 Geopolitics is a lot more complicated than most people (you?) think.

If you think Israel is "The Jews", you're wrong, it's two groups of Jews (Orthodox and Leftist) and they hate each other. The antisemitic image of "The Jews" is a caricature of *Leftist* Jews. Libs of TickTock is Orthodox.

Orthodox Jews are taking over Israel right now, they have control over most of the government except for the Supreme Court. It is expected that when they get power, Israel will become more conservative like KSA.

The Obama power structure has been helping Iran for ages, they did the "nuclear deal" and flew pallet-loads of hundred dollar bills into Iran which was then used to fund ISIS. This 6 billion dollars for Iran is: 1. Something Barry certainly wanted to give Iran and 2. Very probably the money which funded the attack.

Of course meanwhile Iran is manufacturing drones for Russia which are being used against Ukrainians who are shooting back with weapons given to them by Americans. Like I said, complicated. 
 No, they are both equally reprehensible, Vid related.  Orthodox scripture doesn’t necessarily mean you believe the same things or worship the same god (gods), it’s more about observing ritual.  That’s why there’s an entire legal section (talmud) about it.

I think I’m going to put some baileys in my coffee and watch the rockets fly this morning :cheers:

 The advantage (for people like you and I) of the Orthodox group in Israel is that they support of Trump and co, who are battling for power in Western states against the people that are trying to convert us all into sterile little oompa-loompas.

But we commoners don't have any real influence in this fight so having an Irish Coffee and watching the show IS a legit reaction. 
 Now the Big Power Move for Israel right now would be to stir the pot of antisemitism in the West, and to sponsor terrorism against Jews in the West to make them feel like the only place they can sleep safely at night is in Israel, so therefore support of Israel is a survival imperative. 
 Americans giving weapons to all sides at different times could be construed as a divide and conquer strategy but lately I think it’s much less intelligent than that. I actually just think the American regime has a concept of a few years from the present, seriously.
