Biden walks back sanctions on Israeli settlers following Smotrich's threat
Biden administration dramatically softens the sanctions it imposed on the seven Israelis from the Israel Defense Forces and makes it clear that they will be able to use their bank accounts.
You're viewing a single thread.
People still going to act like somehow Israel controlling Dems is completely different than Russia controlling republicans.
If we had standards we could have politicians that dont belong to foreign genocidal fascists.
But when you say that, assholes that defend either party no matter what both accuse you of stupid shit online. Because they literally can't fathom having standards instead of blind loyalty. They're so far gone they can't process that's a valid option.
No one's "controlling" either party of the most powerful country in the world. This is how right-wingers think instead of analyzing things materially.
Supporting the US colony in Palestine is bipartisan for obvious reasons (more tools for imperialism in the region, and keeps the middle-east less stable and unable to unite against the US). And the only reason republicans are more open to Russia right now is because they want to change focus to China, because they (correctly, imo) see China as the current biggest threat to US hegemony rather than Russia.
What the fuck?
I'm used to republicans saying Russia doesn't control republicans...
I'm used to neoliberals saying AIPAC doesn't control the Dems who take their money...
And while rare, I've seen others that criticize both parties like I do
But I'm honestly intrigued how an American in 2024 can look at both parties, and legitimately Believe everything is fine.
Supporting the US colony in Palestine
Like, do you think Israel is a US colony?
And your part about Russia and Republicans?
Where the fuck do you get your opinions from mate?
"Israel" was formed as a general western settler colony in Palestine using common british colonization tactics [III] because this region is a bridge between Africa and Asia, with companies literally named "Colonization Commission", "Jewish Colonial Trust" and the like. And has been functioning mostly as US colony since, serving its imperialist interests in the region (against Syria, Iran, Yemen, etc).
Theodor Herzl, founder of the colonial ideology he called "zionism", was himself also just a racist colonizer by his own admission, and saw it as bringing ‘civilization’ to ‘barbarians’ as the rest of Europe did when they were colonizing and enslaving Africa and Asia:
“We should there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism. We should as a neutral State remain in contact with all Europe, which would have to guarantee our existence.” Source [II]
Only difference now is that the US has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2, no longer UK in Europe.
As for republicans, if you pay attention to the extreme anti-China rhetoric from Tucker Carlson, Trump, etc it's pretty clear what they're trying to do. Allying with China against the USSR on Kissinger's recommendation was a large contributor to its overthrow, and it makes sense they want to do that against China now, what with both the US and Russia now being capitalist states.
I'd say that's the most ridiculous thing I've read this morning...
But I've already clicked your username and saw the comment where you claim ISIS is a part of the US government because they've attacked China and Russia.
Have a nice life, I sincerely hope it gets better for you.

Never said it's "part of the US government". But it's obviously just become a US proxy in the region now, kinda like "israel"; no wonder the two help each other out then.
Name any colony that constantly insults their "mother country" and gets any demand they make including billions of dollars in aid every year.
You've got the power dynamic backwards dawg....
It's an investment. The capitalist ruling class of the US get far more in return by keeping the middle-east subjugated to the US through "israel" than the money they spend on the colony. Biden agrees.
Did I say it was a colony? And even if I had, the reasons for those things are literally in the linked articles. We need them there.
No, someone else did...
I replied to them, and then you just posted a bunch of links in reply to my comment.
You literally didn't say anything, so how did you expect people to guess what you meant?
I'm sure it was perfectly clear to you what you were doing, but no one else could do anything besides make assumptions
I edited it (my last reply above this), but we're probably done here anyway.
Israel owns both the Republicans and Democrats. They probably have even more influence over the Republicans due to the evangelicals.
Genocide Joe is still a spineless bitch for not doing more, but Republicans would be worse.
