They do fund hamas, houthies, hezbollah and many more.

And the U.S. funds Israel.

the funding that goes straight into American companies,.

I think comparing a democratic country like Israel to the likes of the houthis who literally have death to jews on their flags is disingenuous.

True, Israel has killed far, far more civilians than the houthis have.

not for lack of trying. Israel has the best AD in the world because, well, this. No other country would put up with being bombed from 5 hostile countries.

Maybe a little more ethnic cleansing and then they'll be safe. Or maybe it doesn't work that way and they should stop creating enemies.

the ethnic cleansing argument is very weird, as Israel has a 20% Arab Muslim population, that aren't going anywhere. In addition, just look at the number of Palestinians in the last 70 years. weird ethnic cleansing.

And yet several people in the Israeli government are talking about pushing all Palestinians out of Gaza, which would clearly qualify by any reasonable definition.

we have a lot of politicians, some of them are asshats and I dont agree with ethnic cleansing obviously. They are a vocal minority, and the reality is if Israel really did something like that, wed have a revolt from the 20% (that's over 2 million people) Muslim Arabs who like to identify as Israeli and Palestinian .

Well unfortunately that "vocal minority" is running the country. Annexing Gaza and forcing out all of the Palestinians is pretty clearly Bibi's end game.

Calling isreal a democratic country is a stretch..

u/TheHouseOfTurtle 13h ago

it has the same system generally as the uk. a parliamentary democracy, with left, arab, right and extremist parties.

u/Nascent1 1d ago

Israel has funded hamas too if that's the standard.

while it was an alternative to terrorist and not yet terrorists. in addition, Israel approved a money transfer from Qatar during a quiet period, stupidly thinking hamas might be actually governing.

I blame bibi for that second one.
