• E: It’s not problematic to point out Mossad or the structures Israel uses to reinforce/self-necessitate its existence. My gripe is purely with the wording of the original statement, “normal vassal behavior”

    Okay, what’s wrong with the wording there, because all I am doing is saying “this is not normal vassal behavior,” which it isn’t. I think of Ukraine or Saudi Arabia or any European state as being “a normal vassal.” I think if some congress dipshit went to any of those places and got arrested for nothing it would be somewhat of an incident which would result in their release and at least an apology. In this case, he’s arrested by a paramilitary and then when the actual military shows up, they side with them.

    We both know that Israel intentionally and purposefully conflates its jewish population with The Jewish Identity to the point that they nearly 24/7 make accusations of antisemitism towards any criticism of israel so I really don’t appreciate being implied to be an antisemite even as you acknowledge the basic premise of my argument (that Israel has and uses numerous methods to increase its influence over the U.S. government for self serving purposes, which should be entirely unnecessary if The Israeli Project is critical to the U.S.'s designs to begin with)

      That’s what you intended to say but people are clearly reading it as saying that Israel isn’t a vassal state of the USA at all. It’s the more obvious reading to me and clearly to a lot of other people as well. Just be less ambiguous in your wording and you won’t get people up your ass about it, or at least if you do the majority of people are likely to have your back.

        What the fuck has possibly been ambiguous about literally anything that i’ve said except for the initial “just normal vassal behavior” which Ive backed up at great length?

        Seriously fuck you, “take the L” dawg L my fucking dick
