there is still a small but definitely-extant Marxist presence in the Palestinian liberation movement, with a couple of communist organizations still maintaining their own military wings with the ability to participate in actions

they don't seem to be very large in absolute numbers and seem to limit their activity mostly to launching rockets in support of the operations of other, larger groups, but they weren't completely wiped out

part one, they're a longtime regional proxy going back to cold war days, so they're up to their eyeballs in all the usual military/industrial complex "we can't ever stop giving them aid, because if we stopped giving them aid Lockheed Martin's stock price might drop for a quarter second."

part two, there's a bunch of weird evangelical bullshit about how Israel has to be around for the end of days to happen, which the Israel lobby has gleefully made use of for a very long time for inroads among Republicans.

part three, not to put too fine a point on it, New York and Los Angeles are both Democratic as hell and Jewish as hell. meaning there's an awful lot of very powerful Democrats who have spent the past sixty or so years knowing that if they take a position less than unconditional support for Israel they'll be dealing with a primary from someone who will.

part four, the war on terror let them pivot into "we are your eternal allies in the war against the Muslim world," which was great for them while it looked like we were winning, and has left them in a bit of an awkward position now that we have admitted that was a total bust.

some of the reason Israel is going off crazier than usual is that over the last fifteen years American Jews have gone from unconditionally supporting Israel to being a lot more lukewarm on the subject. this has taken support for Israel from "absolutely mandatory" to "you can get away with saying sometimes they do bad things" in Democratic circles. all the military/industrial complex ties and a very well-funded Israel lobby are enough to keep Democrats firmly supportive of them, but as the continued existence of Ilhan Omar demonstrates, it is now possible to not say they get a blank check for everything forever.

Americans support Israel because Israel is the American frontier and Palestinians are the Indians who need to be moved to smaller and smaller reservations and every American understands this relationship in their bones.

shifted the weight on the boot for a moment and are unpleasantly surprised the guy stood up

evidently almost all of the IDF is currently loving around in the West Bank protecting settlers doing poo poo over there, out of the assumption nothing was coming out of Gaza any time soon

As one of the last surviving settler states in Asia, Israel is a laboratory of colonialism for the First World. They're constantly innovating new research and technologies to repress an unruly class of wretched surplus. The police in the United States are trained and armed by Israel.

There is also just a large chunk of Indians who for lack of a better word are cucked by colonialism and still believe in white supremacy/colonial mindset, as they represent the top of the top of the caste system. You will seem them become shock/foot troops for whatever white supremacist/global north society will exist during climate collapse, just so they can have an approximate closeness to whiteness.

Also, guess Israel is bulldozing that police station:

Israel will never bomb their own residential areas, so they may not actually need to "fortify." Turning Israeli settlements into war zones is already a massive defensive advantage. The attack achieved such a massive surprise that people couldn't escape their own homes. If the IDF starts blasting away at suburban Israel, it'll be a political disaster.

allegedly they are willing to break out the bulldozers in settlements already

I'm in one of those "I've waited too long and now I'm afraid to ask" situations. Can someone explain why exactly the US is so far up the rear end of Israel and defends and supports all their bullshit so uniformly and in lockstep? I have my theories and things I've heard but none of it seems to add up to the sheer brick wall of support for Israel from the US government.

israel is a breakaway white supremacist settler state in land the europeans would very much like to be in control of, in the same way the united states was for north america

Indian nationalists and communists were disproportionately from the upper castes lmao. These people posting this are right wing indians who specifically wanted to trade out the british colonial yoke for the american neocolonial one. A lot of them just have their brains warped by their thought leaders who move to the united states and import some form of american culture war back home. You will see a lot of epic indian capitalists on x dot com while in real life liberal and leftist organizations help workers as part of building political power.

What got the indian bourgeoisie mad was post 2008 the indian government reverted to more state control of the economy and began investing in making more SEOs that would compete with private businesses. Hell the UPA governments were overthrown due to anticorruption protests the same as Lula's government.
