Israel is its own country and responsible for its own actions. Don't drag the West into this just because some financial aid is given.

"Financial aid" bruh America is sending a carrier group to slaughter Palestinians

That there to stop any neighbouring countries getting any ideas.

At least for now anyway

Getting any ideas about intervening to prevent the full-on eradication the IOF is revving up for.

Yeah. Basically.

Israel exists to be a permanent aircraft carrier for the US, as admitted by the current American President, but go off on how it’s actually its own country 🙄

USA sends on average 3.8 billion a year in aid to Israel. Israel also has a lobbying system in the US to skew public opinion in favor of Israel (the most prominent groups are CUFI and AIPAC), where in certain divisions, Mossad bots spew Israeli propaganda on fake accounts (much like the Kremlin bots).

The government always touts Israel as "our best ally". Not to mention that USA always has unequivocal support to Israel, even if they might criticise them for a couple things. Funny how they support the oppressed while also supporting the aggressor.

Just report as propaganda. It's all this dude does.
