Israel


War is hell......am I right, Bruno? 

It is hard to be pro-Jew and pro-Israel at the same time. Israel makes it that way. 

It's tougher when the US provides so much money and weapons to Israel too.  The US makes it that way. 

There is some understanding that we shouldn't be the world's police, but I get helping countries who are truly fight atrocities who don't have the means. Israel are none of these. 

It's doubtful anyone wakes up and sees headline about war declaration anywhere. There was a time Netanyahu seemed like a reasonable leader, but that is all out the window. It has been for some time. 

I get Palestine instigated this latest round, so they're not blameless, but Israel as all but negated Palestine's existence for decades now, most of it with violence. 



I have no good solution here. Clearly, no one does.  But maybe it's time for the US to stop funding ($520 million in defense monies so far in 2023. This isn't chump change. 

Palestine isn't Russia invading the Ukraine. The resources are forever in Israel's favour and they're still kind of dicks about it. 

The world is seemingly at a breaking point. So much strife. And war is profitable. And there's a US election coming up. Sitting presidents LOVE war.

I think it was Gore Vidal who said something along the line about defunding Israel thus forcing thems in the middle east to make peace or blow each other part he didn't care which.
