So sad that Israel completely owns the US government, pathetic really.

Unfortunately, it's a bit of the other way around. Israel only exists at the pleasure of the United States. I've read somewhere that we're funding up to 70% of their economy right now.

The sad fact of the matter is, the United States doesn't care about the Palestinian cause or plight other than the bad press it's giving them.

Don't be fooled, the United States has always been in control of a situation, and it's simply choosing not to do anything.

That’s wild if true. Did you know that Israel offers universal healthcare to its citizens? Apparently, 70% on our dime.

Meanwhile, US brutalizes its own citizens with “healthcare” that’s unaffordable even with the insurance we get as part of the indentured slavery contract. Backwards priorities through and through, but what could you possibly expect from state sponsors of terror?

That's just imperialism, dude. Unfortunately, what you're describing is the final stage of capitalism. Imperialism, where all that's left is for capital to drain everything for the gods of profit.

The democrats took their chances of winning the election and wiped their ass with it instead of coming out and saying genocide is wrong.

Israel heavily funds both parties and most likely has extensive blackmail material on both, especially Trump.

That 70% is a tithe, not an allowance.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
