And it won't matter as long as Israel receives money and support from the US.

And I doubt the US will ever stop.

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 57 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Isreal is the best way to funnel billions of dollars back to American defense companies, of course it's not going to stop.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

It also directly goes to politicians through AIPAC

The USA has literally funded terrorist groups aka "freedom fighters" such as the IRA, the Taliban, and the Contras around the world for decades. Supporting a nuclear powered rogue state is nothing new unfortunatly

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Well... none of those are nuclear powered rogue states, so maybe somewhat new

And I doubt the US will ever stop.

naah there's legitimate reason to believe that they will stop

for one, israel has mostly existed to pressure arab countries into giving the US oil. because no modern society functions without a lot of energy. now with renewable energy, that's significantly less important so i don't see why the US would go through all these hassles just to get energy.

He was told that Iran would fold quickly and it would be an easy win for his ego. It’s not happening, and even Fox News can’t sugarcoat the fuel crisis for months and months.

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Now he's looking at Cuba for his 'win'.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 24 points 4 days ago

Cuba was being planned well before the Iran War started.

You thought gas prices are bad? Just wait until sugarcane sugar skyrockets!

[–] errer@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

We don’t use any of that commie sugar in the US, all corn squeezins baybee

Same thing happened with Iraq.

We were told it would be a quick win, a month at most, and wouldn't cost more than a billion dollars.

L---O---L

Both Democrats and Republicans support this war, if not in word than in deed, and I fully expect it to last for years.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

probably suggested by NETANYAHU, if you dont want these epstein files to be released, distract the public by attacking iran, and also benefiting us by giving us aid.

How about instead of Cuba you invade Israel Mr President? Now that would be something no president world ever have done. You would surely go down in history! I'm sure we can also come up with some kind of biggest penis peace prize for you.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 17 points 4 days ago (6 children)

And what, make it the 51st state? ☹️

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 days ago

👐the best state👐

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

We can keep it a territory, that's fine. They don't need to vote.

Besides, enforcing the Civil Rights act on them would be a delight to see.

In what has been described as one of the worst calls between the two, Trump “steamrolled” Netanyahu, a US official said, and Netanyahu responded with “OK, OK just make sure everything is taken care of”.

It's the Reagan moment where he figured out that he could tell them to stop for whatever they were doing and they stopped. Trump cares a lot about what people think. I would love it if he finds israel too toxic to support and cuts them off.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You enabled it and got played

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

America has been getting played by Israel since the 40s

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Not at all, This genocide is all part of America's plan Israel is just doing the, dirty work.

It's just a minor crisis, he'll forgive him.

[–] einkorn@feddit.org 33 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Wow, a rare moment of clarity for Trump?

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 43 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's an unsourced alleged phone call from a British rag. I'm really not holding my breath on this one

[–] Nick@mander.xyz 20 points 4 days ago

If it makes you feel better, it's not originally from a British rag, it's actually from White House mouthpiece Barak Ravid at Axios! The same "reporter" who's been edging the public for months about an Iran agreement being imminent to help manipulate the market every few days. So I'm sure it's true :)

Netanyahu turned Israel into Israpel.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Baby throws tantrum.

Can we get a conservative to translate?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 3 days ago

fox, newsmax, oan, and many right wing pundits will not even report on this.

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

Lol this is low quality propaganda, and political circus, America is openly directing the genocide in Gaza and now Lebanon. Propaganda pieces like these are just mechanisms to wash trump's hands while the zionist butchers continue to do America's dirty work killing innocent civilians to take their land and resources.

He's right. I used to think of Israel as just another country, and now I regard them the same way I regard North Korea.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Israel, Russia and the US is the new axis of evil

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This article is thinly veiled pro-trump propoganda.

And what does everyone think of America with Trump as their leader 😆😅. Entitled, ignorant cunt!!

[–] Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 days ago

He sniffed a baboon's ass, then got mad that he got shit on his nose.

[–] ProfessorScience@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

We'll if that's not the pot calling the kettle black...

Huh. I guess even Trump can't be wrong all the time.

Surely now will be the time the US decides it's bad that they're doing genicide. We're totally not accomplices, it's this guy that's wacko.

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

For once, he's not wrong. Though the exact same could be said about him & USA.

Gee....I wonder why everyone hates Isreal?

It's a goddamn mystery, ain't it?
