  I love it when people push back like this without suggesting the real reason. Can't think one can you? That too from a new sock puppet.

  Not really an excuse when we had house republicans at the start of the war saying we went to war for Israel [1]. It's only become wrong to suggest this as politicians and pundits have woken up to the fact that waging war on behalf of Israel isn't a popular thing to do.

    That is literally one of the blame game strategies outlined in this Brookings 2009 paper: https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/06_iran_strategy.pdf https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/06_iran... Israel is happy to take the blame, because of course it does want the war. But it is a stretch that the whole "Path to Persia", which included Iraq, Libya and Syria was only done at the behest of Israel. I'm not an Israel shill, the behavior in Gaza is abhorrent.

      Sorry, I have a hard time believing you aren't an Israel shill, especially since you are using a common tactic I've noticed of Israel defenders, working to hide any of your past opinions through new accounts or hidden comments. It's happening a lot on reddit as well. You'll find a bunch of pro-israel accounts which are private. Who knows, you may be legit, but forgive me for not trusting you and these other new accounts that always seem to float up when Israel is discussed. Especially since it's well known that Israel is spending nearly a billion dollars on online propaganda [1] [1] https://libertarianinstitute.org/news/israel-plans-to-spend-740-million-on-propaganda-in-2026/ https://libertarianinstitute.org/news/israel-plans-to-spend-...

Or Trump. In his own words he doesn't care about American citizens financial troubles at all. One wonders if the people who hated Biden for egg prices feel any shame at all?
