    If this is true, the US also has a responsibility to rein it in when Israel commits genocide. They could simply withhold arms and they’d stop immediately, which means the US is complicit.

      Take it farther: the US isn’t attempting to rein Israel in because it fully supports the genocide, because the genocide is necessary for the Israeli settler-colonial project to continue. Indigenous resistance makes indefinite occupation and apartheid impossible.

      Look what happened to South Africa once apartheid was defeated, now they’re taking Israel to the ICJ and are a member of BRICS. That would be Israel’s future if its occupation and apartheid are defeated, a democratic river-to-the-sea nation would not be a reliable US ally.

        So much so it would cripple, if not collapse, US Hegemony in the gulf region and beyond

        The US is speedrunning this fascist death cult, which is also unstable and prone to collapse, as is the fate of all fascist regimes
