starting your explainer in 70 CE is like asking your mother how her day was and she spends 40 minutes describing the discoloration on the bathroom door frame she noticed this morning

I distinctly recall she was being a full-throated nazi during one of the previous massacres of Gaza. Protective Edge, maybe? Not sure.

remember when Omar got called anti-semetic for making a quip about apaic support being "all about the Benjamins?" because they claimed she meant bibi not 100s (which still I don't get now the double entendre is anti Semitic but when all you have is a hammer)

so my partner asked me to lay it all out for her last night to help her understand what's going on, and I did starting around 70 CE, disapora, pograms, blood libel, jumping forward to the end of the Ottoman Empire, British Mandate, UN Mandate, Israeli State, Nakba, etc, etc. I tried to be somewhat even handed but disclaimed that I obviously had biases and blind spots and furthermore DTI

She was attentive, asking questions, I was doing my best with my own limited understanding of a complicated subject but she asked a cogent question: "why are we supporting them?"

like... historically I could answer with the whole Nixon picking some regional powers to back in the cold war and all that, but now in this moment it just seems like a sunk cost fallacy. I was stuck on something i heard about realpolitik that i forget the attibution for "countries don't have permanent allies, only permanent interests." what the gently caress are we (the US) getting from Israel that's worth risking potentially global conflict, an oil embargo, shitcanning detente with the arab world, etc etc etc?

israel is a means to manipulate oil markets, but it's also $4B in guaranteed sales for weapons manufacturers per year. so the oil companies and the weapons manufacturers have incentives to protect israel because every time israel does something psychotic those oil and weapons manufacturers get a lot of money, so those companies bribe the western governments towards that end.
simultaneously, aipac moves a lot of bribe money around to the extent that they have veto power over which politicians are allowed to win primaries and elections in addition to directly bribing and blackmailing politicians.
so there's a whole interlocking network of bribes related to israel, and if the west stopped supporting israel they'd have to make a new network of bribes in other countries. which they've done, of course. but if they cut off israel they'd lose that money, so why should they if the only cost is human misery? that is an externality

Look what happened to the baby story. It's been like a week and we've gone from "the president said he saw 40 beheaded babies, you think you know more than the president?" to "okay some wires got crossed but 40 babies totally died so why do you need them to be all in the same place and beheaded, that's so weird, why did you come up with that just now." Now we get to explore "oh my god okay so the good guys bombed one hospital, who cares when the bad guys bombed like ten more of their own things today so they could blame it on israel"

We all saw this happen with the Ukraine War. Snake Island, Ghost of Kiev, “Battle” of Kiev, the missile that hit Poland.
