So...looks like we're going to war! A war that no one but the most psychotic 25% of our country's population wants. A war that Trump might go for, despite running at the anti war guy (MAGA fell for it again!), Trump is actively getting us into, and a war that we are getting into in part at the behest of Israel.
I'm gonna be honest, at one point I was relatively pro israel. You can go back to 2023-2024, which wasnt really that long ago, and see my thinking at the time. I was never super gung ho for them, but I clearly was sympathetic to them over Palestine after October 7th, and I did give them some leeway. They abused our trust. They abused their relationship with the US, and I believe at this point we should just cut them off, and whatever happens, happens.
Strategic partnerships are supposed to be beneficial to both sides. We both get security, we both protect each other according to shared values, but Israel is using us. They've aggressively lobbied our government to the point few will go against them, and honestly, they've skewed our politics as a result. Much of what's happening now is because of Israel. Trump winning, in part because of Israel/Palestine. Trump's foreign policy, influenced heavily by Israel. Hell, the "America first" guys who stick by their principles who are turning into nazis are doing so in part because of Israel and their gross overextensions into our politics.
For as much as these guys scream antisemitism, do they not realize that antisemitism is being fueled in part because of how they're bullying our government into doing their dirty work for them? This is why church and state is essential. it sucks not just for the government, which starts enacting policies using state violence to enforce the religion, but it's also not good for the religions involved and breeds resentiment against it.
The fact is, this relationship with israel has become very politically inconvenient for countless reasons. And given the circumstances, I think it's best if we just cut off relations and let history take its course. If they get taken over by their neighbors, so be it, I don't care. We're starting a war against another country in part because of them, so at this point that's starting to become the lesser evil here.
I would be welcome for the US to reestablish relations with israel in the future, but not under the current netanyahu regime. Not as long as that war criminal who should be tried by the hague for crimes against humanity is in office. And that's another black mark against them. They've been genociding the palestinians. As I said back in 2023-2024, it's fine if Israel fights a defensive war, and Im not even gonna shy away if they have some collateral damage. But Israel has abused our trust. They've abused our relationship over and over again over the past 2.5 years, and I'm done with it.
I dont want war with Iran. And if Israel does, they can go it alone for all I care. Have fun. Stop dragging us into your bullcrap. It's not worth it. Have a nice life.
