Why does American media have such a hard time talking about Israel being an apartheid state, when it’s an established fact?
minus-squareHobbitFoot @thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14arrow-down1·26 days agoNah. The USA has got troops in far friendlier and less problematic countries. The USA’s protection of Israel has more to do with Israel investing in American politics than whatever Israel contributes to America.
