See the video of Joe Biden saying if Israel didn’t exist then the US would have to invent an Israel.

You mean the top AIPAC recipient whose entire life mission was being an agent for Israel and finally earned himself the nickname "Genocide Joe"? The guy who utterly destroyed the rules based order the West was so happy to hit the third world with?

At some point you're going to have to face the fact that Israel is a completely useless asset. The US has to airlift all bombs and supplies to Israel because it doesn't do anything by itself except throw the region into chaos and destroy the US relations with its actual colonial subjects: the Gulf states.

Their posts were keen and well reasoned. Israel matters not one whit, if the super-rich and well-positioned can find another lacky entity with designs on the whole Levant, for their own reasons.

It's all the basic Liberal jingo of why Israel is a supposed realpolitk ally which has been completely debunked over the last 3 years. Ever destabilization war in the region was fought by the US and NATO, not by Israel.

Even this war is Israelis using American fighter jets and American bombs to throw on Iran.
