Journalist for the Guardian get fired for tweeting: “Did you know that the US Congress is not actually allowed to authorize any new spending unless a portion of it is directed toward buying weapons for Israel? It’s the law.”

The full article is very long.
But even after deleting the tweet and trying his hardest to be apologetic, he still was let go.

Fake news on top of fake news. He wasn't let go or fired from what I can tell. The last image is more of a sternly worded letter.

The problem is that 1) you possess a sheep mentality and are unable to think or exercise logic of your own free will, and in fact are not even capable of thought outside the societal norms you've been indoctrinated with, 2) science has not yet caught up with the subtle levels of energy of which the occult and other metaphysical phenomenon occur, and 3) even if you were capable of free thought and science were able to measure these phenomenon, you are not intelligent enough to comprehend any of it.
I mean, I could try explaining it to you. But is it worth my time? You are already of the mindset that jerking off to tranny porn is completely harmless so long as the men have makeup on. It seems their agenda has done permanent damage to your mind and you are beyond reach.

Where is the lie?
1 tenebrous_cloud 2021-02-12
The lie was that congress needs a law to do this. In reality they do it for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
3 JanetYellensFuckboy 2021-02-12
The actual truth is that we subsidize Isreal with caveats, mainly that they must spend it on American firms. This advances multiple interests, including:
Arming a strong ally in a part of the world surrounded by antagonistic foreign powers, who also let us use local bases, and it creates uniform standard synergies
Bolsters our economy and increases competition through national firms' innovation, which in turn produced military equipment which other countries buy
Makes them reliant upon American military
It's a lot more than giving Evil Bibi a fat payday to dunk on Palatinian children out of Judeo-Christian nationalism or whatever. It's a strategic investment in maintaining hegemony. But can't let (((facts))) get in the way of a juicy narrative for laymen that prints money, now can we?
I write this as someone who's relatively dovish, too

Imagine not wanting a foothold in the one country you can trust in the garbage dump that is the Middle East.
Also Israel has a right to exist for the sole reason that it causes anti-imperialist pussies to twist and turn trying not to be labeled anti-Semitic

1 johannesalthusius 2021-02-12
I mean you can trust Israel to look out for itself, which is the greatest form of trust possible in the anarchy of international affairs.
Compare to, say, Germany, who desperately tries to look like the good guy while having no balls to back their convictions, so they flip flop like a trout on a dock. One day they'll act really concerned about America droning people, the next day they'll build a pipeline straight to Russia.

2 AugustinesBitchBoy 2021-02-12
Okay but we've all been there once or twice. Still better than literally anything 2000miles to the east.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
Saudi Arabia was a major pillar of American global hegemony. Far more so than Israel, which doesn't actually provide anything to America. Israel has only ever been a liability.
Your suggestion that everything in the Middle East is shit only suggests that we shouldn't fuck around there at all. Of course, that will never happen, because every dollar of Israeli lobby money is dedicated to keeping America fucking around in the Middle East.
1 UpvoteIfYouDare 2021-02-12
Saudi Arabia is a complete clown-car of a country, dude.
And the money going to Saudi Arabia isn't?
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
That money is paying for the petrodollar
But I think you're confused. I was talking about the money that goes to American politicians on behalf of Israel, not the money that goes to Israel.
1 UpvoteIfYouDare 2021-02-12
The Saudis have a massive lobby in the US. US aid to Saudi Arabia has a similar angle as aid to Israel, too, in terms of military hardware purchases.
Also, the "petrodollar" exists because of the USD, not the other way around.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
No, it exists because Saudi Arabia decided that was going to be the currency accepted.
1 UpvoteIfYouDare 2021-02-12
Oh, Saudi Arabia decided? Rofl. Are you referring to the FDR meeting?
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
I'm referring to their continuing influence as a founding member of OPEC...
1 UpvoteIfYouDare 2021-02-12
Yeah, they're not powerless by any means, but the petrodollar itself is entirely reliant on SWIFT, which forms the core of the entire global financial system. The US began building this system at the end of WW2 alongside the Marshall Plan.
This is why Iran is so pissed off about those US financial sanctions and the freezing of their financial assets. It basically locks them out of the global economy, for the most part.
1 PUBLIQclopAccountant 2021-02-12
Bruh. At least the Israelis know how to win wars. The rest of the so-called US allies in the Middle East are useful solely for them letting the US use their land for military bases.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
How does Israel killing their neighbors benefit me?
1 PUBLIQclopAccountant 2021-02-12
It doesn't. Neither does paying for tinpot dictators favorable to petrochemical interests. They can't even bomb a Yemani mud hut properly. Let them all earn their own fate among themselves.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
I couldn't agree more, so why did you bring it up?
1 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12
Do you not remember how Israel turned the Egyptoids, the strongest Soviet-aligned country in the region, into an American vassal?
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
What did I get out of that again?
1 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12
An American-led liberal world order.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
Again, what did I get out of that?
1 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12
Idk about you but that seems to be an objective of America.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
That doesn't answer my question
1 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12
Your question shifts the goalposts just a smidge.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
Oh , cool. I posted that yesterday.
Instead we'll go back and I'll point out that Israel pissing off its neighbors doesn't actually further American global hegemony. Instead, it's existence only served as a catalyst for hastening the end of American global hegemony.
Resources and political capital expended on the Middle East for the purpose of preserving Israel occurred simultaneously with the growth of regional powers elsewhere.
1 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12
Yeah bro Islamists and Arab Socialists hate America and the Western world in general cause of Israel . They'd love us otherwise.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
They probably wouldn't think about America at all, given that we wouldn't be bombing them or fucking around in their part of the world at all without Israel.
1 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12
Yeah America only has allies and interests in the Middle East because of Israel. In fact the only reason the Cold War happened was Israel.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
During the Cold War those people you were claiming would hate America regardless were very useful to America.
1 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12
For example Egypt after Israel defeated them multiple times and they decided maybe it's better to ally with America instead of the Soviets.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
Was mostly talking about Afghanistan, actually. Too bad about how that turned out, thanks to our pals Israel.
1 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12
And here I was thinking the most powerful country in the Arab world was more important than some goat rapists in the mountains who only sided with us because the Soviets invaded them. Silly me.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
It's only that because of the things we give it. Any country given what's been given to Israel would claim that title.
1 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12
I'm talking about Egypt and it was the most powerful country in the Arab world because of it's massive population and armaments from the Soviets. Not to mention Israel was winning wars against the combined Arab world way before it had American support.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
Israel has never existed without western support.
2 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12
R-slur moment. Israel originally was supported by the commies and fought with weapons shipped from Czechoslovakia. Serious American aid started after Israel was already winning it's last major war.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
Lmao the US and more significantly The Brits were involved before Israel even came into existence.
2 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12
Yeah those kind words really contributed to the wars Israel fought and really are comparable to a superpower directly arming and training Israel's enemies.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
Given that those words, along with the actions taken by the US and Brits before and after the creation of Israel, were completely necessary to create the state of Israel... Yeah.
Israel has never existed independently of western powers. They created it, and when they're gone it will be too.
2 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12
The world powers unanimously agreed to create it, Western and not. America did nothing to actually create it other than agree it should exist. Again, the primary ally of Israel at creation was the Soviet Union. American support in any significant form other than words began during the Yom Kippur war and aid actually arrived when Israel was already destroying Egyptian and Syrian armies.
Unbelievable levels of cope lmao. Israel exists because it's surrounded by r-slus that couldn't defeat a tiny country with full material support, advisors and even occasional military action of the Soviet Union.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
Simply not true. And again, you keep ignoring the fact that the seed that would become Israel required the British long before Israel ever existed.
You should be really brush up on the history of the nation you're such a big fan of. Hell, maybe reach out and get yourself some cash too. They pay people to do what you're doing for free.
2 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12
Ok and? That has nothing to do with Israel winning wars on it's own. The Brits did do a good thing by letting Jews immigrate to Palestine though. For the record they abstained on the vote creating Israel though.
If you unironically believe the average redditor story of how America is the reason Israel won its wars you're the one that needs to read up.
I'd suggest the same to you but unfortunately I doubt Israel's enemies experiencing economic collapse can pay you much.
1 Leylinus 2021-02-12
Oh I'd totally do it for Israel if they paid me. I could make pro-Israeli arguments just as easily, yours are just incorrect. Hit me with the deets if you know how I can join JIDF no meme.
2 KissingerFanBoy 2021-02-12

2 genuinegrill 2021-02-12
The US has a significant amount of troops stationed in Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, and the UAE. The US military presence in Israel is minuscule, other than a bunch of military equipment kept there.
This is not to say that Israel isn't one of our greatest allies, but to show that we have clearly cultivated relationships with other countries in the Middle East as well.
1 McFluff_TheCrimeCat 2021-02-12
Who’s twisting? We can drop you zionist there and let the people who want to leave out and then cut all funding for Israel and everyone who stays that’s not a child gets to be an enemy combatant. Done.
