USA give cash to Israel because they use Israel to fulfill american objectives and Israel need that cash. Like a boss and employee

@Shibuki And if there's anyone here sharing Nazi ideology, that would be you. Your hatred towards the Israelite people is evidence of your ideological afinity with Nazis.

@Shibuki Which makes me reiterate my initial point: Zionsim is Nazism.

[Shibuki]

@TheRoyalFreshness69 One more thing: Americans are not working to serve the Israelite people. Americans have their own interests and there are plenty of Americans who oppose providing public financial funds to the Israelites. Moreover, Americans also provide that kind of support to other Middle Easter states (Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan). You miss the fact that the Israelite state is crucial for Americans to prevent Russian and Persian influence in the region.

@TheRoyalFreshness69 Benjamin Netanyahu should be convicted for war crimes? What crimes? By the way, I don't think most Israelites are really that concerned about international law and the UN, given the fact a lot of its member states have a History of discrimination and violence against the Israelites, just like the Kurds don't recognize the international law dictating their country belongs to other people.

[Shibuki]

@TheRoyalFreshness69 Yes, it was obviously collective punishment. That's what also happened to the English and German civilians during WW II. Both suffered collective punishment. It's almost impossible not to harm civilians when striking in such a denselly populated area like Gaza, specially if one parties uses its own civilians as human shields. I recognize though there are also extremist elements among the IDF who attacked civilians on puropose.

@Shibuki Israel uses Phosphorus bombs on populated areas under the excuse that they were smoke bombs---against international laws.Their 23 day blitz on Gaza was described by Judge Goldstone as collective punishment, a practice often used by the Nazis in WW2.

[TheRoyalFreshness69]

@Shibuki Google the # of Palestinian deaths vs Israeli deaths. That is all. Netenyahu should be convicted in an international court for Crimes Against Humanity. Israel has broken so many international laws; but because America is Israel's bitch, nothing happens to them. Iraq breaks 2 international laws, gets invaded, bombed, and destroyed.

@TheRoyalFreshness69 They have suffered for sure at the hands of ultra-Zionists (Israelite national extremists), but they suffer even more because their leaders are constantly dragging them into violence, while using them as human shields. Khaled Mashal ordered Hamas to shoot thousands of rockets aimed at Israel. But was he standing in Gaza durign the Zionist offensive? No. He was relaxed in luxurious apartment in Assyria with his prostitutes drinking champagne along with Bashar Al-Assad.
