The former President’s support for Israel abetted a humanitarian catastrophe. But Jacob Lew, who served as U.S. Ambassador to the country, still thinks that the Trump White House could learn from its predecessor.
Why does no journalist ever ask why government officials want Israel to be our ally. Just because they were for x number of years has no bearing on whether or not they should have been or should still be our ally. Russia was our ally, guess what, they’re not anymore. We don’t have to ally ourselves with murderous countries.
The whole interview centers on Israel must be our ally so we must do stuff for them. They shouldn’t fucking be our ally!!! They’ve been committing atrocities for generations at this point!
Politics. Over the years there have been quite a few UN votes where only Israel stands by the us. Supposedly clandestine operations that the us wanted to stand apart from. The alternative would be having to think about why the rest of the world opposed
Isreal is an ally because it’s a FOB for the US to use against the middle east.
That, and modern Evangelical Christianity hinges on the Jews controlling the holy land as a precursor to the apocalypse. And Evangelical Christians vote Republican.
I’m not actually asking for the answer. I want a journalist to actually get a government official to admit whatever personal reason they have so that we finally stop supporting this genocidal nation. Nobody is going to try to vote to remove these people from power until they actually admit their reason.
