The administration claimed that blocking arms transfers would embolden Hamas — ignoring Israel’s genocidal slaughter.

They've been in an alliance since 1979. That's not going to change any time soon and Israel has nothing to do with it.

I can't help it if the news is playing dumb.

Russia is at war with Ukraine and North Korea and China are helping while Iran and Israel are exchanging missles. Iranian drones are being used by Russia in Ukraine.

Who’s playing dumb?

I'm not saying they aren't in an alliance. I'm saying it's not new and it has shit all to do with Israel. We have 18 other allies in the region to contain Iran, including countries that actually border it. We don't need Middle East Mussolini.

We don’t need Iran helping Russia invade Ukraine or China invade Taiwan either.

Okay? And what does that have to do with Israel?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Israel and Iran have been firing missles at each other recently.

It is harder for Iran to help Russia and China if Israel can keep them from growing in power in the region. At least that seems to be the opinion of US military intel.

Oh and Israel is the only possible country to do that are they? The 18 countries in the middle east that are closer allies can't possibly do it? We absolutely have to support genocide?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Who is better equipped for it that is already defending themselves from Iran?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

You're right, we should be pouring money and material into Iraq. Instead of the country that's sustained a mild barrage because of the genocide it's currently conducting.
