    I am getting the feeling that Israel (aka US) is creating more terrorists on purpose. If my entire family was killed and I survived I would be out for blood. I think anyone would.

    Is this done just an excuse for the US to re-insert itself in a middle eastern conflict so our tax dollars can enrich the military industrial complex? Sure seems like it

    We created our enemies in the Middle East, they would have no reason to hate us if we didn’t.

      Setting aside the US for a moment, I think Israel’s embattled condition has always helped the Zionist cause. Being in a state of crisis binds the Israeli people together and draws foreign aid. There’s also a draw for Jewish people around the world to go defend the homeland. All of this draws in people and money to Israel. And of course it creates the martial conditions for them to forcibly exclude millions of Arabs from their “democracy.” If Israel had been peaceably founded and there was no separation with Gaza / the West Bank then Israel likely would have stopped being a Jewish majority, Jewish controlled state long ago. Now that their society is affluent and developed, they’re having a harder time keeping up on birth rates too. You can get people to have 8 kids on a farming kibbutz. Gen-Z ravers with tech jobs? Not so much.

      Not sure why we need a reason, or to keep up a front.

      No one looks at the war and says, “i really think itd be swell if the US got involved”

      If its about momey or whatever, i feel like the people in power could just… invade? No need for fronts?

      I’m stoned, and no simple explanation will be accurate.

      But it basically works like this.

      Invade -> Resources?

      Yes -> take if non renewable. Banana Republic if renewable. Create enemies.

      No -> create enemies.

      Stir up tension with enemies neighbors and enemies.

      Sell arms to one/both.

      Play hero by putting a stop to this militant terrorist communist et ceteras.

      Profit.
