Or, even better, the beginning of Isreal's transformation into a country where people see through the bullshit of the far-right and elect decent leaders, leaving Netanyahu to rot in prison.
You're right. Given demographic changes in the US, I do think it's only a matter of time before most Americans consider Israel to be an albatross around their necks.
Oh fuck off, Israel and their global backers are continuing their century-long campaign to take Palestine and remove/kill Palestinians. Hamas is just a recent development which happens to neatly justify this period of Israeli colonial violence.
After Hamas runs its course (however that ends up happening), then do you think Israel will back off? Of course not and the idea is preposterous.
Israel was founded in 1948. How was Israel backing a campaign to kill Palestinians for twenty four years prior to its existence? Also, if Israel's goal is to kill all Palestinians, why are daily death tolls going down and why are there any buildings still standing in Gaza and the West Bank?
If you're going to correct people you should probably get the details right.
Settlement started long before the founding of Israel, afterall there must be citizens to start a country.
It really got going in 1917 when, after WW1 and the carving up of the Ottoman empire, Britain was like "fuck me but that looks like a good place to shove Jewish people innit?".
You don’t know what you’re talking about or why Hamas exists. Ehud Barak is more capable of empathizing than you, when he was asked what would you do if he were a Palestinian he said he’d fight.
It's not that complicated. It's because Iran has the goal of destroying Israel and killing everyone Jew in the middle east, and because Israel obviously isn't going to just surrender Tehran. The resultant war would kill tens of millions of people, compared to the 26,000 that have died in this war. So no we won't probably won't, we definitely won't.
There sure is a lot of talk about how supposedly everyone in the Middle East wants to kill every Jew on the planet, but only Israel is carrying out genocide there. Also, it was the Germans who killed six million Jews and then Europe pushed Jews to Palestine and somehow it's all the fault of people in the Middle East?
The question is, can Israel broker peace? With all these American weapons and cash, they have no interest in brokering peace, but without that support, maybe their incentives will change.
We could pull that support tomorrow, they'll be fine. I have 0 concerns.
The world court can do two things. First, arbitrate between two consenting states who agree to abide by the decision. Second, issue advisory rulings which have absolutely no functional authority. America doesn't have to step in. Nation states around the world wouldn't have signed onto a world court that could actually compel them to obey, we all like our sovereignty.
