Before Hezbollah Israeli money was constantly being pumped into Lebanon. Also once again you're missing my point, both Hamas and Hezbollah were created to be enemies. Im addition you're still ignorent to the economics of war and foreign interests. It matters not what Israel wants when its nothing but an extension of the American Empire.
You said “hold”, like they were in control of the place.
Now you’re just saying they invested there.
But your point is wrong - they were created to be allies. Allies of Iran, which is who created them. That’s why Hezbollah promotes Shia Islam in Lebanon.
Waving terms like “war economics” and “foreign interests” without meaning anything by them doesn’t help your argument; Iran faces the same incentives for war against Israel that anyone else would.
If Israel is nothing but an American vassal state, the vanguard of our imperial ambitions in the Middle East (lol, who cares about that shithole desert) then why have we placed Israel under arms embargo literally every time they’ve been attacked by Arabs?
Money is a form of control, if you control a countries economy you effectively control the country.
Hamas received direct Israeli funding
My point is that war economics inherently benefits the American Empire
Israel exists as an outpost for American troops to exhert power in the region. In addition America has sent more money to Israel then every other country. I think it was said best by Joe Biden "If Israel didn't exist we would have to make one".
The idea that Israel wants peace is absurd, the people maybe but its clear that the colonial ambitions of the Israeli government will never be satisfied nor its lust for violence. In addition factually speaking Israel is a colonial outpost, early Israeli colonizers openly called themselves colonizers until the term become no longer cool.
Spending money someplace doesn’t “control the economy”, stupid.
No, it did not.
Proxy war with Israel directly benefits the Iranian empire.
There are fewer US troops stationed in Israel than stationed in Lincoln, Nebraska.
There’s no such thing. Israel is not a colony - Palestine is a colony and Arabs are colonizers.
