New documents have surfaced revealing details about Israel's conduct during the 1948 War in which it ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes.

The documents confirm Israeli leaders carried out more war crimes & premeditated massacres than previously thought.

The orders issued to soldiers "were unreservedly to shoot every Arab – hence it makes no difference whether it is a man or a woman, whether the Arab is armed or not, whether he flees or raises his hands and surrenders. If you saw an #Arab while on patrol, you are obligated to shoot him."

Another order read: "Arabs in a small number are wandering about in the [captured] villages ... the area is to be cleansed of Arabs ... every Arab who will be met with is to be annihilated."

"In Lod, hundreds of Arabs were taken into a mosque and Fiats (rockets) were fired into it."

Knowing how #Israel operates, knowing how they feel about #Arabs and West Asians, to suggest that #Iran must "unconditionally surrender" to them or us, is madness.

No country in the world would agree to "unconditional surrender" under the best of conditions, but they sure as hell aren't going to do it for genocidal maniacs like the #US and #Israel.

Israel is doing an invasion of multiple countries under the protection of US military forces. Trump is giving them 600 MILLION DOLLARS worth of bombs, without approval, to help them take over the Middle East.

That will turn this irretrievably into an existential fight to the death on multiple fronts.

We cannot fight a land war in Iran. We don't have the manpower, and a draft for the Holy Epstein War would have American streets on fire.

Why is it that we're willing to give all our treasure and sacrifice our troops for Israel? What have they ever done for us? Serious question. Cause I'm seeing a lot of downside and no up.

@MissConstrue "Why is it that we're willing to give all our treasure and sacrifice our troops for Israel? What have they ever done for us? "

It dissolves into the semantics of "us".

Sorry.

E.g. Bill Ackman ($), and Bret Stephens (press) are fucking *thrilled* with how things are going.

I've come to see Israel as a giant military base of the US in West Asia, there to ensure a flow of cheap oil, and to break every country in the region that wishes to be prosperous (Lebanon, Sudan, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, etc) This explains the flow of weapons from the US to Israel.

@Alexandrad1 Yeah, but it’s a base where we in the continental states pay for universal healthcare, daycare, and food allowances (for Israeli citizens of Jewish descent only), for a population, when we ourselves are committing suicide to escape medical bills for our families. Where 1 in 4 children go hungry, where more than a million people are homeless, we’re spending a billion dollars a day to prop up a murderous regime that has killed our soldiers on purpose, stolen nuclear secrets, gotten us into various never ending wars, and has now started WW3.

We need to cut Israel loose, they’re not worth the hassle of being their friend.

Like, if you had a friend, and every time you went out, you ended up paying for the night, the fines to get out of jail and the surgery to fix the teeth you lost in the fight, you’d stop hanging with that dude.
