    what a complete load of BS. How is stealing land from Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and the West bank in Americas interests? How is getting the entire Middle East angry at us worth any of that? You are just another zionist trying to blame Israels terrorism on Americans.

      Okay so for starters I am not a Zionist and that’s not an accusation that should be made lightly in 2026. That aside,

      How is stealing land from Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and the West bank in Americas interests?

      It’s probably not; that’s the price of their cooperation. It’s the more or less self-sustaining forward base and intelligence gathering machine in the region that’s in America’s interests. There needs to be an effective stick to keep all the US vassals in line.

        For starters, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

        And what proof do you have that the US is the one with vassals? Who has benefitted from all this conflict for 80 years? How many operational US military bases are there in Israel, vs in that region but outside Israel?
