Seriously, why is the USA supporting Israel? - eviltoast

The US is supporting Israel through what we can mostly all agree is a genocide of the Gazans. Clearly, Biden isn’t a genocidal maniac, yet he’s all in with unwavering support. Why are we doing this? There has to be a logical reason that isn’t just “we want Israel to kill everyone in Gaza and take their land a la lebensraum.”

We know this is an emotional topic, so please be respectful of each other so that we can have open and clear authentic discussion on the matter.

      You are technically correct. The best kind of correct. :)

      I was using “The War in Iraq” as a cover term for the whole ongoing conflict that arose in the aftermath of 9/11.

      I think that your point actually furthers my parallel though. As the US was in Afghanistan, the Bush Administration’s obsession with Iraq ended up with them pushing questionable Intel that there were Al Queda controlled WMDs in Iraq, and that we had to invade there as well if we really wanted to win the war.

      There’s a pretty clear parallel between that logic and the “Hamas Tunnels” arguments we’re hearing out of Israel at the moment.

        One day they will release the full uncut and unedited videos of the tunnels so we can see where they all started, ran, and ended.

        Probably any day now with how good the deepfakes are getting
