Iran sent hundreds of missiles and drones towards Israel late last night, in retaliation for Israel bombing their embassy in Syria on April 1st, violating international law and killing seven Iranians. It’s unclear how many of these actually reached Israel, as U.S. and UK jets scrambled to intercept them, and the Iron Dome and other Israeli defenses took many out of the air, but the initial answer appears to be very few. As the dust settles this information could change, but as of this morning there are
I feel like Israel is giving us a front row seat to why you wouldn’t want someone entirely concerned with their own self interests as a head of state, particularly in an active conflict.
Here’s to hoping more people will catch some much needed insight that putting Trump back in office would be inviting the same dynamic to play out here.
U.S. citizens will have to do more than just "push" to cut funding and weapons. What does that even mean? More hand-wringing? More strongly worded speeches? More protest matches? Voting? All of these have been tried over the last six months, without much effect. Innocent people in Gaza are still being killed. The food and medicine is still blocked.
Direct action has to be taken. For example, something in the order of a general work strike across the country. Income taxes fund the war machine. Every day you go to work, you are contributing to the genocide. People in Gaza have been starving for six months. And we (who say we care) can't go without pay for a week?
We are going to have to be willing to sacrifice something meaningful in order to have meaningful change.
As I just learned from a Palestinian activist, Anat International on Instagram, the Iron Dome is weak or absent in places where Arab Israelis live. These are the people who are most likely to feel an outside attack. She is so lovely and explains very simple, necessary truths clearly.
You’d think our government would learn from Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq to never launch an offensive for imperialistic purposes; but sadly we’re going to see history possibly rhymed again with another forever war in the Middle East but with more dire consequences. This is the perfect example of insanity.
And for those who wonder why we are afraid of WW3 it is simple: inevitable escalation to nuclear apocalypse and the end of the human race.
They have been quarreling for 2000 years.. let them be.. it would be really good if we could stay in our own back yard, take care of our own issues and stop interfering with the whole world.
Only a few profit from yet another war and it's not The People.
Especially on foriegn soil.
Just like Pakistan and Afghanistan.. they have to learn their own lessons on their own time.
If people can't get on board for every moral & obvious reason, they should get on board with the fact that Americans worldwide & stateside are having their safety threatened by the US & Israel's actions in that region. I mean 9/11 was pretty creative, I would hate to see what other shit could be cooked up.

It should be none of our business.
When will we learn?

Itisn't Israel that got us here-thank Joe for 3 fronts and counting
