Reply to comment by [deleted] in Three Israelis killed by Palestinian in West Bank knife and car attack by WexfordHo

Or like the US starting two wars in the Middle East that lasted 20+ years because they were attacked once? What, you think Afghanistan was heavily armed or something? Iraq was on its second US invasion, so it was pretty weak too. I hate to think what the US would do if Mexico spent decades attacking it with rockets and bombs, I’m pretty sure that Mexico and Mexicans would no longer exist. The US is already pretty rough on everything South of their border, and that’s just based on racial animus.

Considering the US let’s in MILLIONS of Mexicans and immigrants who fled to Mexico I don’t see that comparison holding up about racial animosity. Maybe your comparison to Iraq is more relevant but there’s no border friction so maybe not.

“Lets” that uh… quite the spin on migrant camps, a “Stay in Mexico” policy, and separating kids from families at the border. All of this because Mexicans, Hondurans, El Salvadorans and others want to flee the economic conditions and violence the US has created over decades with their War on Drugs and coups.

But that’s fine because it’s the US, and not a country with a majority Jewish population. The US can commit war crimes, torture people on camera, still have an offshore torture and detention facility in Cuba, but it’s fine it’s fine. Because it’s the US. When the US responds to a single terror attack with 20 years of war and millions dead and displaced that’s just life. Hypocrites.

I’m just unraveling some hypocrisy, that’s not the same as whataboutism.

Insinuating the IDF will retaliate against civilians is not whataboutism. They've done it before and they'll do it again. Beating the shit out of a funeral procession of a member of the press you just murdered is not a good look, and Israeli's are confused when people don't support them.
