    And a parasite can survive as long as its host can.

      Trying to rationalize inaction.

        You're making an argument (claiming this is not an argument). You're obviously wrong. Israel doesn't have to genocide thousands of Palestinians in order to survive. That's also wrong. Israel should not survive the PR. The US should not support their war crimes, obviously.

        Israel and its allies get away with a lot by marketing this as a “war”. It’s not a war. Israel launches high-tech military explosives at civilian buildings in a huge concentration camp while Hamas fires back with glorified fireworks which do light property damage. That’s not a war, it’s a massacre.

        Frankly they didn't need the US behind them to defeat 5 Arab countries at once so that isn't even a necessity.

        LOL! No. They need the US to hide behind while they shoot largely unarmed women and children. Guess we can sail our carriers back, then? Remove all those bases over there? Would save us a fortune.

        So what war has an Arab army won against another state?

        What are you trying to suggest? If what you say is true, guess we can stop funding Israel, right?

        If you refer to the Yom Kippur War, you're certainly wrong. For that war, Israel required US weapons. It was a sea change in US support for Israel that has lead to Israel's massive military complex and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians after the assasinations of Rabin and Arafat.

        Anyone can buy US weapons.

        The US often end up fighting armies using bombs made in the USA.

        You forget the golden rule. The Jew with the gold makes the rules.

        Jewish people have nothing on the Saudi royals.

        It's probably a mistake to extend a justified objection to Israel's foreign policy to antisemitism in general.

        For one thing, you'll be alienating your allies: Hundreds arrested at Jewish US Capitol rally demanding Israeli ceasefire in Gaza

        For another you'll come off as racist, which people would tend to dismiss as implying poorly educated, and intellectually constrained.
