    Israel is not a protectorate of the US but an independent and democratic country whose citizens are the ones who choose the government

    Okay cool, can we stop supplying weapons and Intel now?

      Please let Washington supply weapons and let them show mask off reality. It is in best interests of the world for USA to collapse beyond recovery and become another UK.

        I’m all for the destruction of US hegemony but not at the expense of the people of Palestine.

            The US has its fingers in more pies than just Israel. Egypt just got a huge multibillion dollar loan from the IMF thanks to America throwing their support behind them (likely in exchange for building that nifty concentration camp in Sinai).

              I assume Egypt is not bought out or a vassal state, like Israel is. That is why I said Israel is the only MEA state left, similar to Japan or South Korea or Phillipines or Taiwan. There is still a long way to go before the non-white world purges out the excreta that is white colonisers.

                The people in Arab countries are generally anti imperialism but the leadership can often to be beholden to America through (usually oil based) financial ties. Egypt’s government, for example (because it’s freshest in mind), has repeatedly tried to crack down on pro Palestine protests likely at the behest US handlers. They’re obviously not quite as heavily controlled as Israel, though one could argue that Israel has slipped the leash a bit lately, and Israel’s destruction would be a huge blow, but I don’t feel it would be the killing stroke you and I would like it to be.
