    I legitimately have no clue what the state department is doing or thinks it’s doing. This isn’t even good for money since now they can’t sell arms to quite a few nations because those weapons will immediately be spent on Israel. And they can’t send too much to Israel because it looks even worse and every dollar they send costs political will. Its dumb.

      Have you considered that what they are doing is supporting Israel, not for any justification they provide, but because they genuinely, ideologically agree with what is being done?

        Based on some recent posts as well as just what’s been going on there are plenty of people in the federal government who think this is just great. Which is disgusting and the dumbest shit imaginable.

        Its destabilizing places for the sake of it this isn’t even an efficient way to kill people, make money, or get political influence so I cannot for the life of me understand what is going on at this point.

      Pretty sure the state department actually objected to Biden’s encouraging of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. It’s just that Biden and Blinken are true believers here. It’s not about US interests or geopolitics or any of that stuff; they just want to see a greater Israel from the river to the sea.
