There is an inexplicable level of difficulty in getting people to even consider the Israel problem, even among those who agree that the United States needs to stop spending the money it does in foreign aid and military intervention. They freeze up, shut down, or get defensive when Israel is mentioned. There is no greater example of American idolatry of Jews than the recent incident with Ilhan Omar. She has been disrespectful of America since taking an office whose primary responsibilities involve ensuring the well-being of Americans. She was disrespectful of America since her appointment to a committee who primary responsibilities involve ensuring positive outcomes for America in its dealings with the rest of the world. None of this was a problem, apparently. It wasn't until her supposed disrespect of Jews that action was taken against her.

It's one thing to help pay for an experimental anti missile system that you will also use, it's one thing to even lease land for your own military base and help cover the cost of joint exercises or pay for facilities you use.

It's another thing to just outright fund a foreign country's military regardless of how close an ally we are. It's retarded when we do it with Ukraine and it's retarded when we do it with Israel.

The only thing I could say would be a good idea is if we gave the Israelis loans. Not aid. Israel is one of the few governments that is actually quiet fiscally and monetarily sound. If we gave Israel loans for things, at least we could make some money off of it.

I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm actually talking about loans that they actually have to pay and shit.

Would they still be without all the aid?

Yes. The aid is a giant waste of American money that profits politicians and weapons manufacturers. Removing American aid just makes Israel have less free defense spending.

In fact, regular international aid impoverishes countries.

In all reality, Israel would probably benefit more by cutting foreign aid.

It's actually had significantly less inflation that we have in the US, and the US's inflation isn't nearly as bad as Europe.

Basically, it's doing about as well as you could hope for, with a Keynsian economic policy, while also being not directly tied to the Petro-Dollar.

The creation of Israel was the last dying act of the bankrupted British Empire, and the worst mistake it ever made.

To be fair, the soon-to-be-Israelis weren't giving us a great deal of choice in the matter.

Zionist terrorists were busy slaughtering as many Palestinians as they could get their hands on and there were 100,000 troops there trying - and failing - to keep a lid on things.

I think what eventually did for it was the complete unwillingness of either side to negotiate. The government of the day had no money to spend on what would turn into a generational conflict and, honestly, had we stayed, I'm not sure we still wouldn't be sending British soldiers over there to get killed by Zionist terrorists to this day.

Frankly the whole "Arab Israeli War" as a name isn't really appropriate. At a certain point it's kind of a Arab-Zionist, or an Arab-Jewish War, or just more honestly Arab-National-Leftist - Zionist-Leftist War

If I'm going to blame anything on anyone, I'm absolutely going to blame Zionist Progressive Nationalism being adopted internationally. Then I'm going to blame the international community for actually prolonging the conflict to apparently try and keep the Arabs from being completely routed. Then I'm going to blame the Arabs for losing that war so fucking hard.

You have, like, 7 states, backed by other international bodies, going up against what amounts to an insurgent group (thought a large & well funded one), and you still fucking lose a conventional war. Arab armies, bro.

I didn't report it. You should know better than to make up accusations.

Use nitter next time: twitter doesn't let non-account holders browse. Dumbo.

Constructive bullying is the best social corrector. Use nitter next time.

+1 for nitter but fwiw I've been able to browse twitter itself just fine ever since Musk's buyout went through.

After the buyout I could browse too for a while, but then the popup came back for me.

Go look at the original comment, there's a nitter link. I'm not sure how you managed to get to his response without catching it.

That's not the point. The point is that you should post the nitter link from the beginning in the future. Statistically, most will click the main link. Twitter doesn't let people browse and many don't want to give twitter any traffic. This issue has been discussed many times.

The "preview" function of this site works perfectly fine for me when viewing tweets. I tested it on several browsers and I'm not signed into Twitter.

If it's a video tweet, I'm going to do the most convenient thing for the majority of people and that's post the direct link so that they don't have to switch between this site and the other site to view the video and come back and comment/vote.

If you can't fix the issue on your end, just look for the Nitter link in the comments.

The tweet was deleted. Is there another place that the [I'm assuming] video is posted?

Damn. I found a tweet that has the same video:

https://nitter.nl/TahaTalhah/status/1560660561712463872

I don't know if archiving a tweet saves the video, but here's an archive link:

https://archive.is/wip/TvijQ

EDIT: If someone can archive the video, please do so. This video was probably taken down because it was reported.

Good job.

To anyone reading, make sure you have a oopy on your HD because Catbox deletes videos that haven't been accessed after a while.
