How is Israel making America its “vassal”? That’s hyperbole and is far from reality. The amount of money spent on Israel aid is very low in the grand scheme of things - $300 billion cumulatively, inflation adjusted, since 1947. Currently $3.8 billion a year, which is about 0.05% of federal spending this year.

And America, as well as the rest of the free world, have plenty of reason to contain Islamic fundamentalism and terrorist groups, independent of Israel.

Sure, the Iran conflict is inconvenient economically. But let’s not be under any illusion as to what the Iran regime was and still is - an authoritarian theocracy that backs numerous proxy terrorist groups across Asia. Not just Hamas but many others:

And let’s not be under any illusion as to what the Isaeli regime was and still is - an authoritarian theocracy that has slaughtered more women and children in the last year than all of the terrorist groups in the world combined.

Israel is a democracy and not a theocracy and not authoritarian either. You’re simply making up things randomly. It is literally a parliamentary democracy with secular law. And remember, Israel has a 20% Arab population (almost fully Muslims) that thrives in Israel.

It’s a war of self defense against a terroristic government and groups that are using civilians as human shields. The collateral damage is clearly the fault of the terrorists. But also let’s not forget, Gazans voted for Hamas, still supported Hamas after October 7 per polls, and therefore share in the responsibility for Hamas’s actions.

You are a disgrace calling this genocide "self-defense". Seriously. Denying civilians access to fresh water, ambushing ambulances and now blaming the victims? This is utterly disgusting.

Just watching how emergency workers in Lebanon get double tapped (among hundreds of hundreds of other awful things), how Hospital are getting bombed killing doctors and medical personnel to Red Cross and WHO total indignation is enough to tell you that Israel is a war crime machine.

Also realize that a lot of these people that are being slaughtered are Christians.

You’re saying that while in that same year:

Iran killed 40k citizens

Sudan has 10 millions displaced citizens, 500k children dies of malnutrition in the last 1.5 years.

Myanmar has tens of thousands of dead from civil war.

Ofcourse you don’t care about any of those, because you only count how many got killed by the Jews right?
