    Jfc are we really this beholden to the state of Israel? Are we really Israel’s removed?

    What the fuck is wrong with our elected representatives, grow a goddamn pair. Israel cannot dictate American domestic policy. Freedom of speech… fuck.

      It is extremely cheap and easy to purchase politicians in the U.S. Neoliberals (like Biden) and conservatives like removed McConnell have accepted money from Jewish funds like AIPAC for decades.

      Unless they are progressives, you should assume every politician you see is purchased.

      Israel DOESN’T dictate American domestic policy, evangelical Christians do. They believe that the existence of the state of Israel is a necessary step to bring about the Second Coming of Jesus, so they’re all in and absolutely nothing can sway them.

        An all-powerful, omniscient creator of literally spacetime itself, and he needs an anthill–one that is, on his scale, far smaller than a subatomic particle–to defend his honor against other anthills within the same infinitesimally small particle and to keep defending their anthill by some arbitrary and tiny point in this spacetime so they can have an everlasting party together outside of his pet spacetime, of which that anthill is, itself, constituted.
