It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Israel is an important outpost of the American Empire, it will not be discarded. They would rather lose.
American Empire is over
"You know it, I know it, everyone knows it."
Also, I would argue, that bending to all the insane reactionaries like Bibi, Greenblatt, etc. and fully enabling and furthering genocide only guarantees and quickens the demise of Israel. If they actually cared about maintaining the outpost, they're doing exactly the opposite thing to keeping it. Allowing Palestine as a state and forcing Israel to stand down vs Iran and other regional powers would be how you keep it around... longer anyway. They're living in 1991 forever thinking the US can do literally anything it wants and support anything it wants, and actually it MUST support this because showing "weakness" would be worse than defeat. It's not 1991 though and the Zionists are hellbent on replicating the Führer bunker but on the nation state level
It is not over, but it is slowly declining. It is dangerous to underestimate enemies.
And Israel is serving its purpose well, so they don't see the need to change the approach.
I don't think we're there yet. The first and most obvious indicators will be US closing it's foreign military bases, and leaving the south China sea.
Yep, if they discard Isntreal, they might as well close up shop on the whole empire and it's 800+ bases.
Then they shall lose
