    Correction.

    The US does not benefit from it. The increasingly fascist and plutocratic ruling class benefits from it.

    We, the tax payers, are the ones being robbed.

    The money goes from our pockets, gets laundered through Israel. The Israelies bribe our politicians with it, then enrich the military contractors with what’s left.

    Palestinians get slaughtered. Tax payers get bled like stuck pigs. The police become more militarized. The party distinction lessens. Then, when Gaza has been successfully ethnically cleansed, a “completely unforeseen terrorist attack” (that was totally not committed by the Pentagon) will happen in America, and Iran will be blamed.

    A major population of the children of dutiful bootlickers between the ages 18 and 23 will go off to war and ravage Iran, Syria, Lebanon… the entire Middle East, taking their direct orders from the IDF. Israel will expand and will continue to thrive as the luxury epicenter for the uber-rich and powerful, protected by the Iron Dome surrounded with American youth and warships.

    At the same time, American Palestinians will be identified as domestic terrorists, along with anyone who spoke up in Palestine’s defense. They will be round up, pushed out of major population centers, and will face the same treatment Gaza got. Not only will there be the taxes>Israel>politician payoff>weapons pay-loop, but the taxes>Pentagon>politician payoff>weapons pay-loop will be fired back up full force.

    Then on to the next race whose country of genetic origin gives America/Israel any reason.

    It is all SO painfully see-through and boring.

    It is all that happens over and over and over again. For the entire span of human history.

      I don’t disagree but there is a huge military advantage to having Israel as an ally in the Middle East. Now more than ever with Iran and Afghanistan being increasingly extremist as of late.

            About the stupid and dismissive response I would expect from a lead eating knuckle dragging fascist.

            You know why Iran and Afganistan are increasingly extremist as of late? Because Israel is fucking colonizing and bombing their lands, you cretin.

        Like what? Seriously, the US has bases out the ass in the middle east. Losing Israel is not a big deal. And when was the last time they actually helped in a war? In the gulf war they were a fuckin liability because Iraq attacked them to try to get them to join the war and get the Muslim countries to pull out of the coalition.
