    There was a moral imperative in 1948 & 1967 to support Israel against outside aggression who openly stated they wanted to end Israel. There’s now a moral imperative to protect Gazans and their land as was agreed to in Oslo II.

    Enjoy your mess Joe, you sleepwalked into this one, crisis by crisis by believing Bibi unconditionally until very recently. Because now Egypt is getting testy:

    Netanyahu’s words have also alarmed Egypt which has said that any ground operation in the Rafah area or mass displacement across the border would undermine its 40-year-old peace treaty with Israel. The mostly sealed Gaza-Egypt border is also the main entry point for humanitarian aid.

    That’s a big fucking issue, if Egypt is throwing that language around I doubt Jordan is far behind them. I’ll say it again, is the alliance with Israel worth it, if it jeopardizes US relations with literally every other nation in the gulf?

      I hate Israel more than the next guy, but those nations likely wouldn’t be sympathetic to the west’s form of government anyways.

      Israel is not a colony we created because we felt bad for Jewish people. Israel is a colony we created to be able to project power in the middle east.

      So, it’s not about getting Arab nations to like us. It’s about having a place to park stealth bombers those countries don’t have the technology to shoot down. It’s about having a Mafia group willing to do our dirty work so we don’t look that bad doing it
