The US intelligence community produced at least two assessments based in part on intelligence provided by Israel warning the Biden administration of an increased risk for Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the weeks ahead of Saturday’s seismic attack on southern Israel, according to sources familiar with the intelligence.
I agree with you. I do.
But where the hell does that logic go when it’s not American political allies in the firing line?
When Saddam allegedly had WMDs and Al-Qaida did 9/11, why were all Muslims everywhere suddenly terrorists?
When COVID was allegedly sourced from a lab in China, why were all Chinese people being targeted, attacked and killed on US streets?
Now that we’re talking about Israel, everyone’s suddenly so protective of exactly who the fingers should be pointed at. Saddam never did have WMDs. The upper echelons of Saudi Arabia were behind 911. There’s no proof that COVID came from a lab in China, but those generalisations are often justified, because “look at how many they’ve killed!”.
I agree with you, that it really is Netenyahu’s regime that wants this. There are many, many Israeli’s all over the world who are condemning Israel’s actions in this war, in much the same way that Muslims have spoken out against terrorism for years, and Chinese people called for the hate crimes to cease.
They weren’t. The people who said they were, were being shitty people.
This was actually really rare, and while it was terrible where it happened, it’s a mistake to pretend that it was at all common, typical, or accepted.
As an analogy that may be even more contentious: Rape happens. It’s bad. When it does, it’s usually a man raping a woman. But it’s a mistake to say that all men rape all women; and anyone saying that men are all rapists is expressing their own trauma, not the truth.
People are real. Nations and other interest groups are kinda fake.
Because of ignorant hateful people who exist in every part of the world. Remember, there were a lot of Americans against the war. Same fucking racism exists everywhere. How many countries are run by the native population? The problem is the inbred old wealth. The few groups of people across the world convincing people who are not wealthy that the poor are the problem.
Information is a lot easier to come by nowadays. When Saddam allegedly had WMDs and Al-Qaida did 9/11, most people were still getting newspapers and watching the evening news on TV. If you wanted to hear viewpoints outside of the MSM you had to really dig for them.
