I’ll be honest, I don’t believe that Israel waited for a “green light” from the US for a second. I don’t believe they even bothered to check in the first place.

It doesn’t matter because republicans will green light anything Israel wants to do as long as it doesn’t hurt their bank account. They gave carte Blanche a long time ago.

All of this is a distraction, from both the US and Israel, for different things. Don’t get distracted in trying to point fingers and play the blame game. All players here suck ass for different reasons, with the ones attacking and backing being top of the list.

Nobody asked or gave permission because the answer was always going to be “do whatever you want”
