Biden instantly sending 8 Billion dollars in weapons really says it all. The US is planning to let Netanyahu bomb everything he wants. When they strike back in kind the US will use it as a pretense send in troops to start a war with Iran.
A smart move by Netanyahu. He knows he needs to get rid of Iran or they will outpace Israel. Now that Israel fully controls America this is the time to start their war with Iran with impunity.
- Biden instantly sending 8 Billion dollars in weapons
  Wasn't this before the bombing?
  Edit: source
  
  One day before the bombing of Nasrallah (with advance knowledge and US cooperation). But after Israel started their recent Lebanon bombing campaign.
- Everything the US does starts to make sense when you realize the US government is fully owned by lobbyists and wealthy donors. The Military Industrial Complex is a trillion dollar for-profit industry with the deepest pockets in the world. The capitalists who profit from it effectively own our country.
- They don't fully control America though. Most of us didn't even realize the actual situation until this year. The Palestinians just got lumped in under terrorism and that was that. The new media exposure is turning that around. If you look at our response to apartheid in South Africa it's tracking pretty closely. The halls of power didn't want to care and the people forced them to care.
  
  The worst part is the behavior of Netanyahu's Israel is making people sympathetic to facism and Nazism, something unseen since the 1930s.
  
  it's quite easy to detest Nazis and Zionists.
  very similar ideologies
  
  ya, they are both fascists
  
  The behavior of Netanyahu isn't making people sympathetic to fascism nor German fascism. the behavior of Netanyahu is literally fascist, the people calling out against Netanyahu are literally the opposite of sympathetic to fascism, fascism is way more than "Jew bad", in fact the whole antisemitism is more coincidental as Jews were a larger minority group, and fascism targeted all minority groups, with Jews being the largest they also had a larger target on their backs in comparisons to other groups that also went off to the camps.
  
  Yup. Although to be fair it was always there lurking. There was always a part of America that dreamed about killing, exiling, and/or enslaving half the country.
  
  They don’t fully control America though.
  You might want to check the list before making these claims.
  
  Even if contributions guaranteed policy that still speaks to my point of an elite that wants to support an apartheid government and a people waking up and getting mad about it.
- Israel does not "fully control" America (literally an antisemitic conspiracy theory).
  It is literally the other way around: The US controls Israel and has the power to make them stop their genocide but chooses to send them more waepons to use for more war crimes.
  
  I really don't like french cheese. Am I racist with the french for that?
  I really think that Germany has too much power over EU. Does this make me racist with Germans?
  I understand some antisemitic may use war as a way to spread their idepology but the opposite is not true.
  One person may disagree with the geopolic of this war without having any issue with the citizens of a country involved
  
  I really think that Germany has too much power over EU. Does this make me racist with Germans?
  Doesn't Germany have the largest population of all EU countries? It makes sense that the country with the largest population and largest economy might also have more influence than lower population countries.
  
  I really don't like french cheese. Am I racist with the french for that?
  No
  I really think that Germany has too much power over EU. Does this make me racist with Germans?
  Germany is the country with the most seats in the EU parliament. The influence of germany is not a conspiracy theory, but a fact, therefore: No
  Are Israeli politicians members of congress ? Or the house ? Ok, so maybe the comparison is bullshit.
  One person may disagree with the geopolic of this war without having any issue with the citizens of a country involved
  Yes, correct.
  Not sure what that has to do with the fact that America is on the side of genocide of its own free will instead of being secretly controlled by Israel into being on the side of genocide 🤷
  
  Politicians are literally committing treason in service to zionism. Not just the majority who are completely bought but also those who openly serve a foreign regime.
  
  Yes they are ideologically aligned with zionism, that does not mean they are controlled by Israel.
  The outcome is similar, the analysis and legal ramifications are very different.
  Yes, many are bought by AIPAC. AIPAC works to the benefit of the Israel, but it recieves it's funding from wealthy american christian zionists. Again, aligned with zionism, not controlled by Israel, not the same.
