    You think a western aligned colony of Europeans and Americans sitting in the middle of an otherwise hostile part of the world needs any more grease? You ain’t thinking like a state. You ain’t playing that mental game of interests and geopolitical boardgame shenanigans. You’re thinking that there’s no way America would do this on its own, that it has to be coaxed into supporting a genocide. Nah dude. Here’s the simple breakdown. Israel will do what we say when we need to get something done in the region. After that, anything goes. This is basic American foreign policy. We supported mass killings and genocides our whole existence because the killers were technically our friends. Why would this time be any different? Or what next, you going to say Nicaragua owned American politics? How bout south Korea? Why would isreal be different.

      You’re conflating actively supporting the genocide of Palestine (something the US doesn’t benefit from outside Israel) and maintaining a strategic partner/toehold in the region - even if they’re an ethnostate (something the US does benefit from).

      That’s incredibly ironic considering your Risk-level analysis of IR.

        Oh my bad, you want a dissertation on the historical, economic and cultural reasons why a state would support a colony made of its own people? Cool, I’ll get right to work on that.

            I’m sorry? Where do you think the population of Israeli colonists came from? The sky? Just fell right from heaven itself? Americans and Europeans for God’s sake. Look man. I ain’t gonna tit for tat you all day for every silly complaint you have for me.

              I’m sorry that you don’t understand the history or demographics of Israel.

                  Breaking news update. Eastern Europe no longer considered European. Slavs heartbroken. More news at 6.

                  You really don’t realize that most Israelis aren’t Ashkenazi, huh. Really just talking about Israel without knowing the most basic shite. Checks out.
