wow so sad, it’s almost like they started multiple wars or something
I feel terrible for every citizen killed or made homeless/jobless because of this.
Shouldn’t be a citizen on stolen land.
USAmericans sweating rn 😬
Don’t think they care much. Or about anything except themselves for that matter.
The most navel staring country on the planet

The reason the US supports Israel is exactly because Israel is a settler-colony. They’re part of the same genocidal settler project, Zionism is Manifest Destiny.

If landback wins in Israel the ones paying attention know that it’s coming for them too.

It’s also a geographically beneficial located proxy.

But they didn’t have to make a colony of European settlers to do that, did they? Egypt is a loyal collaborator with the US and it fulfills the same geostrategic goals, but the amount of support Egypt gets pales in comparison to Israel. Why is that?

We can’t dismiss the ideological importance of Israel. The unlimited support of the 51st state is exactly because it is a settler-colony.

I don’t see many ethnic Egyptians in places of power that can influence policy or get laws voted concerning their country.
Egypt hasn’t always been loyal, certainly not the population.
They overthrew the previous puppet despite US efforts to keep him in place.
When they saw it was hopeless they threw him under the bus and ‘supported’ the arab spring movement.
In reality they hijacked the revolution and simply put another puppet in place.

Settler-colonialism isn’t just about who is in power (although it is about that). That’s just regular colonialism, like French Algeria.

Settler-colonialism is about importing settlers to replace the indigenous population while enacting genocidal policies to exterminate or expell the indigenous population. Egypt isn’t experiencing that.

That’s why Egypt doesn’t get the level of support that Israel does.

That is your view.
I disagree.
