Seriously, why is the USA supporting Israel? (lemmy.world)

The US is supporting Israel through what we can mostly all agree is a genocide of the Gazans. Clearly, Biden isn't a genocidal maniac, yet he's all in with unwavering support. Why are we doing this? There has to be a logical reason that isn't just "we want Israel to kill everyone in Gaza and take their land a la lebensraum."

We know this is an emotional topic, so please be respectful of each other so that we can have open and clear authentic discussion on the matter.

I am more curious as to why these completely legal (non rule breaking or trolling comments) are being deleted by lemmy moderation. My app shows removed comments.

If you think you are seeing what people really think of the conflict on this site, you are not. Agendas are being pushed

We need more transparency and community engagement. I think instead of someone being banned or their comment being removed, it should go up for a vote between a random selection of users.

Sort of like the criminal justice system. Be judged by a jury of your peers. Not just some arbitrary official who decides your fate and you have zero recourse.

Sorry I'm really bad at reading between the lines, what's the agenda being pushed?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

It was getting a bit too based. People are stating to realize that there is very little difference between israel and the Nazi's expanding their Lebensraum.

After that, you ask the question if fighting back against Nazi's is justified, but answering that is not allowed yet.

Fighting back against Nazis is the only correct response.
