      Statement of the year.

      I am so disappointed with Israel and it has never been clearer they are not America’s ally. They just expect America to always be there for them and not only do nothing in return for America, but now they are actively undermining our international relationships and more election interference than China, Russia, and Iran combined (and I constantly roast them about it too). It has forever changed my perception of Israel.

        If you only start getting disappointed about Israel after the 7 of October. You don’t know much of the history of brutality for Israel since it’s inception

            Maybe you should go back a little further. That was part of the Jewish insurgency which started because Britain tried to prevent Jews from immigrating from Europe in 1944 to appease the Arab population. There was something happening in Europe at that time which made preventing Jewish refugees from leaving Europe a really really horrible thing to do. British colonialism just letting people die once again.

            Sure what Irgun did with the King David Hotel was a terrible thing. Two wrongs don’t make a right. But if you’re so upset over 91 people being killed 78 years ago erases any thing bad the British did before that, then do you also feel that Hamas killing 1200 people erases anything Israel did before that?
