      Industry standard thinks that nato, the organization, is supporting Israel. While many nato countries do, its disingenuous to say “nato”, but that’s how they frame it

        Interestingly, to me, Israel exists directly after the events of WW2 because of said members and Stalin’s Russia, all of whom did not care one bit about the region’s current inhabitants but didn’t want to accept millions of Jews into their countries.

        NATO was formed later on as a check to the USSR, which placed Israel in the first world because of pro capitalism interests. That’s neither here nor there, though, as Netanyahu has had very a positive relationship with Putin (with it decreasing a little recently after the attacks on ally Iran). Who do you think sells Israel the most oil?

        Do you say the same when you read “Iranian-backed Houthis” or are you selectively outraged when NATO is correctly framed as the sole reason Israel is able to commit genocide?

          False equivalence, but yes. Because nato isn’t the sole reason Israel is able to commit genocide

            Because nato isn’t the sole reason Israel is able to commit genocide

            The “Israel fought a 7 front war and won all by itself” angle is usually reserved for Zionists so I am amazed you are saying Israel is committing genocide in the same sentence

              No, its just because i know Israel support isn’t just in a vacuum. There is a lot that makes that war machine tick. Including other countries that dont embargo them, like Russia and China. There is nuance you are either ignorant of, or being ignored on purpose, to push an agenda

                  What food is the soldier eating? Israel imports a lot of food from russia. What building does the soldier sleep in? Israel imports a lot of metal from russia.

                  That’s the problem with your argument. Yes, I agree, a lot of nato countries are enabling the genocide, but to state it as if nato is orchestrating it, is disingenuous. Individual countries who happen to be part of nato are enabling the genocide, but many countries who aren’t a part of nato are also contributing to the genocide.
