I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Israel, is in fact, USA/Israel, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, USA plus Israel. Israel is not a country unto itself, but rather another illegal occupaton of a fully functioning USA empire made useful by the US Armed Forces, the Central Intelligence Agency and vital imperial components comprising a full empire as defined by any competent dictionary.

Many Palestinians get murdered by the USA empire every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the illegal occupation which is widely used for murdering Palestinians today is often called Israel, and many of its victims are not aware that it is basically the USA empire, developed by the colonizers who genocided almost all of the Native Americans a few centuries ago.

There really is an Israel, and these people are getting murdered by it, but it is just a part of the empire they are victims of. Israel is the illegal occupation: a part of the empire which resides on land that belongs to someone else who did not consent to getting murdered or having their land taken away. The illegal occupation is an essential part of the empire, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete empire. Israel is normally used in combination with the USA empire: the whole empire is basically USA with Israel added, or USA/Israel. All the so-called Israel distributions are really distributions of USA/Israel!

        Yes, but it is no secret. Everyone knows, it’s just impolite to reference the fact that the IDF murders civilians as part of a casual routine.

    I wonder that if the USA stopped supplying Israel, how long would it take for it to disappear.

      If the U.S. stopped supplying Israel, then they’d actually be pressured into taking the generous peace deal offered. Considering Israel has nuclear weapons and a “Samson strategy,” they’ll never disappear.

    The “existence” of Israel isfucked up any way you slice it. Refugees of The Holocaust aboard the St. Louis got turned away at every port, and the supposedly noble act of “giving them a homeland” reads more like an admission that they’d turn away another boatload of targeted minorities should it happen again.
