Well… I’ve moved all the way into “Fuck Israel” territory.
Is the reason we are showering Israel with weapons so that we can maintain a justified military influence in the middle east? And is the need for such influence because of fucking oil? Are we helping commit genocide because of oil? Again?!
We absolutely do not need Israel for strategic purposes. If anything our ME policy is built around protecting them as much as it’s built around oil producing countries.
“Every time anyone says that Israel is our only friend in the Middle East, I can’t help but think that before Israel, we had no enemies in the Middle East.”

It’s an oversimplification but essentially true. The pissed off middle east we’ve known our whole lives is kind of because of this bullshit

My theory is they want to nuke Iran right now and the west appeases them similar to China and North Korea
… Unsubstantiated of course
If they nuked Iran then the best thing we could do for world peace is immediately and publicly cut them loose.
All bets are off then, no one would care about public image any more
