The United States is in no position to go after Israel on human rights issues given how its army acted in Iraq and Afghanistan, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionist Party) said.
He’s not wrong, but that doesn’t give him the moral high ground he thinks it does. He’s still a racist piece of shit.
Ben-Gvir said:
My right and that of my wife and my children, to travel on the roads in Judea and Samaria, is more important than the freedom of movement for Arabs.
Mizrachim (MidEast Jews) vote overwhelmingly right-wing and arguably hate Arabs more than white Jews (Ashkenazim) because they lost everything when they were expelled from Arab lands. This is a Israeli v Arab conflict, not White vs Colored. Please leave your American-centered viewpoints at the door.
Yep. Zionism is religious nationalism.
Of course most zionists are going to be right-wing nutjobs.
Why is the US still giving Israel money?
One big reason is that anyone who tries to criticize the excessive amount of taxpayer dollars sent over there is immediately shouted down and labeled an anti-Semite. We can’t have a constructive debate if people are unwilling to be honest or argue in good faith.
Israel’s unique religiosity doesn’t give it a pass (or shouldn’t).
The $150,000,000,000 we waste on that terrorist state every year gives us the authority to preach about morality.
We need to cut that aid, spending it on our own people, and then let Israel argue about morality with their Arab neighbors.
I think the tons of money, weapons and intel we give them gives us the right to make certain demands, hypocritical or not. Careful snapping at the hand that feeds….
These clowns are the reason why 9/11 and the two subsequent wars happened. The Arab world hates us for our support for Israel. Helping create the state of Israel has been an economic and political disaster for the West. Not to mention all the lives lost. Fuck this guy.
