    Is the mantra of Israel “All publicity is good publicity”? They make headlines every day with war crimes destroying their own reputation rather than Hamas.

      How’s any of it bad though? They’re getting cheered on by a significant number of people for the genocide.

        Because the Middle East has oil, and the US insists on controlling it, despite being on the other side of the world. Israel is effectively a US colony that can be used as a reliable forward base for the US to fuck up the entire Middle East.

        I’d be cool with just pulling all support from them.

        Let them fight their own battles instead of bringing the rest of the world down with them. 9/11 literally happened because the US supports Israel, but we still haven’t learned our lesson.

          IIRC Osama bin Laden had three reasons for 9/11. One was non-Muslim soldiers in Saudi Arabia (he was salty because Kuwait asked the US for aid against Iraq and not the Taliban). The other was Israel. I don’t recall the third off the top of my head.

        Israel has nukes. And given their zeal with murdering civilians, it wouldn’t be off the table for them to threaten them if anyone invaded.
