Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon

Israel is the USA’s military arm in the middle east, it is doing exactly what it was created to do.

Also, a lot of these borders they’re fighting over were arbitrarily created by the USA and UK after WW1&2 (including Israel of course). These borders have nothing to do with the reality on the ground, enemies were mashed together with their mortal enemies and called a country.

This keeps prices of their labor low, for maximum profits. Only the royal families make bank

You got it all wrong. The US doesn’t want to do this, Israel wants to do this and have bought enough US politicians to pull it off. The US created a monster and it’s in control now. The US also needs a base in the middle east and wants access to Israel’s intelligence apparatus. Any time the US tries to flex, Bibi just threatens to make friends with Russia instead, and if the president is a giant pussy like Biden or especially Trump, they fold rather than call the bluff.

  Yes very much, funding for universities come from jewish/israeli backers, and MIT is a basically a pipeline to the IDF weapons tech.

its also no wonder why they keep targeting IRAN, the original govt before the SHAH was democratic, and they were afraid of nationalization of the oil, so they did a coup and installed the shah which eventually led to the islamic revolution, and they have been trying to get that back since. attacking iran now, likely will ensure the govt remains in place, and the uprising is largely quashed.

For the military arm in the Middle East they sure need a lot of US aircraft carriers and military bases to protest them against incoming missiles.
