Republican and moderate Dem politicians support the genocide, because Israel pays some people to support them, and pays for the campaigns of some people who already support them.
The American people largely dont support Israel’s actions, we just don’t get a say in our government anymore thanks to money in politics and primaries not being binding elections and open to manipulation.
Oh for fuck’s sake…
Specifically with Hezbollah, right? Not a broader war with Lebannon, right?
Jfc. U.S. is determined to keep warring for profit.
It’s been so profitable for nearly a hundred years, why stop now?
A hundred years? All of human history more like.
War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

Smedley Butler wrote that in 1935.
You’re not wrong. But this is our tax payer money being flushed down the toilet to make war profiteering companies more money. I guess go buy some military contractor stocks since it doesn’t look like we have any representatives that can actually stop this bullet train to WWIII.
Uhh, Hezbollah is unequivocally the bad guys in that potential conflict. Doesn’t make Israel the good guys, mind you…
Huh? How so? Hezbollah, like everyone else actually doing something, want Israel to stop genociding Gaza.
