An Israeli official told the Post: “We presented the American administration with evidence of Iran’s breakthrough toward a nuclear bomb. There was full and complete coordination with the Americans.”

Iran’s armed forces spokesperson accused Israel of carrying out attacks against Iran with US support.

This comes after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement, "Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.

    They didn’t have nukes in 1996 when Netenyahu started this shit, and they still don’t today.

    Israel is hell bent on destroying its neighbors, and as always America is hell bent on being its little removed and providing arms and cover the whole way. What a disgrace.

    Especially, fuck trump for another disastrous lie claiming he didn’t want more wars. We knew it was bullshit, and it only took him 5 months to prove it.

    All the gEnOsiDe JoE people need to understand this is one of the things Biden (and, presumably Harris) were keeping from happening by not completely shutting down all interactions with Israel’s Likud. Now that enough people didn’t stop trump, we’re going to get in some deep shit.

    If I was some kinda conspiracy person I’d say that’s because as much kompromat as Putin has on ya boi there’s way, way more damning stuff in Epstein’s files. But obviously that couldn’t be because

      I wouldn’t give that administration that much credit. When it came out that they were saying and doing utterly nothing about Gaza when they were telling the press about all the “discussions and negotiations” they were having, you knew there was no credible restraint on Israel.

        Because the problem with Israel is our congress. They are owned by them. Even if Biden has come out strongly against israel. The Congress would just override him. Biden was never a good politician. But on top of that he had nothing but shit options available to him. I still think he should have stood up and forced Congress to go against him. But current events in Israel were never going to be stopped by a presidential election.

          I don’t buy that, the executive is entirely in control of that relationship by law, even real, non-Trumpian law. He could veto anything congress wanted to put up against him if he had truly wanted to do anything. Hell, they said they were doing things that they never even tried to do, let alone going against Congress with tougher measures like cutting off arms shipments. They didn’t actually do the slightest amount of pushback except for announcing false “negotiations”.

          If that Congress was in thrall to Israel, the executive was bought and paid for.

            I suggest you read up on what a veto proof majority is. Literally they could stop and override his veto on just about anything regarding israel. And best of all it doesn’t care if you buy it or not. It simply exists. All we can do is acknowledge it and take it into account.

            The only reason Trump is able to do any of the things he’s currently doing. Is because he has the support of far too much of the Judiciary and the majority of the legislature.

            Deny all you like. While I sympathize with a lot of you, and think you had good intentions. You were played like fools and that is just a simple fact. Something that we should remember and try to do better about in the future. And the first step on that path is to acknowledge you are manipulated.

            We have our work cut out for us. We have a whole legislature and Judiciary to replace before replacing the president means anything.

              Just to be clear, I am not a Trump voter, I’m a third party watching the carnage from the outside.

              Yes, they could have gotten a supermajority together and overrode the veto, but that would have been highly unlikely, given how often that’s ever occurred. And by not buying it, I’m saying that they could have done what they said they did and more, but simply didn’t regardless of what might have happened in Congress. They didn’t even do the small amount they said they were doing that didn’t get called out by any large amount of representatives.

        The amount of complaining about Joe vs the amount of complaining about trump w/r/t Israel/Gaza is hilariously russian-troll-sized lopsided.

        And both are key to propping up trump.

    Israel: No, US, you don’t understand. We’re dragging you into everything we do and you’re going to help us or we fund your primary opponent that will. We can’t do any of the shit we do alone, we need you to do it.
