    They'll just send aid discreetly instead, Israel is the US government as far as control of the US government is concerned and they aren't gonna give up their American cannon fodder and weapons that easy

    Articles like this serve as a diversion. Netanyahu is a natural product of Israel as Israel's entire history is rooted in displacing Palestinians. You cannot remove this by removing Netanyahu.

      Those downvoting: what is controversial about this?

      Massacres have been happening for the last 80 years. The large majority of the Israelis believe that the government isn't going far enough in Gaza, and the large majority reject any ceasefure with Iran or Lebanon. The dehumanisation of the entire Middle East is complete.

      What is controversial here? Where do you see any, any evidence to the contrary?

        The GP's account history speaks for itself.

    America has zealously supported Israel since the 1940's - generally against the explicit advice of America's top diplomatic and military experts - because it's been d*mned obvious to America's elected political leaders, since the 1940's, that failure to zealously support Israel would result in their own failures to win American elections.

    (That may be now be changing, due to American voters souring on support for Israel.)

    But somehow, the western press seems perpetually incapable of up-front stating that support for Israel is a clear western voter preference. Not a decision by policy experts. Or by moral philosophers. Or by budget analysts. Or based on any of the other sorts of cerebral wonkery which the press starts drooling a river over the moment that anyone rings the "Israel" bell.

    This kind of crap is why I stopped paying for news.
