 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.
