    I hope I live to see Israel, in its current form, entirely destroyed. I want to believe that there are consequences to being this evil.

      Its a noble dream. But for Israel to ever face justice their largest and fiercest backer - the nation that is often the only one that votes to protect them in UN votes, and the one that has almost singlehandedly turned them into a military superpower in the middle east - the USA - must get its house in order first.

      There is zero chance of much changing on Israel while Republicans or the conservative wing of the Democrats are in power, and especially while Trump is president. That’s not to say it can’t change, but there are multiple hurdles: so, I hope you live a long time and see a lot of positive changes throughout your life.

        The US doesn’t need to “get it’s house in order”.

        It also needs to (and seems on the path to) be destroyed in its current form.

        With global trade inevitably shifting away from the unstable US, Military embarrassments against small impoverished organizations like the houthis, and diplomacy entirely built around leveraging those 2 things…it seems much more likely the US turns into a nuclear armed former superpower than that it maintains it’s global status and changes to actually use said status for good.
