Man fails to read the part where i said:

Yes, Israel has a powerful lobby in AIPAC. Yes, they spend a lot of money trying to bring our politicians in line with their goals. But we are already extremely well-aligned for cultural and geopolitical reasons, so what the claim that Israel is controlling US foreign policy amounts to is saying that a kid sticking his hand out the window of the car is materially affecting its course.

But I'm going to choose to assume that wasn't a failure of reading comprehension on your part, just that you're a troll making wild-assed statements with nothing to back them up with or you'd have made well-supported arguments instead, so I'm going to go do something more productive with my day. Have a nice life.

"Well, yes, the US is ruining its entire global reputation backing an open genocide, but have you considered that Israelis are white?"

Bazinga great argument this really explains it all away. The massive lobby. Israel literally bragging about how they control American politicians. Their AIPAC handlers. Israel having nukes. The USS Liberty. Everything just makes so much sense now. There's a bunch a white people in Israel!

This comment thread is so funny to stumble on now that Israel has controlled the US enough to bomb Iran and start a war without congressional approval.

Sure, bud. We totally didn’t attack Iran because Israel was going to, absolutely not /s

The third is the assessment that was made that if we stood and waited for that attack to come first before we hit them, we would suffer much higher casualties.  And so the President made the very wise decision.  We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even higher those killed, and then we would all be here answering questions about why we knew that and didn’t act.
