Why the fuck is Israel always the first question. Fuck Israel let them deal with their own shit, keep American dollars in America.

Israel wants to keep their universal healthcare. They like that we fund part of their military so they can have it.

It's kind of interesting that we don't frame that particular argument in this country.

because they are becoming increasingly unpopular amongst usa, and EU, they are losing some support both from propaganda and politician support, also the fact epstein files is heavily tied into this too. plus they want to keep thier FUNDING coming into the country. also we are basically subsidizing thier UNiversal healthcare too.

Sounds exactly like America First. Leftism is turning into fascism before our eyes. But y'all will deny that it's happening, won't you?

American exceptionalism makes Americans believe that Israel can only exist because of them. The reality is Americans vote based on the price of gasoline, that price is dependent on the stability of the Middle East and access to waterways like the Strait of Hormuz and the Suez Canal.

The average American is too ignorant to have even heard of the Camp David Accords so they default to antisemitism to explain why things are the way they are in the Middle East.

Fascism isn't creeping on you, it's already thriving in the US. It's just you're in the middle of it so you don't understand that you've been captured by it. You're saying nationalistic and antisemitic things and consuming rhetoric from algorithms designed to keep you perpetually angry to drive engagement and ultimately to control you.

If the internet is telling you you're supposed to hate people you should be asking who is telling you that and what their agenda is, because emotional manipulation is how fascism works. But instead you attack those who tell you that you shouldn't engage in the politics of hatred. Because you're going down the fascist path.

Do you think there's never been fascists that called themselves socialists before?

It's not antisemitic to decline to continue funding a fucking genocide.

Israel has no right to financial assistance for their violent theft of other people's land and livelihood.

Fuck all the way off with your piss poor propaganda.
