Inspecting its involvement in the ceasefire efforts, some believe the US is really interested in the ceasefire and reaching an end to the bloodshed and Israel’s genocide in Gaza. However, the reality of the situation is the opposite: hypocrisy. The US had only been buying the time needed for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to complete the mission: getting rid of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
Examples of affording enough time for the Israeli occupation forces to complete its planned destruction of the Gaza Strip and continuing to kill as many civilians as possible are beyond being counted. One of the clearest examples is the political support for the Israeli aggression on Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people gathered from different parts of the Gaza Strip.
In the beginning, the US claimed that they had suspended arms support for Israel, and they would not cancel this suspension before obtaining a detailed plan for a “limited operation” in Rafah that would guarantee the safety of civilians and displaced people. US officials continued repeating these remarks in response to regional and international rejection of the aggression on Rafah, giving a cover-up for the destructive Israeli attacks on the southern Gaza city.
Another example is Biden’s ceasefire proposal, used to synthesise the world for months, claiming that Hamas rejected it. The US used to justify the Israeli genocide and blame Hamas for it; however, the Israeli occupation was the perpetrator. When Hamas accepted it, they continued to claim that there were gaps between Israel and Hamas that would be closed through negotiations where Netanyahu did not give meaningful power to the Israeli negotiators in order to delay reaching a deal.
No it isn’t. There are lots of other more fact-based and reasonable ways that could be explained. Though this extremely biased bad faith argument of yours isn’t surprising given your defense of things like houthi child soldiers. Which you were at least temporarily banned for in the news community.
Now just for fun. Let’s pretend for a moment that that your bad faith misrepresentation of the situation were factual and true. If the United States. A country with a large Palestinian population. And Palestinians in government. Has a vested interest in and is an eager and willing to participate in genocide of the Palestinian people. A claim which you yourself personally make several times a day everyday. There must be some sort of clear benefit from it. For the Israelis they get land and resources it’s very clear what they get from it. They don’t get any of the land. They don’t get any of the resources. They don’t get any new bases. Or anything for that matter. And it upsets and amenates a large part of their own population. So since this is your position. what does America logically, directly stand to gain from the extermination of the Palestinian people?
Can you cite where I defended the usage of child soldiers? The WorldNews mods weren’t able to find it
You keep using the word bad faith. Maybe shut the projector off.

Yes. And I will answer your question only after you’ve answered mine. Otherwise all you’re doing is deflection and your usual projection.
The two main ways in which the US benefits from supporting Israel militarily is that it maintains US hegemonic influence in the region and that it greatly benefits the Military Industrial Complex.
Taxes from US citizens subsidize these arms deals, the profit of which goes to those heavily invested in our private Military Contractor companies making the weapons.

Historically, our main geopolitical interests for supporting Israel is counter other foreign interests such as the USSR, and to support our interest in the region such as our invasion of Iraq and Iran for access to natural resources such as oil.

Additionally, the main base of support for the continued military support of Israel, other than capital and geopolitical interests, are Christian Zionists. Which far outnumber all Jewish people, let alone Jewish Zionists, in America.
Yeah. And killing Palestinians actually jeopardizes that. So no the United States sees no benefit from the genocide.
I agree it’s bad policy and bad politics. I was just laying out the historical reasons.
I’m a major advocate for ending unconditional support to Israel, forcing them with international pressure to end the Apartheid, and for a Bi-National One State with equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians including Right of Return for all Refugees
