Dangerous Disinfo Shifts US Blame: Claims Israel 'Caused' US War Rather Than An Extension Of It (youtu.be)

The US can continue existing as a rapacious empire with or without Israel - it surely did fine for almost 2 centuries before Israel was created out of thin air by the Anglo-Americans - but the crimes of Israel would be impossible without US empire behind it.

Israel is not blameless. Blame it for its role in facilitating Western empire up to and including abetting genocide and wars of aggression.

But do not blame it for "corrupting" something that was never wholesome to begin with.

The timing is Netanyahu's "Israel"'s:

they dragooned Trump into it, unready.

But nobody ( that I see ) is claiming that Trump didn't move multiple warships there, for the fight.

Wait til you realize that Netanyahu's pals also did 9/11 because it would benefit his fascist party?
