In Congress today, the war criminal who has starved, killed and maimed tens of thousands of Palestinians was given standing ovations and 70 applause breaks.
It wasn’t the only thing that happened. Over 100 Democrats boycotted the address and thousands protested outside. Still, I think this cartoon captures the spectacle of what happened inside the building.
They keep Israel as a foothold on the Middle East, which pushes US negotiations with other countries in the favor of the US.
Man this trope keeps getting pushed as gospel…
Israel didn’t have to ethnically cleanse the region even if this is true though.
This is what Israel decided to do and AIPAC was able to lobby for it successfully to maintain US support.
There is zero benefit for US here.
Clearly people don’t remember USS Liberty
They do, Israel is a genocidal Settler-Colonial fascist regime. They need an enemy, and they need that enemy’s land.
AIPAC is part of the puzzle, but the US has a history of unconditional support for Israel regardless, because Israel protects US profits.
Name these profits Israel protects for the US lol.
Man again another fake news spread as gospel
Aipac is a split off from

They did it to avoid registrations as foreign agents
"If we look at the Middle East, I think it’s about time we stop, those of us who support, as most of us do, Israel in this body, for apologizing for our support for Israel.
There is no apology to be made. None. It is the best $3 billion investment we make.
Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region; the United States would have to go out and invent an Israel.
I am with my colleagues who are on the floor of the Foreign Relations Committee, and we worry at length about NATO; and we worry about the eastern flank of NATO, Greece and Turkey, and how important it is. They pale by comparison…
They pale by comparison in terms of the benefit that accrues to the United States of America."
Joe Biden, 1986.
You didn’t name the profits israel protects… I am assuming you can’t.
Citing an AIPAC hoes speech from 30 years ago aimed at bolstering the propaganda you are repeating is support for the initial claim.
Again, US doesn’t benefit front this genocide or support of Israel.
This support is detrimental to the US geopolitical position. If US cut Israel off tomorrow, nothing would change for the US like
Israel would be fucked tho. 🐸
What profits do I “name?” That Israel protects US access to oil, ergo profits?
You genuinely have no concept of geopolitics.
Lol what?
Said a guy who doesn’t understand current global oil market lol
JFC. You are spouting Israeli propaganda without even understanding it. Do some basic due diligence on the topic please.
What don’t you understand about the US maintaining a loyal military powerhouse in the Middle East to force negotiations in their favor? Bringing a gun to the table when making a deal makes it go smoother for the Genocidal US Empire.
I don’t quite follow how pointing out that the US has and will always maintain support for Israel to protect US economic interests is Israeli propaganda, I am directly calling out the Genocidal Empire and its leashed dog.
