    Friendly reminder about the USS Liberty incident.

    Israel just has political plot armor in the US (UK as well, seemingly).

    Does not matter how many US Jews are against Israeli policies and actions, it is always anti-semitic to against Israel, even if you yourself are a Jew.

    I am honestly still quite amazed the IDF continues to fuck up basic ROE worse than the US did in Iraq War 2.

    Edit: Look up the Samson Policy/Option for more insanity.

    We posture, much of it legitimately, albeit somewhat hypocritically, against the proliferation of nuclear weapons, generally.

    Meanwhile there are multiple on record statements of Israeli officials basically saying that if Israel is sufficiently attacked, they will nuke European Capitals, basically any where they can to give the entire world a reason to not let Israel fall.

    And apparently the idea of just nuking Gaza was being floated back in Feb.

    But nope, officially the US just keeps pretending Israel does not have nukes.

    Edit 2: Ironically the saying that pops into my mind after writing all that is something my grandmother used to say: Noah, Get the Boat.
