@PhenomAnon_X@Lawton_Braves Israel is one of the most innovative countries on earth. They've exported technologies globally, helping ppl everywhere, from agricultural innovations, to cybersecurity, tech, water treatment, medical devices, biotech, the list goes on.Beyond the war, it is an incredible country.
@AccordingLee@Lawton_Braves Israel has been trying to make peace with its neighbors for decades. Palestinian leaders have rejected peace again and again. They've have massively more land had they accepted those deals. You are ignorant, which is typically how these convos go.
@ShieldWall1485@Lawton_Braves "Israel is ungrateful" is such a strange frame. Listen to Trump's own words - his SecWar and other advisors advised him against the deal, advised him against appeasing Iran. Israel isn't pouting, stamping their foot bc they didn't get a cookie. They think they've been endangered.
Nah, you guys know what? I’m just gonna come out and say it. And when I’m done saying it, tell me if it’s “blatant Islamophobia” or just…. you know… reality.
Let me explain to you some of the things I witnessed with my very own eyes in multiple Muslim countries. This will not be for the weak or faint of heart.
1. They didn’t just massacre one another in Baghdad, they chopped each other up into little pieces and stuffed them in underground vats. SPC Plocica was the only one with a strong enough stomach to fish the pieces out with a coat hanger so we could confirm the report. Don’t worry @Primz94933160 was there too as a witness. Rib cages with rotted flesh, pieces of legs with shoes attached, arms, hands, you name it. It was the most disgusting thing I’ve seen with my two eyes.
2. The obsession with having sex with children or feminine men. The saying over there was women are for breeding and men are for fun. We had to protect our fairer looking male Soldiers from being molested CONSTANTLY. But that isn’t the worst part. I once stumbled upon an Afghan colonel r*ping his 11 year old assistant, I heard the unholy noises emanating from his tent on our FOB. When I moved to interdict I was stopped for fear of a Green on Blue incident. And then we were all “educated” on the fact that this was CULTURALLY ACCEPTABLE FOR THEM TO DO. It was as normal as breathing.
3. Women are less than nothing to them. I would always ask how many children elders had for small talk. They could have 10 kids. 7 daughters and 3 sons. What will they tell you? They have 3 sons. I watched a man carrying his dead daughter in his arms to my FOB. She died due to a malfunctioned bomb we dropped. That didn’t matter to him. He dropped her on the ground with a stone cold face and demanded we pay him. She was f*****g NOTHING to him. He left the body with us and walked away counting his money.
4. Some of them have sex with animals. Ask me if I saw a man from COP 763 in east Baghdad mount a donkey in the middle of the night through a RAID FLIR camera. Because the answer will be yes.
5. They did heinous things in battle. Suicide bombings. Using their own wives as human shields. Using children as shields. Shooting from mosques. Spitting at our working dogs… or worse.
This all sounds crazy right? And I bet my comment section will flow with similar horror stories. It almost sounds like I’m making it up huh? I wish I was. I really do.
I know good Muslims in America. One of them is among my closest friends. But he’s passed through the American filter…HEAVILY. I can safely say he is literally one of us.
My question for you is, how are you not “Islamophobic”? My assessment comes from 4 total years immersed in multiple Islamic nations.
I wish I could say I’m sorry that I’m an inconvenient truth teller against your agenda.
But I’m not sorry at all. You must open your eyes. You MUST see this is a problem. Don’t you? How can you not?
@Lawton_Braves@AnamaMOSS US aid to Israel typically amounts to less than 1% of their GDP. For past few years, US aid has been slightly more than 1% of US GDP. Israel spends ~7.6% GDP on healthcare, ~6.2% on education.We're not paying for their free healthcare & education.This myth is strangely sticky.
@KokomoBlue_@AuronMacintyre Shhh! You're being corralled into another RW Us vs Them diverter. You don't want to be a "them" do you?? Accept the frame or be cast out and piled on ...
@AuronMacintyre The deal with Iran was an expensive capitulation. Appeasing a government that chants "Death to America" and "Death to Trump" so we could get tankers moving and trying to button it up (poorly) before midterms. But sure, it's just about Israel ...
@AmericanDebunk Certain posters on the Right seem determined to burn through what remains of their credibility ... What an idiotic post. Who pinged you and told you to write that?
@ChandlerForPB Navigating inter-ethnic animosity when one side has the drumbeat of potentially imminent annihilation running in the background is a tricky thing.
@TheDragonFeeder@JackPosobiec Posobiec will never post anything critical of Trump. Half the RW media sphere is a clown show w/their own agendas.
The purpose of his post is to plant the idea that is was a good deal in the minds of his stupidest followers. He wants more clapping seals.
@Lawton_Braves "They cannot survive w/out us." Well, now they maybe cannot survive w/us. Theyve a very strong, tech focused economy, highly capable military.What they can't survive is US aiding,funding their enemies.I like Trump, but he's no Great Father. Israel will do what it must to survive.
@Lawton_Braves Israel is facing an existential battle, tethered to a superpower who doesnt fully understand the players, nor the stakes. Compounding things is how unpopularity of ME war among Americans sways Trump's actions.
Read Israeli commentary. They want to get off US aid bc of this.
@ArtemisConsort Point being it doesn't need to cohere. They don't care about coherence. They will slip out of any sort of "make it cohere" trap and revert to, "Migration is incredibly small, it's not a big deal, & if it were, they'd can just vote against it. (subtext: stop being a bigot)"
@ArtemisConsort Having just attempted to explain to some ppl the significance of what is happening in Belfast, only to be smugly directed to a BBC article & told that the problem is a handful of emboldened racists,their response wld be,"If they didn't want this, they could just vote against it."
