can someone explain to me why we give billions of dollars of aid to palestine while also making sure its citizens are bombed and slaughtered as mercilessly as possible?

thanks in advance

because the Palestinian Authority are collaborators with Israel, so it's actually advantageous to Israel to prop them up. if the PA fell, the West Bank would just end up under the control of Hamas or Islamic Jihad instead, and the settlements are very intermingled with Palestinian villages

israel puts a lot of pressure on the PA to keep them weak and compliant, but they don't actually want the PA gone* - it plays a critical role in suppressing other Palestinian movements that are more confrontational toward Israel

*note that this clashes with the official political rhetoric, which presents the PA as Nazis 2.0 for racist reasons. it's hard to tell how many people are trumpeting the rhetoric as rhetoric and how many people actually believe it

america is currently falling apart because it started electing a lot of the people who actually believed in the bad faith propaganda instead of realizing it was a con so I can't wait for this to also happen in Israel

I guess it's technically true in the sense that they're not slaughtering each other, and that the slaughter only goes one way.

well, they're bribing the israelis to not unilaterally slaughter the palestinians, and giving aid to the palestinians so their lives aren't so horrific that they do another intifada and waste all the bribe money sent to israel.

no, they're bribing the Israelis to keep buying US tanks and missiles to slaughter the Palestinians with, and they're propping up a corrupt Palestinian dictator to prevent the Palestinians from mounting an effective unified resistance

the US is both bribing Israel and subsidizing it's own military industrial complex. US funds pay for a majority of the iron dome system, without which Israel would probably invade Gaza to stop the rocket attacks, which would inevitably lead to more Palestinian deaths.

"stop the rocket attacks"

lol stfu you're actually stupid enough to say that america is actively preventing palestinians deaths? Israel will implode if they change strategy from the long term genocide of palestinians to anything more overt. The IDF is a shell of what it was, see Southern Lebanon circa 2006. Turns out just killing civilians for years has a real effect on the war preparedness of a standing army.

america wants stability in the middle east because oil is very important to the US economy. it doesn't want a repeat of the oil crisis. preventing palestinian deaths is a a means to an end for america to prevent more wars that could lead to more oil embargoes.

And is it bad? Lots of first world countries have participated in eugenics, and they did it for practical purposes. In Israel's case it was deemed necessary because culturally Ethiopians believed that having lots of kids was good, even if you couldn't support them. This belief is incompatible with Israel's desire to be a first world country. One could argue that teaching kids from a young age that it's bad to have kids that you can't support is a form of eugenics.

israel has invaded gaza three times over the last decade and it's done precisely fuckall to stop the rocket attacks

the point of iron dome is to reduce the political cost (in terms of Israeli civilian casualties) of oppressing Gaza

and the US doesn't give a poo poo how many Gazans get blown up by Israeli bombers as long as they keep spending money on US arms

no, but they like that the jews are self-segregating themselves, and they respect their military capabilities now. so they tolerate their existence as long as they stay on their own side of the fence.

it depends, as modern neo-Nazis are by no means a unified force

generally, neo-Nazis are still anti-Semitic, but regard Muslims and Arabs as a far bigger threat.

also, remember that anti-Semitism doesn't necessarily mean being anti-Israel. neo-Nazis are typically more concerned with ethnically cleansing their own country than with genociding all non-whites worldwide, and therefore the existence of Israel is rather convenient for them. also, they often admire Israel's blatant ethnostate and rising fascism, and wish that their own country was as dedicated to racism as Israel is
