Whaaat? no! I think that the words YOU SAID are antisemetic, and incorrect
These words. This is incorrect, you have it backwards. It is capitalism, and the systems which hold it in place, that do these things.
No I'm not! We agree about that! However, your analysis that Israel is in charge of US capital, is incorrect, and your words are very similar to very common antisemetic bullshit that you see everywhere, often said by people who DO think that israel = all jewish people
correct
correct
Idk, I think you and I are just talking past each other here, I am flabbergasted because each of your replies was completely unrelated to the things I was trying to say, not sure if I just fucked up my explanations or WHAT but
fuck off you scumbag, saying I'm somehow supporting genocide, can you even fucking read? holy shit
Thank you I will
Don't be so hasty, there are people who are addressing you in a somewhat more even-handed manner too. Are you sincere with the thoughts that you're expressing?
AIPAC obviously does not control Washington, Washington permits AIPAC to help keeps its minions (congresspeople, etc.) in line. It makes no sense to assert that Israel was able to do a hostile takeover of one of the ~3 countries that founded it (and also the other surviving founder, the UK, and several other countries) by spending money that their founders gave them.
No one is defending genocide and it's a really gross thing to say that they are, one that comes off as extremely dishonest and manipulative, though I can't rule out that you just aren't following what is being said to you. Everyone here agrees that Israel is committing genocide and in fact that it should be destroyed. The disagreement is specifically that Israel dominates the US, because it is a rabid attack dog the US uses to attack and destabilize its opponents in the Middle East. "Israel isn't controlling the US" isn't meant to defend Israel's character; if it could simply dictate what the US does, it absolutely would, but it does not have that power and this attempt to basically externalize the misdeeds of the US to the agency of Israel is a trap for one's political analysis.
Also, respond to my other comment where I go over these things in more detail.
He's not gonna, he's just gonna say some more unhinged .midwest shit after not reading your comment at all, then call you a genocide defender also
He's talking past people a little (he's already spoken past me some) but I'm still interested in seeing what he says, even if it's just a justification that believing that global capital exists is such a conspiracy theory that it's not worth engaging with (which is basically what he said before, admittedly). At worst, it could be funny.
