    That is plain copium. Every political scientist worth their salt has said American support is essential to the modern Israeli state. America has been bombing Yemen, defending Israel diplomatically from the wider world and their neighbors and giving them billions of dollars. All naturalization treaties between Israel and its neighbors wouldn’t have been possible or sustainable without American support.

      American support is essential to the Israeli state, in response to aggression from Iran and other sources which is why we continue to provide it, it’s NOT essential to the genocide, which Israel is fully capable and willing to commit with their own resources.

        Responding to multiple unprovoked acts of war from Israel is not aggression.

        Bombing a countries embassy in a third party nation is an act of war.

        Assassinating a visiting ambassador in Iran’s capital is an act of war.

        The only reason Iran didn’t respond to the first is because the US promised them a peace deal.

        Edit:

        No, they can’t, because they aren’t engaging in the genocide and Israel doesn’t need our help to commit it.

        American support is essential to the Israeli state, in response to aggression from Iran and other sources which is why we continue to provide it, it’s NOT essential to the genocide, which Israel is fully capable and willing to commit with their own resources.

        Which is it? Are they committing a genocide or not?
