The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Where's the cries of "our allies! Our allies!"

A few reasons why they are not as fervent on the Left:


1.)They are Anti Israel - and - quietly sort of Anti something else. (A condition I used to decry - but do NOT any more)

2.)"Allies!" - to the Left means merely - Their colonizer moocher slaver racist World War creating Western European masters.


3.)They know this is all token stuff. Just like the "Bibi!" cries. You could withhold a nugget of intel - sure. The Mossad is on training wheels and they dont have any intel on Hamas do they. And the "weapons" Biden isn't giving - certain Israel never ever ever needed weapons and they're known not to have enough on hand.

Point being - Bibi can become a circus clown in Vegas - you can withhold a nugget of intel and hold up an arms transfer and nOTHING changes - Israel still owns American politics.

Those are the reasons - the Left isn't too worried.
