Not news, just the daily reminder of what Israel is nowadays. Business as usual.

The USA has allied itself with similarly evil allies - Hussein, Gaddahfi, Pinochet, Noriega... hopefully the end result of allying with Israel is similar.

the list goes on pretty far; the khmer rouge, Moise Tschombe, The greek junta, francesco franco and on and on..

Brazilian junta, Fulgencio Batista, Chiang Kai-shek, Syngman Rhee, ...

Highly recommend: Killing Hope by William Blum, it dissects the history of the many authoritarian regimes the U.S. supported since WWII, coups the U.S. engineered, the revolutions it strangled in their infancy, governments it systematically destabilized, and the popular movements it crushed (often under the veneer of “stability” or “containment”).

If you're going to argue that the US support Chiang Kai-shek why not add in Stalin as well?

I'm not sure the US has supported Stalin in the same way, but sure... does that make it less bad?

In those cases those dictators were US proxies. In this case it seems the relationship is reversed.

the masacer began durring the Brittish Palistine Mandate, and has continued for more than 100 years, and that many of the founders of the current Palistine occupation were soldiers in Hitlers army's who hid there identities as way to survive, and accepted, but now comes the end game, where the zionists have figure out how to survive themselves.

Some people like adding "in mice" to headlines about new Alzheimer cures.

To headlines like these, I add "in self-defence"...

Why is this on HN.
