if it’s a task I have to do, I literally just make myself physically take the first step no matter how much I don’t want to, because once I’m in media res, inertia kicks in.
There are a ton of October holidays in India, including Diwali, the festival of lights, the biggest holiday in India, so I’m going to travel around the country in October and observe some celebrations!
and hopefully eat like the best fucking food everyday.
I was hoping for a much higher quality, but they’re still kind of funny
holding two conflicting beliefs at the same time.
like you don’t believe in the death penalty, but you read about a child molester and want them to die.
if you don’t understand the comments or you’re confused, ask for help.
which part don’t you understand or cannot find sources for?
“Israel cannot exist in its current state without the aid and protection the US provides it”.
israel is a technologically advanced independent country with a functioning government, they have an enormous GDP across various industries, and they receive economic and military support from dozens of other countries.
it benefits Israel to receive billions of dollars every year from the US(as it benefits the US) as a historic mutual defense ally, but Israel is in no way entirely dependent on or explicitly beholden to the US.
“If the US actually wanted Israel to stop murdering civilians, it could have it done tomorrow.”
how? there is no evidence for this.
The US is a third party to this conflict that, more obviously than ever, has limited diplomatic control over the actions of the current Israeli government and its military.
“The iron dome is funded and built with American hardware”
this is partly correct, as obama matched the billions of dollars israel spent on the iron dome.
“If the US disassembled it…”
the US has no right or obligation to “disassemble” another countries infrastructure any more than Nigeria has the right to disassemble the French metro; this is a non-starter.
“Israel would be unable to act with impunity towards its neighbors…”
this is entirely incorrect as Israel does not require US funding to maintain the iron dome, their military, or their aggression.
The annual GDP of Israel is something like 600 billion now, taking away the 3 billion the US gives them each year isn’t going to make the difference you think it will, even ignoring all of the other countries that fund israel.
as far as a collection of news, I get a lot of it from 1440, which compiles current, objective news stories reliably.
I get ideas from the posts here, but I’m pretty careful about checking multiple sources before accepting any of the articles people post here as legitimate information.
none of those sources are at all relevant to the topic: provide evidence for either of these baseless statements:
“Israel cannot exist in its current state without the aid and protection the US provides it”.
this statement is incorrect, as explained above.
“If the US actually wanted Israel to stop murdering civilians, it could have it done tomorrow.”
this statement is incorrect, as explained above.
