In WW2, America realized collectively that we fucked up. We were as antisemitic as every other nation that turned away Jewish people seeking asylum before the war, which was ALL OF FUCKING EUROPE. And millions died as a result.
A little scrappy motherfucker of a country named Israel was born out of the conflict.
Except Israel.
They didn’t.
ILHAN OMAR WON A FUCKING ELECTION FFS .
The question is why Israel still puts up with our dumb schizo asses.
And the answer is: because they’re willing to take the high road.
First they have to tell them to stand down SEVERAL times before they can even fire.
Then they have to try to SHOOT THEM IN THE LEGS with nonlethal sand or gel rounds.
THEY GET IN TROUBLE IF ITS NOT IN THE LEGS
Its called cutting them a little fucking slack for fucks sake.
But forreal. How people with ‘Jew love’ treat Israel is the standard for how we should talk about ALL our allies.
Why aren’t we activey backing the Brexiteers from breaking away from the abusive as hell EU?
That’s our foreign policy.
And when you go about diplomacy with a swagger like that, then you are beholden to be tough to your friends, vicious to your enemies, and courteous as shit to the friends who have a proven history of not needing your help.
