I'm sorry I can't hear you through my leprous horsefaced pig ears, that you think you're some scary anti-zionist thinker anyone gives a poo poo about rather than dumb rear end poo poo anti-semite is the real joke. You know nothing of the middle east or palestine as has been proven many times in both this thread and the middle east one, you should perhaps go back to post about topics you're well versed in, such as Zoe Queen cucking.

emanresu tnuocca posted:Political Critiques of Zionism: Those are at worst useless white noise posts, but not particularly antisemitic. They're also explicitly directed at the IDF rather than jews, so I don't know why you're so offended, tbqh. The second post was also during the Gaza siege, where a lot of posters said a lot more vitriolic things against the IDF. I think you're both valuable posters in these threads, for what it's worth.

You must be able to register that your comments can be interpreted racially in that context, and it's not bullshit to read them that way. But most of your comments seem pretty reasoned so I think most people just gave you the benefit of the doubt, I don't actually think they were meant racially.

I probably shouldn't have used flat out insults like that at all. especially since you're right I meant it specifically against the individuals and the IDF, not racially. but I will stand by the one during the Gaza Siege, because that was a crime against humanity happening and the sheer scummyness of selling women's images to promote the bombing of an open air prison got to me.

Administration Official Criticizes Israeli Ambassador Over Netanyahu Visitquote:WASHINGTON — The Obama administration, after days of mounting tension, signaled on Wednesday how angry it is with Israel that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted Republican leaders’ invitation to address Congress onIran without consulting the White House. Haha, so the Ambassador is a former Republican strategist who worked under Frank Luntz, and says he didn't bother notifying the white house in a multiple hour meeting because "Boehner was totes going to, why should I bother?"

Yes, at least hopefully. You basically have AIPAC being the defacto government of Isreal and these are the same idiots who masterminded a ton of foreign policy disasters in the past 15 years so it's pretty logical to think that they are going to overreach and shoot themselves in the foot.

It's not likely to earn them anything, but it's very unlikely to cost them much, either. There's basically nothing to gain politically from support Palestine in the US, while even Obama's lukewarm admonishment of ethnic cleansing and the bombing of a literal Warzaw Ghetto reenactment has caused some backlash.

He's a lame duck, Congress is going to be dominated by the opposition for the rest of his term, and the next President (even if the Dems win) is unlikely to be a member of Obama's inner circle. Israel has little to gain by keeping him happy and little to lose by openly disrespecting him. The Republican Congress can do more to help Israel than Obama can to hurt them, the next president won't inherit the poor relationship between the Obama administration and Netanyahu no matter what, and cozying up to Congress now could pay big dividends if the Republicans win the presidency and hold onto Congress in 2016.

This isn't true. Israel has been pretty much playing to the far far right wing in the US for years now and that's an old group of people who are dying off and if Israel is increasingly seen as a partisan far right political issue that could very badly come home to roost in the near future which would be terrible news for the current Isreali ruling class (but probably necessary in order for the country to still exist in 50 years...)

As long as US politicians continue to see AIPAC (rightly or wrongly) as kingmakers whose support is mandatory to have a chance of being elected, unconditional support of Israel will be the object of bipartisan consensus in the USA, no matter how callous the Likudniks allow themselves to be with US politicians in office. And given that the Likud is ideologically closer to the Republicans than to the Democrats, they'll probably continue to openly favor the GOP. Suppose Obama is succeeded by Hilary Clinton in 2016 -- I don't believe Israel would suffer from a loss of US support for having bet everything on the GOP horse.

I think you're dramatically overestimating how extreme "praise Israel, our steadfast non-Muslim ally in the Middle East" and "kill all the Arab terrorists, collateral damage be damned" are in the current political environment. I'd say that currently, Israel is only slightly right of center in the current political environment, with opposition to our support of Israel being confined mainly to the far left and the most devoted libertarians. While there's been friction between the Obama administration and the Israeli government, and closeness between the Rublican leaders and Israel, that hasn't really had much real effect on the overall political landscape.
