When they say post war plan, what they actually mean is “Uhh, you have plans to keep the other savages in line once this is done, right? You know you’ve just kicked the Hornet’s nest, so please please please tell me you’re not just making this up as you’re going along…right? Because that would be really, really BAD FOR EVERYBODY if you were.”

I would argue that the president IS countermanding an entire nation. He’s just doing it favor of US policy towards Israel because it’s a project he’s been personally invested in for over forty years.

i see a future where due to the simple realities of climate change and the finite amount of oil in the middle east eventually the US's need for israel will wane and our support will atrophy. or maybe this future moment is beyond the nations natural event horizon.

an interesting position. i dont know where the average american falls on this, nor do i know if it possible to ascertain. there has been so much propaganda for so long i am not sure we can assign individual agency to poll respondents on this matter.

i guess, applying a montesquieuian "spirit" to a virginal american polity, we would be against this occupation. we did of course take up arms in a revolutionary struggle against a settler colonial oppressor. but thats utopian thinking.

another question i have is how important is israel to the american imperial project? if we are to assume all this cruelty to the palestinian people is known and understood by the "real dead-eyed operators" behind the scenes, are they correct in their course of action? is funding (and possibly perpetuating themselves) this genocide "worth it" to the american geopolitical position? devoid or morals or conceptions of justice.

Lot of people emphasize American Evangelism in our support for Israel, but this country is antisemitic as hell, we don't care about religion. I think it has more to do with the World War II mythos, that Israel is "proof" we emancipated the camps and did war justly, thus justifying every venture since. To surrender that mythos by allowing for a reform of the region is to surrender the myth of American exceptionalism. All conservative evangelism is ultimately civil religion once baked down to basics.
