[Hillel Fuld @HilzFuld]

Oh boy, is this gonna piss off a lot of people. But here’s the thing: That’s exactly the point of what I’m about to write.

I’m going to try to explain why Jews and Zionists (same thing) live rent-free in so many people’s heads.

I am going to explain why Jews piss off so many people now and throughout history.

It’s a question Jews have been asking themselves for thousands of years.

“Why do they hate us? After all, we’ve done more for the good of humanity than any other group, and we contribute good disproportionately to our microscopic size. So what is it?”

Again, a question so many Jews have asked throughout the generations.

Here are some explanations you’ll hear and why they’re simply false.

* “They hate us because we control everything.”

Well, that’s clearly not true. If we controlled everything, why are we the victims of such a high percentage of hate crimes? Why are the media and organizations like the UN so anti-Israel? If we controlled everything, wouldn’t that be the first thing we’d get rid of—the anti-Jewish bias?

* “They hate us because of Israel.”

Well, that’s clearly not true because there was no Israel during the Holocaust, so why did they hate us then? Why did Arabs massacre Jews in 1929 before there was even a modern State of Israel?

* “They hate us because we are white colonialists.”

Well, that’s clearly not true because in the Holocaust, “We weren’t white enough.”

* “They hate us out of jealousy because we are rich and successful.”

Well, that’s clearly not true because they hated us throughout the generations, even when we weren’t that successful.

* “They hate us because we integrate into their society and try to influence everything.”

Well, that’s clearly not true because they hated us when we maintained our Jewish identity and did not integrate. They called us parasites.

Listen, we can go on and on with this list. When it comes to Jew-hatred, they’ve found every excuse in the book. In fact, their excuse for hating Jews changes every time.

This time, they’re calling it anti-Zionism.

Before we get to the real explanation, I’ll remind you that the vast majority of Jews believe they belong in their homeland, especially after everything we’ve endured.

In other words, most Jews are Zionists. If you’re anti-Zion, aka Jerusalem, you are against the Jews having a safe haven—one state of their own in a world with tens of Muslim states and countless Christian states. If you’re against that, you’re against Jews.

Besides, if it was Zionists they were after, why are random Jews being attacked everywhere in the West? Unless it is safe for those attackers to assume that all Jews are Zionists, in which case, “Anti-Zionist = Anti-Jew.”

You can’t have it both ways. Are Jews Zionists by default, or is there a difference between Zionists and Jews?

OK, now to the real explanation.

If you make a list of accusations thrown at the Jews, now and throughout history, you’ll notice something very interesting, and that is that in almost all cases, the ones doing the accusing are actually guilty of that exact thing.

Every accusation against Israel and the Jews is an admission of guilt by those pointing a finger at the Jews.

Think about it. Take any accusation. Literally anything.

* Genocide: The Jews are guilty of genocide? That’s cute. Want to know who is guilty of genocide? Hamas is. The Nazis were. Every empire that came after the Jews, all the way back to ancient Egypt, when there was a decree to throw all Jewish male babies into the Nile. Israel’s enemies are the ones guilty of genocide.
* Apartheid: Israel is guilty of apartheid? That’s actually hilarious. There are millions of Arabs and Christians living in Israel with more rights than they have in their own countries. But it goes deeper than that. Want to know what apartheid looks like? Check out Israel’s enemies, the most obvious one being South Africa. South Africa accusing Israel of apartheid is actually hilarious. But it’s not only them. Want to know what will happen if I, as a Jew, enter a Muslim country or a Muslim town in Judea and Samaria? Well, assuming I’d even be able to get in somehow, I’d be lynched immediately. Each Arab town in Judea and Samaria has a sign by the entrance that basically says, “No Jews allowed.” That is apartheid.
* Ethnic cleansing: Israel is guilty of ethnic cleansing? Again, cute. Remind me, please, how many Jews lived in Muslim countries like Yemen, Iraq, Iran, and so many others, and remind me how many live there now? That is ethnic cleansing.
* Indiscriminate killing? Israel is guilty of that? Funny. Do I need to remind you what Hamas did on 10/7? That is indiscriminate killing, and anyone who doesn’t support Israel now supports that.
* Sex crimes? Again, comical. We know exactly what Hamas did to our women on 10/7 because they live-streamed it. We also know that the Nazis, among many other things, were depraved perverts. Israel’s enemies are the ones guilty of sex crimes.
* Baby killers? Right. Now go watch the footage from 10/7, and you’ll see what baby killers are. The same is true for all of Israel’s enemies throughout the generations, again, all the way back to ancient Egypt.
* White colonialists? I can’t help but laugh. In the Holocaust, we weren’t white enough for Hitler. Also, Israel colonizes? Israel is the size of New Jersey in a sea of Arab states that were indeed colonized. That is colonization. In fact, take a look at the countries that are the most vocally anti-Israel and notice how they all stole land and colonized. That is colonialism.
* The Jews are evil. Judaism is evil. The Talmud is evil. LOL. Go read the Quran if you want to know what evil looks like.
* Pedos? Yes, they accuse us of that too. Remind me how old Muhammad’s wife was? Remind me how many priests have been caught abusing kids? Remind me what Hamas did to kids on 10/7? That is pedophilia.
* Jewish terrorists and violent settlers? Yeah, sure, it is Judaism that is the issue, not radical Islam, which is responsible for millions of deaths globally and well over 90% of global terror. Right. Want to know what terrorism looks like? Check out radical Islam. When a Jew says “Baruch Hashem,” you smile. When a Christian says “Praise the Lord,” you say Amen. When a Muslim says “Allahu Akbar,” you better run. THAT is a religion that supports terrorism.

Listen, the list is long, but here’s the rule: Anything the antisemites blame the Jews for is exactly what they are guilty of.

So, now that we see that, it all makes sense.

I believe psychologists would call it projection.

I call it a mirror.

The Jewish people provide a mirror to the most immoral people throughout history.

When they look at the Jewish people, they see a people that emphasizes things like the family unit, education, charity, and kindness—things that have become all but taboo in modern societies.

When they see a nation that cares so deeply about human life, a nation that teaches “Thou Shall Not Murder,” and then they look at themselves, that pisses them off.

No immoral person wants to be reminded just how immoral they are. The Jews are that reminder.

While countries fail and turn into chaos, they look at Israel and the incredible, unparalleled success of this tiny country, and that pisses them off. They are reminded what a failure they are.

When a person fails to succeed in life, they look at the Jew who is successful, and that pisses them off.

When they look at the depraved society they’ve built, a society in which sex and all things related to sex have become immoral, they are reminded how Judaism sanctifies the commandment of reproduction, and that pisses them off.

Whatever they accuse the Jews of is not only an admission of guilt, but it is also something they are deeply ashamed of, and the Jews just provide a mirror that they are forced to look at, which reminds them how morally bankrupt they are.

Literally anything they accuse the Jews of is something they are guilty of but don’t want to admit to themselves or others.

Why is Europe so obsessed with Israel? Why do they accuse Israel of genocide, racism, and indiscriminate killing? Um, open a history book and learn about Europe pre-Holocaust.

They are ashamed, as they should be, so instead of facing their own crimes, they project them onto the Jews so they can calm their conscience.

The Arab world knows full well how it kicked Jews out of their lands. They know full well how racist they are and how they want to destroy the West.

They know full well how they’ve brought sexual perversion to the West. They know full well how all of their leaders, now and throughout history, were perverts, but instead of owning it, they deflect and blame the Jews for the exact thing they’re guilty of.

The Jews are a mirror that reminds them how immoral they are.

The liberal left today pretends to turn sexual perversion into a value, an ideal, and deep down they know how sick it is to bring drag queens into kindergartens so they can twerk in front of the kids. But instead of facing their own deviancy, they try to project that onto the Jews.

The Jews are a mirror and remind them how broken their moral compass is.

This is the reason for antisemitism throughout the generations. If you open a history book and look at the empires that came after the Jews, you’ll notice one thing in common: They first threw morality out the window.

When you put people in the Colosseum to fight to the death for the emperor’s entertainment, you know deep down how immoral you’ve become. Then you need to cope with it somehow, and pointing a finger at someone who has not adopted your sick ways is a lot easier than admitting to yourself that you’re indeed sick.

Why is the world so obsessed with the narrative that Israel somehow stole land and kicked the natives out? Gee, I wonder. Remind me how all of those countries came into existence? Yes, that’s right. They stole land and kicked the natives out, sometimes massacring them.

Those countries can either confront their own evil ways, or they can just point a finger at this tiny nation that has done nothing but settle in its own eternal homeland.

When a country so blatantly adopts false narratives, instead of facing its own shame, it accuses Israel and the Jewish people, who have a clear prohibition against lying.

It’s actually amazing to see this. Literally make a list of things the Jews have been accused of in the past and are accused of in the present, and you’ll find that 100% of them are things committed by the accusers, who are ashamed of their own behavior, as they should be.

Hearing Germany accuse Israel of genocide, South Africa accuse Israel of apartheid, Turkey accuse Israel of indiscriminate killing, Iran accuse Israel of extremism, the UK accuse Israel of colonialism, and France accuse Israel of racism, you can’t help but laugh.

After you finish laughing, ask yourself why these countries spend so much time obsessing over Israel and accusing Israel of the exact thing they are guilty of.

How do you explain it? The answer is projection.

The last thing they want to do is look in the mirror, and the Jews are exactly that: a mirror.

When you are as ugly as the history of these countries is, the last thing you want to do is look in the mirror.

The last thing you want is a nation that is a constant reminder of how sick your society has become.

And by the way, it’s not only morality that Israel shows the world; it’s also strength.

When a politician or a country realizes how weak they are, they don’t want to be reminded how strong Israel is.

When a country fights a war in the most immoral way, when it kills millions of innocent people, do you think it wants to be reminded how Israel sends aid into Gaza or vaccinates Gazans? That’ll just remind them how immoral they are, so they flip the script and accuse Israel of the very behavior that they themselves are ashamed of.

When a country sees how its youth isn’t building the future—they’re not getting married, they’re not having kids—do you think it wants to be reminded of a country that has both a high GDP and a high birth rate? It just reminds them of their failure.

When a country is plagued with mass depression, you think it wants to be reminded how happy Israelis are?

When the Arab world realizes how little they’ve contributed to society (hijacking planes and using kids as human shields doesn’t constitute a contribution) and then looks at Israel and everything this tiny country has done to improve the world, that infuriates them, so they come after the source of their own shame and anger.

When the west realizes that their countries are plagued with racism and discrimination, instead of acknowledging it and dealing with it, they just take the easy road and blame Israel of exactly that.

So that’s it. That’s the secret of Jew-hatred. The more immoral a country becomes, the more unsuccessful an empire becomes, the faster Jew-hatred shows its face, because all the Jews are to these people is one gigantic mirror that they are forced to look into every hour of every day, and they hate that.

As they should!

Well, to all of those nations, I have bad news.

The Jews are not going anywhere.

Israel is not going anywhere, this mirror of morality is not going anywhere.

So either get your stuff together, fix your own societies, address your own failures, or be prepared to continue looking into the mirror that is the greatest nation the world has ever known, the Jewish nation.

@CarolineGlick Congratulations!!!

Periodista Caroline Glick acusó a Gran Bretaña, Francia y Canadá de hipocresía.
La periodista y comentarista israelí-estadounidense Caroline Glick publicó una declaración dirigida a los gobiernos del Reino Unido, Francia y Canadá.
Aquí está su declaración completa:
“Codiciosos hipócritas santurrones.
¡Cómo se atreven a amenazar al único Estado judío en la Tierra —después de todo lo que sus naciones nos hicieron!
¡Se atreven a hablar de ‘valores humanitarios’ mientras están de pie sobre pilas de huesos judíos que sus ancestros enterraron bajo adoquines, catedrales y las cartas de ‘naciones civilizadas’?!
Gran Bretaña.
Oh, Gran Bretaña.
El imperio que dividió Oriente Medio con un lápiz y un gin-tonic.
Emitieron la Declaración Balfour y luego cerraron la puerta a los refugiados judíos que huían de los nazis.
Entregaron trozos de tierra judía a monarcas árabes y dejaron que los judíos murieran en el Holocausto antes que dejarlos entrar en su precioso Mandato.
Internaron a sobrevivientes del Holocausto en Chipre como si fueran criminales.
¿Y ahora les agitan el dedo colonial a los judíos por construir hogares en nuestras colinas ancestrales?
Métanse su hipocresía real de vuelta en el Palacio de Buckingham y lidien con su propia sociedad que se está derrumbando —donde el crimen con cuchillo, el antisemitismo y el extremismo islámico son más comunes que el pescado con papas fritas.
Francia.
Liberté, égalité, fraternité —a menos que seas judío.
Deportaron a más de 75.000 judíos a su muerte durante el Holocausto con la plena cooperación del régimen de Vichy. Los dejaron meter en vagones de ganado desde el Vél d’Hiv mientras los parisinos miraban.
¿Y después de la guerra?
Ninguna justicia.
Ningún ajuste de cuentas.
Solo décadas de indiferencia y palabras vacías.
Hoy los judíos son apuñalados en las calles de Francia, las sinagogas están bajo guardia militar, ¿y ustedes todavía tienen el descaro de darnos lecciones sobre moralidad?
No pudieron proteger su propia república de una furgoneta llena de yihadistas, ¿pero ahora quieren dictarle a Israel cómo debe defenderse contra terroristas genocidas?
Están en bancarrota moral y colapsando culturalmente.
Canadá.
Oh, Canadá —el primo frío, engreído y sin espina dorsal de Estados Unidos.
Su ‘superioridad moral’ es una colina cubierta de nieve de mentiras.
Cerraron la puerta a los refugiados judíos durante el Holocausto.
El barco St. Louis suplicó su misericordia.
Los enviaron de vuelta —a morir.
‘Ninguno es demasiado,’ dijeron sus funcionarios.
Ese es su legado.
Hoy sus políticos posan para fotos en mezquitas que glorifican a mártires mientras condenan a Israel por luchar contra asesinos.
Han convertido sus universidades en clubes de fans de Hamás y su parlamento en un circo de virtud.
Abandonaron a los judíos cuando éramos apátridas, ¿y ahora quieren castigarnos por defender nuestro Estado?!
Aquí está nuestra respuesta.
No somos los judíos apátridas de 1942.
Somos el pueblo soberano de Israel —armado, consciente e impenitente.
Sus sanciones son una broma.
Sus amenazas no significan nada.
Sus lecciones morales son basura.
No necesitamos su permiso para vivir.
No necesitamos su aprobación para luchar.
No vamos a irnos a ninguna parte.

Famous historical libels against the Jews:

1290 - Jews desecrated communion wafers.
1348 - Jews poisoned wells.
1903 - The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
2026 - The Jews committed genocide in Gaza.

[Edward De Lavigne @EdwardDeLavigne]

The Irish pro “Palestine” movement or “Paddystinians” as they refer to themselves, are Jew haters with a saviour complex, they are fake humanitarians.

Sudan, Yemen and Somalia are the world’s worst humanitarian crises.

They have never marched for the children starving in Yemen, or the half a million people who have been killed there.

They don’t care about the ongoing real genocide in Sudan, where the Islamist Janjaweed militia have murdered more than 150,000 people and displaced more than 14 million since 2023, nor have they ever held a sign against the slaughter in Syria or the 40,000 people murdered by the Islamic regime in Iran last January.

They don’t care about the fact that the Chinese communist government have sent over 1 million Uyghurs to concentration camps over the past decade, they don’t care about that because it’s the Chinese communist government doing it, not the Jews, and they probably don’t even know what the Somalian flag looks like.

And let me tell you somthing else about the Irish pro “Palestine” movement or “Paddystinians” as they refer to themselves, they don’t actually care about the Arabs who call themselves “Palestinians” either, Gaza shares a direct border with Egypt, but they have never demanded that Egypt open its border to help Gazans flee from the fallout of the war they started when they invaded Israel in 2023 for the sake of Jihad.

And in Lebanon, the Arabs who call themselves “Palestinians” live under actual apartheid, they cannot own land, they can not become doctors and they are legally barred from working in over 30 professions.

But the Irish pro “Palestine” movement or “Paddystinians” as they refer to themselves, won’t say a word about it, they probably don’t even know.

It’s very simple, if the Irish pro “Palestine” movement or “Paddystinians” as they refer to themselves can’t blame Israel and they can’t blame the Jews, then they just don’t care. The truth is that they only care about themselves and their own image (which is in fact ugly).

They think that by standing against Israel, they put themselves on some moral high ground, but their “superiority complex” is just an old disease called Jew hatred.

[Kostas Moros @MorosKostas]

While I can totally understand the "it's not America's problem" people, I will never understand the pro-Palestine people.

- Gaza's government (Hamas) started this war with a mass slaughter of over a thousand mostly civilians.

- Hamas's government's charter calls for the extermination of Israel. Genocide is actually their official policy, but Israel gets accused of it?

- Hamas refuses to cede power, and Israel obviously can't tolerate the risk of more October 7ths. No country would.

- Would be nice to get the innocent civilians out of there. But other Arab countries won't take them! They only care about their "Muslim brothers" to the extent they can use their lives to bash Israel. And that is confirmed by the fact that there is no similar outrage when Muslim nations commit atrocities against each other. It's just a way to bash the Jews I think, similar to BLM only caring about one very rare kind of violence against black people.

Obviously no one wants to see innocent children bombed, it's awful. But that's true of every war, yet only Israel gets condemnation and conspiracism for refusing to stop short of victory in a war it didn't start.

A "free Palestine" = Israeli extermination. Until that changes and they want real coexistence with Israel, there can't be peace for those in Gaza.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills watching Hamas win the PR war.

Anyway, I felt like kicking the hornet's nest I guess.

[Tyler @cillianblack]

Yes. Woke ideology. Muslims are framed as an oppressed group and therefore presumed to be victims deserving sympathy ... even if they're raping children, flying planes into buildings, throwing gays off roofs, and beheading humanitarian aid workers.

This is why I keep saying the key to understanding the backwards logic of woke ideology is to understand the Marxist oppressed-oppressor binary and how the left apply it to identity. If you can grasp that, it's a cheat code for unlocking the entire ideology.

[The Drunk Republican @DrunkRepub]

This “free Palestine” movement is a social contagion. None of these people have any knowledge of the history of the conflict or the current politics of the region.

It’s just the latest thing to show off, like the trans movement or a new pair of Nikes.

[Olivia Kelly 💋 @oliviakelly91]

96% of Jews in Poland were murdered by the Nazis. That is genocide.

3% of Gaza’s population, mostly male combatants, died in the war they started. That is not genocide.

[Oscar Nuñez 🇵🇾 @OscarNunez90]

Los que tanto gritan “Free Palestine” deberían convertirse al Islam, casarse con un musulmán (si son mujeres), tener un hijo por año, mudarse a Gaza, Cisjordania o a cualquier país de mayoría musulmana y adaptarse de verdad a sus costumbres.
Hagan el combo completo ya que estamos

[Agustín Laje @AgustinLaje]

Desde hace seis años me toca vivir en España varios meses al año. Por motivos laborales y académicos, también debo viajar constantemente a distintos países europeos. Soy testigo directo de cómo la inmigración descontrolada destrozó el tejido social y su identidad cultural.

De repente, la Navidad es ofensiva, y un minuto después te encontrás escuchando alabanzas a Alá. Un pesebre representa el “odio”, mientras una mujer pasa a tu lado con un hiyab. Las iglesias se profanan con toda impunidad, mientras en ciertos países el Estado arresta a los cristianos que predican en la calle.

No solo es religión: festivales tradicionales que terminan cancelados “para no excluir a nadie”, dietas escolares que se modifican para no “ofender” a quienes jamás muestran intención de integrarse y modos de vestir que deben ser evitados a toda costa (especialmente, mujeres).

Así, los dueños de casa se convierten en huéspedes incómodos dentro de su propio hogar, obligados a moverse con cautela mientras los recién llegados imponen sin pudor la forma de vivir que hizo, de sus países de origen, una verdadera barbarie y una horrenda calamidad.

Antes que te des cuenta, tampoco podrás exhibir con orgullo la bandera de tu propio país. Pasa en Inglaterra, donde se ha vuelto “racista” ondearla en el espacio público. Sucede en España: donde vivo, hace unos años apuñalaron a un joven por llevar la camiseta española de fútbol.

Mientras los musulmanes se reproducen como conejos, Europa se desangra demográficamente: la élite política europea está obsesionada con mutilar sexualmente a los niños, abortar a los bebés y fomentar la guerra de sexos a través del feminismo radical.

Por cierto, nada de “igualdad de género”ni “sororidad” para los recién llegados: ellos violan, golpean a sus mujeres y las someten, pero son los enigmas de la “diversidad cultural”… ¡el tan inofensivo “multiculturalismo”!

Solo un dato: los delitos sexuales en Europa se incrementaron 79,2% de 2013 a 2023. Los inmigrantes de dicho origen están alevosamente sobrerrepresentados en las estadísticas policiales y judiciales relativas a este tipo de delitos tan aberrantes.

Ahora bien, esto es lo más importante: para que el islamismo pudiera hoy destruir Europa, Europa tuvo antes que destruirse a sí misma: desmantelar sus tradiciones, diluir sus particularismos nacionales y renunciar a su identidad.

Esa tarea fue realizada con toda eficiencia por su élite política y su élite intelectual.
Juntos, lograron vaciar de sentido los valores que sostuvieron a Occidente, convertir la culpa en principio moral, patologizar el orgullo nacional y promover un relativismo que dejó al continente sin defensas culturales ni espirituales.

El virus del islamismo llega cuando el organismo europeo, debilitado por sus propias ideologías autoinmunes, ha quedado desprovisto de anticuerpos.

Si la reacción que se está gestando en este momento no es realmente CATEGÓRICA, saluden a Europa que se va.

[Hans-Georg Maaßen @HGMaassen]

„Sie [Islamisten] nutzen unsere Toleranz, Gastfreundschaft und die sozialen Sicherungen des Westens gegen uns. Sie indoktrinieren junge Menschen so, dass sie unsere liberale Demokratie ablehnen und bekämpfen. Sie geben sich uns gegenüber oftmals moderat, um als Gesprächspartner auf Augenhöhe akzeptiert zu werden.

Sie streben in Parteien und gesellschaftliche Gruppierungen, um Anerkennung zu finden und ihre Forderungen in dosierter Form einzubringen. Sie agieren schrittweise, schleichend. Sie wollen im Unterschied zu den Terroristen als die Gemäßigten wahrgenommen werden.

Unsere Toleranz ihnen gegenüber erwidern sie mit einer Intoleranz gegenüber allen, die sich kritisch gegenüber dem Islam äußern, sobald sie gesellschaftlich akzeptiert sind. Damit wird ein schrittweises Verschieben des politischen Koordinatensystems erreicht, wodurch ihre Positionen als legitim und moderat erscheinen, während ihre Kritiker als Islamfeinde oder Populisten ausgegrenzt werden. Eine durchaus erfolgreiche Strategie.
Innerhalb ihrer Parallelgesellschaften scheuen sie nicht davor zurück, Klartext über ihre wahren politischen Absichten zu äußern, nämlich die freiheitlichen Demokratien zu unterwandern.

Deshalb greift es zu kurz, das Problem des Islamismus auf den Terrorismus zu reduzieren. Der islamistische Extremismus ist eine andere, aber ebenso grosse Gefahr, da er einerseits Terroristen das ideologische Rüstzeug gibt und andererseits von ihm eine Unterwanderung der Gesellschaft ausgeht. Wir nehmen den Extremismus weniger wahr, weil er schleichend vorgeht, und dadurch gewöhnen wir uns über die Zeit an seine Existenz.“

Entre las grandes distorsiones que se presentan al hablar del islam se encuentra la falacia de pensar (y repetir) que los árabes de hoy son una nueva edición de Avicena o Averroes. Nada más alejado que eso.

El mundo islámico atraviesa un enorme cisma: el bando más extremista, con Irán a la cabeza, Hezbollah, Hamas y los Hutíes disparando contra la Meca (sitio sagrado para los musulmanes) y aquellos que han logrado una interpretación teológica muy distinta como Emiratos Árabes Unidos.

Como si fuera poco, están también Turquía (OTAN-amplificador de la Hermandad Musulmana) y Qatar, el cajero de muchos de los grupos armados en Oriente. Estos dos jugando muy fuerte en Washington.

Hoy Arabia Saudita está en medio de esa encrucijada: territorio donde se alojan los sitios sagrados, la Meca y la Medina (leer sobre la Hégira de Mahoma), teniendo que pedir ayuda a Israel para no ser humillado por el proxy de Irán en Yemen. Juegan también Estados Unidos y China por el control de los estrechos.

Por eso el factor religioso en Oriente Medio es crucial. No sirve hablar de democracia, libertad o popularidad en sociedades donde, desde el mismo siglo VII, se disputa una guerra abierta para dirimir quiénes son los verdaderos continuadores del Profeta.

Y los del bando más pragmático sufren enormes problemas a la hora de “ganar la pulseada” a los más radicales.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

American foreign policy has totally always been “subservient” to Israel.

May 15, 1948: The United States maintained an arms embargo while Arab armies invaded Israel

One day after Israel declared independence, armies from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Transjordan invaded the former British Mandate. Egyptian aircraft bombed Tel Aviv, and Israel was fighting for its continued existence. Despite recognizing Israel, the Truman administration maintained the American arms embargo throughout the war.

October 29, 1956–March 8, 1957: Eisenhower forced Israel to withdraw from Sinai and Gaza

Israel entered Sinai after years of Egyptian-supported fedayeen attacks, Egypt’s blockade of Israeli shipping through the Straits of Tiran and Nasser’s acquisition of large quantities of Soviet weapons. President Eisenhower nevertheless supported U.N. condemnation, threatened economic consequences and forced Israel to surrender Sinai and Gaza without receiving all the security guarantees it demanded. Israel completed its withdrawal on March 8, 1957. Washington placed its own Cold War interests above Israel’s judgment about what its security required.

May 23–June 5, 1967: Johnson warned Israel not to act despite Egyptian blockade and military mobilization

On May 23, 1967, Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping after expelling U.N. peacekeepers and moving large numbers of troops into Sinai. Israel regarded the blockade as an act of war and feared an imminent multi-front attack involving Egypt, Syria and Jordan. President Lyndon Johnson nevertheless warned Israel not to initiate hostilities, telling Israeli leaders that Israel would not be alone unless it decided to “go it alone.”

October 22–25, 1973: America stopped Israel from destroying Egypt’s Third Army

Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack against Israel on October 6, 1973, during Yom Kippur. After surviving the initial assault, Israel counterattacked, crossed the Suez Canal and surrounded Egypt’s Third Army. The Nixon administration then pressured Israel to accept the October 22 ceasefire, stop advancing and permit supplies to reach the trapped Egyptian force. American leaders placed the preservation of their relationship with Egypt and the avoidance of a confrontation with the Soviet Union above Israel’s desire to fight against a country that had attacked it.

June 7–19, 1981: Reagan condemned Israel for destroying Iraq’s Osirak reactor

On June 7, 1981, Israeli aircraft destroyed Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor. Iraq formally remained at war with Israel, had participated in earlier wars against it and was ruled by Saddam Hussein, whose regime openly rejected Israel’s existence. Israel considered the strike necessary to prevent a hostile dictatorship from acquiring nuclear weapons. The Reagan administration condemned the operation, supported the unanimous passage of U.N. Security Council Resolution 487 and suspended delivery of additional F-16 aircraft on June 19.

January 18–February 25, 1991: America prevented Israel from retaliating against Iraqi missile attacks.

March 27–April 4, 2002: Bush demanded Israeli withdrawal after the Passover massacre.

July 12–August 14, 2006: Washington helped end Israel’s war against Hezbollah.

July 8–August 26, 2014: Obama pressured Israel during its war against Hamas rocket attacks.

October 7, 2023–March 25, 2024: America demanded limits and permitted a U.N. ceasefire resolution after the Hamas massacre.

May 8, 2024: Biden confirmed that weapons could be withheld over Israel’s Rafah operation.

Totally subservient to Israel.

The lying continues. Duly noted.
