the yadda yadda biblical prophecy huh?

GreenTeaRedFlag,

Which is super weird because he’s catholic and we don’t really, uh, follow the book of revelations. That weird ass prophecy is a Baptist thing

CanadaPlus,

I get why - congress is increasingly useless - but there’s obvious accountability problems there.

GarbageShoot,

Accountability problems with funneling infinite weapons to an Apartheid settler state? No way, the US has a high degree of integrity about such things

Thief_of_Crows,

Yeah, name 50 times we’ve ever done that specific crime!

@Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net avatar

Genocide Joe knows how evil it is, and wants to continue arming the zionist entity. Monstrous bastard.

Redrum714,

Fighting terrorists isn’t cheap

TheLastHero,

Spineless, pathetic cowardice. I mean we already knew that about Democrats but this just indicts the entire administration as such. Israel makes no apologies for their slaughter, they just don’t give a shit, but this means that Genocide Joe and Co. KNOW this is wrong and they’ll still bend over backwards just to kill a foreigner.

Zero attempts at “harm reduction” pfff, they’re actively taking steps to make the harm (literal bombing of children) worse. I live in a swing state, so when I throw my vote away I’ll get to feel proud knowing it was worth even more. Glory to the martyrs and may “Israel” and her American dog be annihilated.

I don’t like this trend! War movies in 10-20 years will be boring. No Rambos, no Schwarzeneggers, no Spielberg and Tom Hanks emotional patriotism! No funny casual racism, no casual homophobia, no casual misoginy… Did Mark Hamil play a terrorist in Star Trek after all? The End of an Era. We’re gonna have to watch films about how a bribed White House politicant struggles to keep up with weapon manufacture demands while managing to convince his wife not to divorce him because she feels neglected since he’s never at home… directed by Clint Eastwood.

That’s boring. I’m out!

Madison420,

Star Wars.

AngryCommieKender,

That was Reagan. It never worked, but we did get some useful stuff out of the project.

Madison420,

No, Mark hamil was on Star wars not star trek, they never let him guest appear to prevent confusion and to not make a running joke that wouldn’t ever die.

AngryCommieKender,

I understood what you were saying. I was making a joke

Here is the evidence for all the people that think Democrats are angels and Republicans are devils. Both parties are two wings of US Nazi Eagle, and both have caused wars for 232 out of the 247 years USA has existed.

Filthmontane,

Well that’s not suspicious at all.

@watson387@sopuli.xyz avatar

Fuck Israel. We shouldn’t be supporting them at all.

Omega_Haxors,

They would fold under even the littlest bit of BDS, but that’s not going to happen because the US sees themselves in Israel.

Bartsbigbugbag,

Thus why nearly every state has made it illegal for any company that works with the government to be BDS-positive.

TryingToEscapeTarkov,

Which shows you America Is ran by foreign interests.

TheAnonymouseJoker,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

Isntreal is not controlling USA, its the opposite. USA sees a microcosm of their own in Isntreal, sharing the exact same kind of genocide and settler colonisation, be it Native Americans or indigenous Palestinians.

gnuhaut,

Biden said something like: “If there was no Israel, we’d have to invent it.”

The US loves having a highly militarized, violent, totally amoral and 100% US-dependent proxy next to all those oil fields. The last thing the US wants is peace in the middle east. This is just divide-and-conquer 101.

OurToothbrush,

Other way around. Israel is a us proxy state

Good man, given the state of the House.

Thanks for illustrating that libs don’t give a shit about democracy.

kayjay,

The point of Congress is to be able to challenge the singular power of the head of state if they get too power-hungry… it doesn’t work if you can just disregard it whenever you feel it’s inconvinient. Do you want a (for now) democratically elected dictatorship where there is no challenge to the power of the president?

ParanoidFactoid, (edited )
@ParanoidFactoid@beehaw.org avatar

Congress is broken right now.

The House just removed a speaker with seniority and elected a two term religious zealot in his place. One who refuses to support the main foreign policy of leaders in both parties.The Senate has a member who has kept all military nominations on hold because the opposing party nominated them. And that party in both legislative chambers refuses to fund government.

Biden has no choice here.

yogthos,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

I love how the part you’re upset about is that the house won’t provide funding for murdering people. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
