Decades of U.S. war crimes led to what Israel is doing in Gaza
Israeli forces are emulating what the U.S. did in Mosul, Fallujah and elsewhere. But it's harder to hide
Tired of "every political problem is US fault," so I'm kicking the can.
Anything you want to blame on the US is Britain's fault.
They failed to suppress the colonial revolution, and odds are, also caused whatever problems the US gets told to go police as the UN lapdog.
It seems to me that this is the one political position the author has: "America bad." And everything follows from there. Russia invades Ukraine: Actually it's America's fault, because NATO expansion is violating non-existent treaties. Israel bombs Gaza and does the crimes against humanities: Actually it's America's fault, because Israel is just imitating America.
This seems like the usual "what aboutism" from Russian or Chinese propaganda.
What Israel did is really really bad, but America didn't force them to do it. And America's response of unconditional support is also bad, but they generally didn't want this conflict, because it's not useful to their agenda.
America does enough bad stuff, no need to invent more.
To be fair, and I hate to play Devil's advocate to this bullshit, but the US tried to share their "lessons learned" with Israel. The US repeatedly told Israel to not go full in like the US had done in Iraq and Afghanistan (read Felluja). After Fallujah, the US changed tactics and took a more "small strikeforce", infiltrate and assassinate approach. Israel basically told the US to shut the fuck up and just started blasting.
There's nobody better in the world to tell you how to avoid war crimes than someone with decades of experience in committing war crimes.
The US repeatedly told Israel
While sending them 3 billion a year, if they wanted them to stop they would threaten to stop sending the money.
You're right. If the US stopped sending them money their military budget would only be 20 billion a year.
So anyway, they started blasting...
Decades of US unconditional support for Israeli war crimes.
And general meddling in other countries in the name of preventing the spread of communism
preventing the spread of communismencouraging democracy and freedomLike continuously bribing the Pakistan army to remove the elected government
Tbf the people currently most involved in incidentally preventing the spread of communism are edgy internet communist teenagers.
Sure. Its the US's fault. Now stop.
3 billion per year to genocide supported by "left wing" Democrats
We don't have left wing politicians. We have a corporate party and a corporate fascist party.
I agree 100%.
Neither democrats nor republicans are actually left wing. And both groups vote en masse to give Israel money.
I agree, it's shameful.

Oof. There's so much conflation and handwaving here it really reads like propaganda that requires buy in on an concept first.
