Prepare to die for Israel boys

AIPAC money which funny enough comes from the US government, that is on itself taken out of tax payers money. So it's a very long way around for basically our government is stealing from us via Israel

Israel is just a US proxy state to incite wars in the Middle East. Same old, same old.

[–] Airowird@lemm.ee 24 points 1 day ago

Looking at AIPAC's influence, are we sure it's not the other way around and the US is their Western proxy-state?

[–] Rancor_Tangerine@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

The US us just an Israeli proxy state to fund wars in the Middle East is probably closer to the truth. Lol.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

In all honesty Israel is the 51st state. Also fuck them!

I still just don't understand why the US is doing this. What do they gain from Israel killing everyone within arms reach?

Evangelical Christians, aka NatCi's are in the belief that Israel is the way to begin the transition to the rapture, from squinting at the bible and reading it upside down.

The nut jobs believe the Jews are to bring Armageddon. So the nuts on the Right are waiting for God to kill the Jews for them, and the Left is fueled by fear of being (seen as) antisemitic.

The Islamic Iranian regime have been adveseries of the US for decades. IRGC leaders and supporters regulary chant "death to America" and denote it "the big satan".

Is it really that mysterious why the US would want to support attacking the Iranian regime?

[–] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 day ago

Higher oil prices. The US has become an oil exporter after all. They also went after Venezuela and Russia for similar reasons.

The Iranian revolution hates monarchirs, so a lot of Arab monarchies like the Saudis or UAE love this. Trump loves those monarchies for plane reasons.

US arms industry sells weapons.

Iran supplied weapons to Yemen disrupting the Red Sea shipping.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They buy weapons, a loooot of expensive weapons

[–] Birch@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

With money they receive from the US in the first place, the weapons manufacturers then use that money to ~~bribe~~ lobby the US government to support Israel some more and send them more money

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So the question should be more why is money being sent to them. Buying them makes sense as they aren't just being given.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You have to look at which people get the money rather than which country gets it.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Less brown people and only one country to puppet around. If the whole middle east becomes Israel, and the US controls Israel, the US now controls the whole middle east.

[–] 20cello@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

Fucking warmongers

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

They also redirected anti-drone weapons meant for Ukraine to the middle east
