Why do you jump at the chance to blame Netanyahu when the blame could rationally and otherwise be found at home?

You're fucking kidding, right?

" Various right wing hawks like John Bolton, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell"?

You're positing that that's who has trump's ear? Not Netanyahu? Are you fucking high?

Why would anyone post something like that in defense of trump 2025? I know you always think if I could find something to justify what trump does, you just appear desperate.  Trump is humiliating himself each day, and you want to save him, just like you want to defend Israel.  Again it never bothers you how many 10000s of innocent people get killed in Gaza and now Iran.  Remember someone from Israel either has died or could die, so Again let's kill everyone. The only terrorist the world sees is Israel,  they keep killing anyone and then you want to justify it.

I'm going to write this one more time and then, fuck it, I give up, you're going to believe whatever makes you happy.

Oh stop, you'll repost it next week, you know it.

Odd that a genocide enabler has only posted to a progressive board in the last 3 years except for two posts elsewhere.

John McCain was caught on camera singing, "bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran" during his presidential campaign, ages ago. Various right wing hawks like John Bolton, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, have been trying to drag us into war with Iran for decades.

You're missing a "bomb". This is the song:

McCain actually sang the line on camera, and then was embarrassed. I happened to be watching TV at the time.

So you don't think Bibi wanted us to bomb Iran? And didn't ask every US president for the past 20 years and more to do that? Because it's something on which there's general agreement.

The US and UK overthrew Mossadegh for what is now believed to have been to guarantee the continued free flow of oil. Was that to please Israel, too?

What?? The UK controlled the oil company that dealt in Iranian oil. It was the usual colonialist story. But the Shah promised to play nicely with the UK and with us, and so we returned him to power. Mosaddegh was imprisoned for a few years, and then kept in house arrest for the rest of his life. But the Middle East being what is it, he could have had a worse time. He was deposed in 1953.

So why should I be interested in an article written in 2011 for a publication I've never encountered before?
