    This will be the news that causes the USA to finally tell Israel to stop, I’m sure.

    Israel is a pack of lunatics.

          Did you know that the prisoner-per-capita ratio in the US is higher than both Russia and China? In fact, the total number of incarcerated people (ie people in prisons and jails) in the US is 2.25 million. In Russia that number is 433,006 and in China it’s estimated at 1.7 million.

          Combined that’s 2.13 million.

          Those two “worse” countries combined don’t have as many people incarcerated people as the US.

          I have worse news about China and Russia

          No you fucking don’t. What the US is doing in Palestine is worse than anyone Russia is doing, and nothing China is doing even registers on the scale by comparison.

      After they just passed a bill to give them more money? I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not but I certainly hope so.

      My feeling is the US feels they are too committed now to stop and just hope that Israel will stop by itself soon.

      I’m not saying I like it, but it definitely feels like that…

      And herded them into camps to be starved and killed for no reason other than being who they are. Took less than a century to become who they hated the most.

    It’s sick that the US voted to give the Zionist regime billions on the same day that mass graves of people executed by Israeli soldiers are being uncovered.

        If a civilian comes at you with a weapon, trying to kill you, are they still a civilian?

        If a civilian stands in front of relief trucks, sending food/medicine/clothes/tents while the military destroys food/medicine/homes, are they still a civilian?

        If a civilian cheers every time one of their country’s soldiers shoots a random person or when a bomb in dropped on a hospital, or when missiles are fired at the places went to get away from the fighting, are they still a civilian?

        'Cause, from where I’m sitting, being okay with slaughtering people kinds makes it seem like they aren’t ‘innocent’ in this.

          I don’t think this applies to the general understanding of innocent civilians indeed.

      also, they’re playing on like ten cards, and won’t be going home (also stolen, free space!) until they win on every single fucking one.

        ISIS fights against all America’s enemies. Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya…

        Thankfully israel funds ISIS by buying their oil. And ISIS decided to attack Iran, Syria and now even Russia! Very convenient people!

          It’s weird your source is saying Israel was mostly buying ISIS oil, while the FT article they heavily draw from actually says most of it was coming out of Kurdish territories, with the funds being used for Peshmerga forces fighting against ISIS

          Taking all reporting into account it looks like all the produced oil going through Turkish traders with nobody down the chain caring who they’re funding

            The oil is extracted from Dir A-Zur in Syria and two fields in Iraq and transported to the Kurdish city of Zakhu in a triangle of land near the borders of Syria, Iraq and Turkey. Israeli and Turkish mediators come to the city and when prices are agreed, the oil is smuggled to the Turkish city of Silop marked as originating from Kurdish regions of Iraq and sold for $15-18 per barrel

            It passes hands a few times to avoid direct links. Someone traced it back. Came from ISIS.

              You’re pretty delusional if you think every drop of oil can be traced back in such an active conflict. You should read up on more sources and you’ll see everyone was buying cheap oil from the intermediaries. You could say Assad was funding ISIS with Russian support, but it’s a pretty useless statement once you know where it comes from

                I’m glad you are denying this report by making random claims about drops of oil.

                Did you know oil goes into barrels? Onto trucks? So much cool info that’s mentioned in the article. You can even read the article before commenting on it to defend israel!

      no, they haven’t tried to end the world this month, have literally any discipline, and don’t commit the sheer breadth of war crimes; they just do the same handful a bunch, and I’m not even sure they win on frequency.

    For real what is it with them, where are they even trying to go with this?

    Edit: I mean the Israel army. What is their end goal?
