    Israel builds their own weapons and have for many years. The US and many others but them though and that supports them.

    Not only does the United States supply Israel with weaponry, it also provides them with literally billions of dollars for military spending, which it's able to spend in its own military industry. It's pretty fucked up.

    Pretty sure that quit being true round 1985. At this point, even with no military aid, it's a "real country" and ending it would be expensive in every sense of the word for all trying.

    A recent U.S. intelligence estimate indicated that Israel’s current weapons stockpiles only enables it to wage war against Gaza for an additional 19 weeks, unless Washington sends more ammunition.

    Russia aiding Israel would probably place it in opposition to Iran. This might actually be a good time to move support from israel to ukraine and just see what happens.

    Yup...Israel said Hamas was flying the supply planes from the US. They were right when they said that it was actually Hamas that blew up every single hospital in Gaza, so I have no reason to doubt them. (/s, for the fucking jamokes would believe this, or any bullshit Israel spews, to be true)

    Every service member is entitled to defend themselves. Some do it by launching flares. Others do it by firing anti radiation missiles at any missile system doing enough to target them.

    But honestly, the Israelis aren't going to do that. They aren't cartoon villains. They are smart and know exactly what they want and how to get there.

    Yeah cartoon villains usually don’t commit genocide, and see the thing here is that Israel has no fucking clue how to get where they want to go and they are blindly engaging in mass violence that will ensure Israel will be unsafe for decades to come (can you imagine how badly you would want to hurt the people who murdered your entire family for no reason?).

    You can be veryyyyy smart and still be a fascist at the same time unfortunately.
