    Their shit disturbing at every opportunity is probably creating more problems than supporting them fixes. Every time Mossad goes off page and assassinates someone else, they’re making more enemies.

    We know it’s because if there was ever peace accidentally made in that area, Israel would be out of a job and hence the money, so there’s no fucking way they’re going to let that happen. So destabilizing the area is in Israel’s best interests.

      Huh??? How does Israel lose money if there was peace??? I am curious to hear your opinion on what kind of revenues makes up Israel’s GDP and where instability of the Middle East fits into that.

          So the usual $5B in aid that Israel gets. You know Israels GDP was close to $600B last year right?

            They had a budget surplus of less than $5b least year, so that money still makes a difference. Not sure if it’s just the usual $5b either right now, I didn’t go digging hard for it, but the data I saw for for much aid the US sends Israel was from before Oct.
