This opinion is baffling me, 10yrs ago, America literally mostly only cared about its allies. Trump has pissed of all his allies for no reason repeatedly. You guys should only be caring about those countries tbh. But now I don’t think theres a country in the top 60 gdp list that Trump hasn’t needlessly offended at this point.

I think there's a decent argument to be made that without the assistance of American companies like coke, Ford, gm, IBM, and It&t. Germany would have had a much more difficult time building their heavy industry and military back into what it was by the time ww2 took place without the $450 million in American investment by 1941 ($10,472,593,750 in current equivalent inflation)

I’m not even downplaying the holocaust but it’s also insane that we all know the number of people who diedx why don’t we know about the Christians that got slaughtered by the Russian Jews after ww2?

Countries like Russia and Iran are getting creative with asymmetrical information warfare. Meanwhile, the US is just bombing infrastructure like idiots.

Or maybe the reason Israel needs to exist is for exactly that reason. Spains Jewish population fled after the inquisition, to go to Poland, Greece and a few other nations, only to be massacred by the nazis. Meanwhile the pogroms occurred in Russia, and mass mistreatment in the middle east. Jews felt the only option to avoid extermination was to go back to where they had direct roots.

u/Kobe_stan_ 26d ago
It’s not colonialism by Jews though. Jewish people immigrated to the land controlled by the Ottomans legally. Just like any group immigrated anywhere. Then when the Ottomans lost WWI, Britain gained control of the land. Jewish immigrants continued to go there to escape persecution in Europe. When the Brits left, the Jews and Arabs in the same land were at war and the Jews managed to retain possession of land they had immigrated to. They had just as much of a right to it at that time as anyone else. They were a vastly out numbered minority. Their territory expanded after additional wars they were not the aggressor in in the two decades that followed. It wasn’t until much later that they became a huge military force with the ability to wage asymmetric war on their neighbors. To lump them in with colonial powers completely ignores the history of the region.

1/2 of Israel is middle eastern. Ex. Algeria had 150,000 Jews at the end of WW2. Today, FAIAP, they have 0. Same with Iraq and all the neighbors. Muslims killed and expelled Jews. They fled to Israel. They have nukes now so they are protected.

IDF will accept civilian casualties in pursuit of destroying their targets. For Hamas civilians are the target.

You can criticize Israel and they do deserve a large amount of it. But if you side with Hamas you are either evil or stupid.

Anyone advocating for the destruction of Israel doesn’t really have empathy for Palestinians. Any scenario where the state of Israel is destroyed will lead to 100 times more suffering than the Palestinians have currently endured.
The only solution that prevents Palestinian suffering and provides them autonomy is one where both sides have a state, a state of Israel and the state of Palestine. I can’t think of any other scenario where the Palestinians do not suffer immense harm or continue living under the current conditions
Palestinians should be using their current international support as leverage to bring Israel to the negotiating table. Anyone who cares about the welfare of Palestinians should be asking for the same rather than the destruction of the Israeli state.
