As if the US gives a single shit about its citizens. That's not what nation states are for

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 37 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Israel must release the hostages or something idk. Any American in Israel rn can get bent lol

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Nah I care about them, I’ll even say the United States should launch an invasion of Israel to ensure American hostages are returned

Imperialism at home. I mean, it was already present in Isreal but now it’s effecting crackers and not just the people they’re trying to genocide.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 59 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Lol Israel is going to try everything which might even include blowing themselves up to kill everyone around them. It's a distinctly real possibility.

Being friends with them is almost the same liability as being friends with the USA. So it's very funny they are friends with each other.

Let's find out what happens next!

Imagine naming your big ultimatum after a guy whose kryptonite is getting a haircut

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 20 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I want Trump to post "If Israel does LASO - I will be mad. Very, very mad," and the reporters have no idea what he's talking about. And he doesn't explain but he just keeps posting about it "Israel NO LASO!"

a-little-trolling cowboy-cri

They're doing LASO folks! Not good! You know what this is? They do rope with the cowboy, and they go "bing bing bong" (mimes lassoing) and it's a horrible thing, just horrible.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 2 points 12 hours ago

geordi-no Ted Lasso

geordi-yes M.A.D. LASO

Quick question. When a country involved in a conflict is holding some of your citizens hostage and you’re considering which side of the conflict to join, do you help or attack the country holding your citizens hostage?

Personally if I were in charge that would be something that caused me to attack the hostage taker, not join their side.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 41 points 18 hours ago

Look, if Israel is allowed to purposefully sink US warships, they'll be allowed to kill a bunch of US citizens.

Did anyone even get a slap on the wrist for Rachel Corrie's death?

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 45 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Silly Billy; if a member of my family was taken hostage, OBVIOUSLY the worst enemies of the hostage taker are the REAL bad guys!

Also the hostage taker still needs more money from my family, including the people he took hostage, so I need to get on top of that.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 16 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

It depends. If the cops shoot your family that's because the hostage taker was the bad guy. But if someone shoots the cops because the cops took your family hostage then the person shooting the cops are also the bad guy. See your family doesn't matter only the Rules Based International Order matters and the cops can never do wrong.

Or something. I dunno I'm not a lib

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 31 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

recent history has taught me that you're supposed to bomb the area with the hostages still inside

[–] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 2 points 3 hours ago

Also cut offs all food, water, fuel, medicine, and power to the region. Your family that is being held hostage isn't safe as long as they can access medical supplies or the occasional meal.

[–] heartheartbreak@hexbear.net 19 points 17 hours ago

You mean america is sacrificing people on the altar of the world media to give them the license to get involved directly

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 63 points 21 hours ago

Release the hostages.

[–] casskaydee@hexbear.net 50 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Getting harder and harder to tell who holds the leash here. Is there any other nation in recent history that could get away with holding all US citizens residing there hostage?

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 19 points 18 hours ago

I’ve said it before, I don’t want to say the tail is wagging the dog here but I mean the dog really looks like it’s wagging!

If the tail isn’t wagging the dog it’s incredible how much they’ve made it look like it. What would look different here if Israel was the one really in charge, whether via interpersonal blackmail, nuclear blackmail, or conspiratorial cabal? Because it feels like if that was what was happening this is exactly what it would look like.

I feel like a normal person who doesn’t believe in Bigfoot and having to go “Fuck those are some size 18 footprints though”

[–] MizuTama@hexbear.net 28 points 19 hours ago

You even see a small person with a big dog and it becomes a power struggle the moment they want to go even slightly different ways?

lol, aren't like 30% of the settlers there US citizens?

[–] BanSwitch2Buyers@hexbear.net 3 points 9 hours ago

I don't think it's that high. Maybe if you include US citizens + their Israeli children across the years. Axios says there were 600K Americans around Oct. 7th though not sure if that counts dual-citizenship people. They're out-numbered by Europeans according to Wikipedia. A lot of people also move their and then leave: "48% of all post-1990 departures (from Israel) and even 60% of 2003 and 2004 departures were former immigrants to Israel".

Lol like Trump will give a fucking shit.

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 24 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Never doubt an American's bloodthirst

Never doubt Trump's laziness.
