        Pasting from my reply elsewhere in the thread

        The main issue is as soon as the Genocide started all talk of aid and economy building went out the window.

        The US just wants access to the gas reserves, they don’t care who controls it, as long as they’ll be aligned with the petro dollar.

        Israel will control the reserves after the genocide is over, that’s the point. Israel wants access to that revenue stream and bombing Palestinians is a really reliable way to ensure that.
