Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that the Trump administration reports to him every day about the ongoing war in Iran.
In a meeting with Israel’s Cabinet ministers, Netanyahu said, “I spoke yesterday with Vice President JD Vance. He called me from his plane on his way back from Islamabad. He reported to me in detail, as this administration does every day, about the development of the negotiations. In this case, the explosion in the negotiations.”
Netanyahu went on to claim that the U.S. broke off the negotiations because Iran didn’t immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz and wouldn’t commit to getting rid of all of its enriched uranium.
I don’t understand why the United States needs Israel so much. why can’t they just do regular types of diplomacy like economic trade agreements or whatever? what’s the problem?
Christian Zionism. If Israel is armed to the teeth and encouraged into a bloody, protracted regional war, conservative evangelicals believe it will force Jesus to come back to Earth sooner than God was expected (because apparently an omnipotent and omnipresent deity can be tricked so easily), and thus usher in Armageddon.
I wish that was a joke. But it’s not.
Of course that’s only one reason. The real answer is a complex series of interdependent pieces. Christian Zionism, anti-Muslim paranoia, subconscious guilt over the Holocaust, wanting to appeal to conservative Christian and Jewish voters domestically, and now many politicians on both sides being deep in the pockets of ultra conservative Israeli power brokers via AIPAC.
i want to assume religion isn’t a real reason for anything and it’s more of a tool for manufacturing consent
What else is religion most of the time?
One obvious possibility: Israel is blackmailing American politicians to do what Israel wants. Epstein was an Israeli asset. The kid-diddle island was Israel collecting blackmailable people from politics, finance, entertainment – all assets they could deploy later.
The Republican Party’s files were hacked like a decade ago…right around the time a whole lot of anti-Trump Republicans (like Sen Graham SC) permanently changed their tune about Trump.
That’s why American can’t seem to quit Israel.
no i don’t think it’s that stupid I’m sorry
I think more people need to ask this question.
White people close to the oil
I understand this in some sense but not really because I don’t see what difference it makes if you have regular types of diplomacy and internationalism and trade with money or whatever
Powerful white people love bombing powerless brown people.
Plain old colonialism. Israel is the USA’s foothold in the middle east.
