When the Democratic party’s governing body adjourned its meeting on Saturday in New Orleans, supporters of Palestine and an end of the genocide in Gaza had few reasons to celebrate. The Democratic National Committee had refused to give any ground to the large majority of the party’s voters with distinctly negative views of Israel…
…But the DNC continues to operate as if fully sealed off from the party’s voters on such matters. When the national meeting got under way on Thursday, the party’s resolutions committee proceeded to quickly discard a pair of resolutions critical of Israel…
…,The Democratic National Committee is a powerful model of what ails the party leadership at a time when the US-Israel alliance has been rampaging through the Middle East, terrorizing millions of people while leaving deaths and injuries and colossal destruction in its wake.
Money + kompromat

Because they don’t give a shit about the voters, they want the money hose flowing, and even if they remain a minority party, they can just blame their losses on the people who stop voting for them instead of ever asking WHY people stop voting for them.
Because its a lose-lose scenario. Either we cut off funding and have no reliable ally in the middle eastern proxy war between the west and the east, which will lead to less diplomacy and more radicalization over time, or we back a radical and hostile regime.
I think a good solution would be to keep defending Israel militarily but start sending their officials to the hague for starting wars and genocides, but since the DNC lack that power now and Biden was super soft on Israel it hasn’t happened.
It’s also a key issue for foreign interests such as China and Russia who promote it with psyops which illegitimizes the entire opposition movement.
Either we cut off funding and have no reliable ally in the middle eastern proxy war between the west and the east,
This presupposes that such a “war” needs to be fought at all.
Not much of a choice, even in times when Europe and the USA have taken minimal actions they’d face harassment by groups like Al Qaeda, ISIS, Hezbollah, or Houthis.
even in times when Europe and the USA have taken minimal actions
LOL, when was that? Be specific, now.
When the USA and Europe turned a blind eye to Saddam Hussein it led to them holding a military expansion campaign throughout the 80s and in 1990 during the Gulf War. In the 1990s the USA had several trade alliances, namely Saudi Arabia, but otherwise minimal involvement in the middle east but then 5 plane hijackings by mostly Saudi Arabian born terrorists hit notable US Infrastructure such as the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Fucked if we do and fucked if we don’t, the only way to end the proxy war is if the USA/Europe or Russia/China lose directly and not indirectly.
In the '80s and '90s, the US and Europe were actively arming and supporting their settler-colonial project named “Israel.” Ditto for the 2000s through today, as well as going from the '70s all the way back to 1948. Even further back, from 1920 to 1948, the British were administering that colony more directly, under the name “Mandatory Palestine.” Immediately before that, Europe was fighting, defeating, and partitioning the Ottoman Empire.
Oh and by the way, Britain was also controlling Egypt at that time, having occupied it during the Anglo-Egyption War starting in 1882 and not giving it up until 1956. And let’s not forget about India, either, including the part that would later become Pakistan. Britain’s colonial interests there led them to become adversaries with Russia over their spheres of influence in central Asia, including fighting various wars in Persia and Afghanistan in the 1800s.
So yeah, by my reckoning, “Europe and the USA” (but mostly Britain until after WWII) have been fucking with the Middle East CONTINUOUSLY AND WITHOUT EVEN A SINGLE DAY OF PAUSE for 200+ years. And that figure is only because that’s as far back as I care to list, not as far back as the colonialism goes!
When saddam hussein benefited europe and usa imperialism they was his ally when they no longer neede him they executed him
“The reliable ally” is the main reason for the lack of other allies in the region, and for the increased radicalization in the area. So your argument doesn’t make sense.
It’s like the fire department supporting the fire burning a building to keep the building safe. The “radicalization” happens to actual human beings because their lives got destroyed since childhood and they had no chance because of the “military” you want to keep defending. Maybe give the Humans a chance to grew up properly, with access to hospitals, education, and decent living, and then try diplomacy with them first? Not keep destroying every chance then be surprised they’re lashing back, and use that as an execuse to keep the pressue on them when that’s literally the reason for the issues in the first place.
That’s why the rest of the world hates America. Their culture is so self cantered, they don’t even see others who aren’t like them as humans just like them. So toxic and I’m sick of it.
The USA and Europe has attempted friendly relations and military cooperation with many other nations such as Iraq, Quwait, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia. All the listed examples have severely backfired. I think something should be done about Israel, but feeding them to the wolves will not resolve the wolf problem.
They never did. Imperialism supporter
Both sides of this conflict are imperialism-lite, at least I advocate against militaristic expansion unlike fuckin Tankies.
You was literally saying the west have to be imperialist because the other wise is imperialism. You are saying the west have to support a settler colonial power because China and Russia are imperialism although China and Russia has decent relation with Israel . At least Tankies are open about support the war of aggression on Ukraine while you are doing apologia for the western imperialism and it’s support for a terrorist state called Israel
Forewarning, you’re about to read a very unserious reply mocking both your grammar and your argument.
Yous was sayings thats thes Wests shoulds justs shuts ups ands bes attackeds whiles Russias ands Chineses ands allieds nationses expandses borderses?
You excuse Western support for settler colonialism…
You’re the one justifying imperialism, not me. I never said that China and Russia should be allowed to expand. You love to ignore the good relations that China, Russia, and Israel maintain. You’re as bad as tanki, if not worse.
