      As should you, if you are either American, Israeli or Iranian.

      Every bullet is money that could have been spent at home on better things for all three countries.

        If my options are this or more Total Boomer Luxury Communism (which they are), then bombs away.

          Clearly, you should go back to Reddit (and stay there).

      Their entire raison d'être is "We unite because we're being attacked". If there's no attack there's no purpose [to receive US money].

        If Israel doesn’t fulfill its quota of killing Palestinian children then who will!!!???

    • simmerup 9 hours ago ago

      You're literally trying to excuse genocide. ‘Every last man, woman and child’.

      Keep the mask off

      • JasonADrury 9 hours ago ago

        Excuse it? No, I'll excuse people wishing it. Certainly any attack on Israeli civilians is despicable and generally counterproductive.

        • popalchemist 9 hours ago ago

          Ah, yes, the old totally relatable universal human emotion of genocidal bloodlust.

          Right. You've exposed yourself as a horrible human.

          • JasonADrury 9 hours ago ago

            If you ask people in Palestine living under brutal Israeli aggression for decades, you will find that most of them share that emotion of genocidal bloodlust.

            If you ask people in Israel about Palestinians, you'll find that a huge chunk of them share that emotion of genocidal bloodlust.

            It's an extremely human reaction. Something hurts you, doesn't really matter what it is. You'll want to get rid of it.

            • popalchemist 9 hours ago ago

              I think you're universalizing your own lack of character.

              Most people do not extrapolate from "this person hurt me" to "I want to eradicate every man woman and child of that person's ethnic group."

              You're insane.

              • JasonADrury 9 hours ago ago

                What you're proposing would absolutely be insane, we're in complete agreement about that.

                However, it's an absurd misrepresentation of my position, and the fact that you have to resort to it proves the futility of your position.

                It's not "this person hurt me", it's "this group of people hurt me".

      But thank god for good people like you doing their best to de-escalate things

      • JasonADrury 9 hours ago ago

        At this point a good solution for de-escalation would be the voluntary relocation of Israeli citizens, as has been proposed by the Israeli government for citizens of other nations.

        Given that Israelis are by far the least liked group in the region, why shouldn't they be the ones relocating? Instead of say, the Palestinians?

        • weatherlite 9 hours ago ago

          OK, I"m down. Please write your congress member about this, there's around 10 millions of us so it's gonna be quite an operation.

          • JasonADrury 9 hours ago ago

            Pretty sure Trump would be more than glad to deliver you to the promised land of Florida, or something. It's probably enough to just write the US embassy and ask them to arrange Aliyah to Palm Beach.

            • weatherlite 9 hours ago ago

              Nope, its not enough to write the US embassy they wouldn't hand me over a visa definitely not anything permanent (which seems to be your idea right ? you're talking about permanently 'relocating' the Israelis). Any other ideas ?

              • JasonADrury 9 hours ago ago

                I literally just asked ChatGPT and it says very explicitly that Mike Huckabee will fly you to the US on his personal jet and hand you a green card if you just show him that you've been circumcised and promise to do a little proselytizing.

                • weatherlite 9 hours ago ago

                  Ah that's great news especially since your mom prefers circumcised! Though she has become less picky as she's aged.

                  • JasonADrury 9 hours ago ago

                    She did marry a jew who eventually fathered me, so yeah. I would at least assume it wasn't a problem for her.

                    The reality is that jews elsewhere on the planet also have to pay the price for what you guys do.

      "Zogslave?"

      I've noticed that people online love to say that antizionism isn't antisemitism, but they themselves can't seem to tell the difference.

      • ywhsrbsgn 8 hours ago ago

        It stands for Zionist Occupied Government. Explain to me again how it's antisemitic to be mad that the Israeli government has footage of the US president raping children, and how Netanyahu is using it as blackmail to force an invasion of Iran that 80% of Americans are opposed to.

        • noku 8 hours ago ago

          ZOG is a slur invented and used primarily by American neo-Nazis. It references the idea that Jews (historically American, not Israeli) control the US government.

          It's hard to imagine how a non-Jew would even pick up this language without spending a whole lot of time in antisemitic spaces.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionist_Occupation_Government_...

          • ywhsrbsgn 8 hours ago ago

            Cope harder, obvious Hasbara sockpuppet. I don't give a shit. If there's documented evidence of you being blackmailed by the Israeli government, and then you go on to invade Iran when literally everyone is telling you not to, including your own generals, then I have every right to call you a zogslave.

            EDIT (since noku is completely rewriting his comment): Look at noku's account and how it was made in 2022 with nearly no activity until now. It's obviously a state-sponsored sockpuppet. Imagine implying that the Israeli-led Epstein blackmail ring is just a conspiracy theory.

    • JasonADrury 9 hours ago ago

      >I'm donating to Thomas Massie to put an end to this foreign commandeering of our government.

      Surely it's more important to donate to others like Massie, no?

      • ywhsrbsgn 9 hours ago ago

        There are surprisingly few US politicians and that aren't totally subservient to Israel. Also, Massie has largely been leading the charge on the Epstein files.

      Are you currently in Israel or Iran ? Something tells me you're not in any immediate danger from this.

      • JasonADrury 9 hours ago ago

        He might be a member of the US military?

        • weatherlite 9 hours ago ago

          I find it quite unlikely in the midst of what the U.S military needs to do now a soldier would take the time to vent on HN. But sure, if that is the case I guess he earned the right to vent; still slim (borderline zero) chances of him dying even if he is U.S military.

          • JasonADrury 9 hours ago ago

            People who were actively told that they wouldn't be deployed ended up being deployed in very recent history, they could be sitting at home reasonably worried about that.

            Perhaps they're a national guardsman, for example?
