I saw an article about them attacking Lebanon now. So, where will it stop? Have the Israeli government ever spoken about this?

    Your take makes a lot of sense but I do wonder how advantageous israel really is anymore. In the past it was an easy base, but we control Saudi, UAE etc now.

    It feels like people downplay how much our policitians are in israels pocket. AIPAC is flaunting publicly that they practically own all American politicians.

    Even when being utterly worthless israel might be able to keep American taxpayer dollars flowing to them by bribing politicians.

      I find it wild that people say this so openly now, when before Oct 7 saying something like this would get you branded as a neo-Nazi. AIPAC being a massively powerful lobby is nothing new, it’s just socially acceptable to oppose them now.

      That’s also highly valid, and not something I factor heavily into my thoughts about the future of U.S. support.

      Shit. Huh. I gotta rethink that.
