As a US citizen, I can tell you the US is a mess right now.
Projecting our recent filth on every one of our allies is intellectually dishonest behavior.
The same can be said for the others. There’s a seriously concerning paradigm shift taking place where democracy and decency is under attack.
When the nations outside of NATO are perfect, then let’s talk.
That said, Israel is straight up a serious fucking problem. The genocides they are taking part in are fucking awful. That needs to be dealt with. That nation shouldn’t have allies right now, and it’s placed massive tension on NATO’s members that openly oppose the actions.
The kernel of truth to the propaganda statement starting with “NATO-equipped soldier…” is that Israel’s military is heavily funded colonial project, supported primarily by the US.
I live in Canada and the Liberals here have also given material aid to the Gaza occupation.
Israel uses the NATO supply chain to bypass weapons restrictions from host many countries. For example The Netherlands is also using the NATO supply chain to send their F35 parts to Israel using the same loophole of giving it to the US which can then send it to Israel.
Many of the weapons transport flights for Israel are also done through NATO bases.
IDF is backed by the US, the UK, and Germany, three of the biggest NATO members.
It’s a standard kernel-of-truth propaganda framing.

You can add Canada, we have a loophole that equipment goes through the US first.

At least in our case the US is the only country we sell weapons to that is allowed to resell them to countries we block.
Our current government voted down a proposal to close this loophole.
That’s 1000% true. Never said it wasnt
🤜🏻🤛🏻
You say “kernel of truth” but admit it is basically the whole truth.
That’s the whole game isn’t it, neither of us think it’s actually true.
I call it a “kernel of truth”, you call it “basically the whole truth”. Same same.
Both of us know Israel receives almost all of their their weapons from NATO countries through the NATO supply chain but one of us has to lie about it.
