Wow, thank you for your reply. That all makes a lot of sense. I know Israel isn't the most well liked nation in the middle east, so US support would definitely piss people off over there. All this conflict between the u.s and the middle east....feels like it will never end.
That tends to happen when you colonize, apartheid, ethnic cleanse, and genocide people, yeah. Who'd have thunk!
They're committing a mask-off genocide after 75 years of ethnic cleansing - all the while bombing and assassinating foreign citizens on foreign, sovereign soil.
Tell me how any country on earth would like that.
How about you tell me. What have the Iraqi and Syrian governments actually said? The groups the US is bombing are proxies for another foreign power operating within their borders, so that does complicate it just a bit.
To the war contractors who heavily drive this conflict, that's kinda the point.
