Biden administration dramatically softens the sanctions it imposed on the seven Israelis from the Israel Defense Forces and makes it clear that they will be able to use their bank accounts.

    Name any colony that constantly insults their “mother country” and gets any demand they make including billions of dollars in aid every year.

    You’ve got the power dynamic backwards dawg…

      It’s an investment. The capitalist ruling class of the US get far more in return by keeping the middle-east subjugated to the US through “israel” than the money they spend on the colony. Biden agrees.

      Did I say it was a colony? And even if I had, the reasons for those things are literally in the linked articles. We need them there.

        No, someone else did…

        I replied to them, and then you just posted a bunch of links in reply to my comment.

        You literally didn’t say anything, so how did you expect people to guess what you meant?

        I’m sure it was perfectly clear to you what you were doing, but no one else could do anything besides make assumptions

          I edited it (my last reply above this), but we’re probably done here anyway.
