I don't want to bash but MAGA guys quoting FBI directors? 3 weeks ago you wanted the guy's organization disbanded. No.
If you want Hamas destroyed then shouldn't you have a few questions about targeting them? Where are these bastards? Are we killing them? Instead of accepting wholesale murder of civilians in the hopes that the bad guys are some percentage of the dead? The dead which btw far outnumber the Israeli dead, who were also civilians. It was the killing of innocent civilians, if you'll recall, which defined the bad guys as irredeemable dickheads in the first place. So don't be an evil dickhead too, cheering the death of innocents. It's pretty simple when you're not blinded by vengeance.
Antisemitism? No. If I accept Barbara Spectre videos (love her name, it's so Bond Villain), along with umpteen other Jew supremancy advocates as representative of every Jew on the planet, then don't I also have to accept ANTIFA's 100 asshole white male examples as proof that all white males are evil? Except we're not. Check out Dave Smith. Check out Prof. Norm Finkelstein. Check out Ron Avidan.
Zionism? Not so much, from my honky perspective. As a project to kick out and kill people who lived there back in 1917 or whenever - fucking hell no. In 2023 tho, I have to apply the same logic. Israeli Jews live there now, and a lot were born there. So you can't just cancel Israel and tell them to gtfo. The bottom line is that the Arabs got conquered. Plenty of nations got formed that way. It was savage but we're not giving the land back to the Aborigines or the Injuns. Way of the world. Getting conquered sucks. Like the man said "Vae Victis." If the Arabs have a gripe they have to take it up with their great grandfather. That doesn't mean any of the Jewish or Evangelical Christian hocus pocus holy book nonsense is worth a damn thing. Tbh I find it freaky the US has members of Congress who decide war policy based on scripture.
Strategywise, Israel is on shaky ground imo. We give them 4 billion a year in peacetime, at least. Here we are post-terror wars, post-Afghan, in the midst of a public opinion swing against funding Ukraine, which is tied to domestic strife of several very non-trivial flavors, a desertion of enlistment by traditional folk, financial clouds, China on the horizon, basiclly everything but locust. What happens when the blush of the current thing is off the rose? What happens when it's not just me asking what exactly is the benefit to the US of all this money and possibly all these US body bags? What happens is that Israel is obliged to stand alone in a sea of adversity because the Brits are gone and the French are gone, and if the Americans go there's no more imperial big dog. So are you sure you want to put the squeeze on the US at this moment in history?
I ask again. How exactly does it benefit the US to back Israel? We give them money and weapons. A lot of money and weapons. And this could lead to much, much bigger things over there and things going boom at home. Plus the country is crumbling. What do we get in return? Why are we doing this?
In 30 days a whole lot more people that me will be asking this and it'll take more than today's vapid McPropaganda to quell. And it's a valid question.
