>Utter humiliation for USA
How do you figure? To me this is the US showing leadership and balance - we will both support our ally Israel while also providing humanitarian aid to people we believe have a right to their homeland too.
- uoaei 3y agoBecause it's transparent and obvious that US gets to use their muscle to have it both ways and profit off of the conflict. It is hard to believe that the aid expenditure will exceed the profit from weapons sales.
- Georgelemental 3y ago> Support our ally Israel Aren't allies supposed to help each other out? US has given Israel billions in aid, but Israel refuses to do the bare minimum of allowing aid through its land borders with Gaza. The humiliation is Israel completely ignoring US concerns, and US not only letting them get away with it despite massive leverage at their disposal, but also putting American soldiers at risk to clean up their mess
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y agoThe US wants to have military bases in an friendly nation in a strategically important area (near the middle east oil producers, and near the Suez canal). Israel allows that. That's the main reason the US is so friendly to Israel, all the surrounding countries are far more hostile.
- Georgelemental 3y ago> all the surrounding countries are far more hostile … largely because of our relationship with Israel.
- cameldrv 3y agoIsrael does not allow the U.S. basing in Israel. We do have troops in Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, UAE, Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia though.
