Canada, the UK, Japan, Australia, and South Korea, amongst others, are genuine military allies and political friends of the US whose soldiers have shed blood with ours in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Israel, on the other hand, is a one-way street which has received $317.9bn of American taxpayer dollars since 1948 and is the main source of instability in the Middle East.

PM Netanyahu seems to want to extend the war instead of trying to fight for peace.

Why?

Well, one reason that has surfaced is that, when the war ends he will have to faces charges in court.

So he seems to want to prolong the war, even to the point of apparently sucking Pres Trump into the quagmire, just so he may not have to face justice.

Israel is a terrorist organization.

The $12 billion the US sent Israel in military funding in 2025 to murder Palestinian children could have instead paid for free or low-cost healthcare for 3.5 million children in the US.


"Thanks, hardworking American taxpayer! We have world-class universal healthcare here in Israel while you're stuck with the "Big Beautiful Bill" and medical bankruptcies.
So, keep voting for AIPAC candidates and keep sending Israel free money every year!"
Signed,
Bibi

Israel has the "disease" of being an apartheid state, and it has infected many countries, most notably the US, with the sickness of genocide. Weird thing is, if Israel had instead worked hard for peace and worked to help the Palestinians establish a state, Israel would be stronger, more unified.

But then they wouldn't be the "World's only "Jewish" State.

They would have to accept others as Equals.

That's just not who they are.

The news laws designating Israel as a State where only Jews have the "Right to Self Determination" is who they Really Are.

Nuremberg laws in Israel. Think about that.

Jews cannot marry non Jews and be accepted as true Israelis.

Bloodlines are examined before new immigrants get approved as "REALLY JEWISH".

Real Nazi "Master Race", type Shit.

But they're the only "Democracy" in the ME.

Iran is a Democratic Nation BTW.

As much as Israel is.

Give us some credit. Like the Nazis, the Zionists learned it from us.

America's Jim Crow Apartheid State and Sundown Towns have just been in hibernation since 1965.

But they're coming back.

And this comeback is what Republicans have stood for as long as I've been alive.

"Iran is officially an Islamic Republic, not a democracy in the Western sense, and functions primarily as a theocratic authoritarian state.

While Iran holds regular elections for president and parliament, an unelected, hard-line body " the Guardian Council " disqualifies candidates, and supreme power lies with the unelected Supreme Leader."

Iran is about as "Democratic" as is Vlad's Russia.
