  • Lots of other countries manage to fight terrorism without violating the Geneva Convention and killing over 10,000 civilians

    Are there any that are fighting a region entirely ruled by one? Taliban and Al Qaeda come to mind, and those regions had 100k and 300k civilian deaths respectively, despite US working with local forces.

    And neither of those had the explicit intent of using civilians as human shields like Hamas is doing by building military tunnels under hospitals and civilian areas, or 15 years of control to build it around that idea.

    If so, how does it make sense to give a government so incompetent literal billions of dollars a year?

    That’s a different matter entirely. Other than that US military aid only accounts for $3.8bil out of Israel’s already massive $23.4bil, I’d argue Israel is a greater asset to the US than the US is to Israel; it lets the US exert power and influence over the entire middle east.

    Here’s a concerning Biden clip from 30 years ago supporting that.: “Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”
