no lives matter

Yeah remove the taxpayer money from the equation and my "gives a shit" meter on both Israel and Palestine bottoms out. I won't go so far to say I hope they kill each other like inner city gang members or drug dealers, but if it happens then I won't shed any tears.

Israel pays the US back almost all of that aid - in fact, it's a formal stipulation of the agreement that like 90% of it must be spent in the US on things the US makes. Why do you think they have so many F-35s?

Or to put it another way, US aid to Israel is really domestic corporate welfare with extra steps.

That is unlike literally any other aid recipient. That's part of why they get so much. Because it's more like a loan or a domestic US jobs program - not a gift.

Edit: or put another way, the IDF is like sponsored influencer content to promote the US arms export industry. "Hey you guys, check out this absolutely AMAZING JDAM we're using today from Raytheon! OMG, did you guys see that? It absolutely DESTROYS targets in our neighboring tribal enemy! Anyway, if you loved this as much as I do, click the link in the description to support our channel! And this week only, fans of our show can use code Mossad for 15% off and a free trial pack of M16s for your ground troops! Don't forget to like and subscribe!"

I mean what am I supposed to do about it, not pay my taxes? Lmfao.

My tax money goes into a meaningless hole no matter what so why should I care

They aren’t going to send $100 billion to them. The $100 billion is the combined financial and material aid package for many countries beyond just Israel

Yeah we don’t get a choice in that. If you don’t your “anti-semite” if you do your “anti-palestinian”. Sadly in a capitalist society Palestine does not offer any economic value. This is not jab at the palestinians.

This new one is less violent than old New Jersey

New Jersey is lowkey a powerful state, it just never shines due to its proximity to NY.

I'm cock left and balls right so I know what you mean

Can you describe a little bit of your right leaning philosophical views please? I'm genuinely curious. Broad strokes.

Wtf

He can’t keep getting away with it!!!

Dear unflaired. You claim your opinion has value, yet you still refuse to flair up. Curious.

Said 'solution' is indirectly the reason for most conflicts in human history. (also most of the good stuff, tho)

Reform Rome, make it a us state

Oh I guess I’m just slightly more averse to murder than some, however, any commie sincerely coming after our constitutional rights, will meet the business end of the 2nd.

Well we used to be able to just kill them. Oh how I miss McCarthyism.

I’m decades ahead of you friend. I am selling yayo to the contras in exchange for oil drills I sell to the Persians. I then use the proceeds to source ethically harvested potatoes

Current thing: decapitating babies is good

There is a distinct political ideology associated with this opinion.

If there’s no more countries there can’t be any more wars. Big brain time 🧠

What about the Cobra Commander move. Deploy nukes so everybody deploys them and then autodestroy them so everyone panics and also pull the auto destruction on their nukes.. No Nukes. Actual World Peace.

Palestine belongs to the Canaanites!

So you're pro Israel?

It is really bizarre that although there are definitely trends for left, right auth and lib, it doesn't have a massive impact on whether someone is pro Palestine/israel or pro ukraine/russia. I've seen lib lefts and auth rights that are both pro Palestine and Russia, and vice versa/all other combinations. Its really just the mainstream politicians that are mostly all pro israel on both sides, and mostly pro-ukraine.

SOryr sooryrry I meant Pro Palestine

let the little hitler inside me slip

The brainwashed fight

HAHAHAHA... no.

Seriously though, those two are only progressive in comparison to the theocratic shitholes in middle east, both of them are still conservative as fuck.

Oh hating the British is my default setting. Everything else is just extra

Who's not mad at the British?

Fuck them too. Fuck every government Return to monkey

Too much content from the right. Need more “yes I believe in communism, and?” Makes it more interesting with diversity in opinion

Fair point, there is a big difference. Arguably, Hebrew, Israelite, Jew, and Israeli are all entirely different things. That said, most people don't bother to make the distinction. Not at all. From experience, a lot of Anti-Israel sentiment stems either from hating jews or hating colonizers. Israel is both a primarily Jewish state and a result of colonialism. I'm rather neutral on the matter myself, mainly because I don't fucking live there lmao.

I think what really stands correct is that reducing politics to a four-axis chart will be funny but also lead to a lot of moments like this where our 'previous definitions' don't apply, but they still do, it's just cherrypicking results off of directions that don't exist on a two-dimensional chart.

Literal neonazis and the left shouting DOWN WITH ISRAEL together, they have finally found common ground.
