Yeah I mean it's like Libya Vs North Korea. Gadaffi gave up his weapons of mass destruction and ended up sodomised with a sword in a Western backed regime change.

North Korea has nukes and gets the kid gloves treatment.

My guess is Iran would prefer the North Korea path.

That CEO needs the Luigi treatment.

Fuck Germany.

I'm so tired of being trapped in the middle of this psychotic Jewish psychodrama. Can we just agree to stop killing, starving, orphaning and mutilating kids?

These Arab despots are Israel's bitches anyway so they won't mind.

A hunger crisis? You mean weaponized starvation of children by the Zionist regime?

They cared in the past though. Previous "mowing the lawn" massacres like Operation Cast Lead were cut short after only a few weeks because of pressure from the US. Back in the 1980s Reagan accused Begin of committing a "Holocaust" in the invasion of Lebanon and the Sabra and Shatilla massacres were met with revulsion in the West.

The question then is why would they be indifferent to a full blown genocide now? You mention Kissinger-esque realpolitik in your other reply but that wasn't any different under Obama.

Ultimately I think we are arguing the same things. Whether one frames Israel as a colony or garrison state or ally of the West it is viewed (by the West) as a rampart of Western power that can't be easily replicated. Perhaps the reason the genocide is tolerated is that the West, unlike in earlier eras, is in structural decline and it needs to hang on to it's strategic assets at all costs.

Yes I think you're right in that it is Israel's choice to eliminate the Palestinians and the Arab elites, and Turkey and Iran for that matter, have agency in supporting their own imperial ambitions in the region and aren't just Western or Russian puppets.

But there is strong convergence with Western interests in seeing the Palestinians eliminated and in Israel's case they couldn't achieve this without a constant supply of weapons, technology transfers and diplomatic shielding as well as domestic repression of dissent by Western powers. Israel and the West are partners in genocide even if the moral responsibility for the genocide falls squarely on Israel.

I bought a Lifestraw to filter water which I also use for making tea and coffee. It filters out PFAS along with micro plastics and other shit we are poisoning ourselves with. Don't know if it would work with beer.

"We are going to toughen our stance on our genocidal colony as soon as all the Palestinians have been eliminated"

Liberal Zionists prefer more palatable methods for eliminating Palestinians (cultural erasure, apartheid, legalized land seizure) but they don't oppose genocidal escalations when they do occur.

They both support their genocidal garrison state no questions asked.
