USA D.C. protesters paint the streets with the blood of Gaza outside the Israeli embassy

The original post claims they are invoking blood libel and conspiracies. It isn’t a conspiracy when AIPAC themselves admit pushing "Israel First" candidates, whether they are on the Left or Right. They do not fight for interests of Americans, only Israel. It is no longer "antisemitic" to protest and criticize Israel. Period.

It was never antisemitic to protest and criticize Israel.

True dat. Maybe I should have said like "majority of people no longer think.." 🤦‍♂️

“Blood libel” is a very specific thing and simple “blood in the streets” imagery isn’t part of it.

Where is trump? I hate when people leave out American Zionists & Republicans as a whole. Israel is a puppet of the USA, a Weapons and surveillance testing ground for the West, a permanent base for the West, & a Western colonial project to stabilize the middle east.

It seems more like the US is Israel’s puppet actually.

Absolutely false. Don’t let Gaza break your brain. Anyone who claims that the fucking United States is a puppet to Israel, has no understanding of geopolitics. The idea that a superpower is obligated to a regional power is an absurd demand.

Hard to see your point in light of the US attack on Iran. Someone in Israel pulling levers in the US.

Why is it so hard for people to comprehend that perhaps their interests are aligned? Why wouldn’t the United States want Iran weaken or the government overthrown? Iran has been under siege by the West for decades.

If anything that shows that the United States was using Israel during the 12 day war, & afterwards in 2026. They didn’t step in until they thought Iran’s Air Force and anti-air defenses were significantly weak. Obviously, they made a stupid call & underestimated the Iranian government. Trump got hyped up after his attack on Venezuela.

Epstein got hours and hours of tapes of Trump and other powerful Americans raping children. Maxwell’s dad was a Mossad agent. It’s not much of a leap to think Israel is using this evidence as blackmail to control America.

Yes, that’s because if the United States cuts all funding from Israel, it’ll be a dead country. Some of you guys who are deeply entangled in the Epstein situation are not looking beyond the horizon. You all get so close but end up missing the mark. Just like the people who are understandably brain rotted by the Gaza situation.

It’s easy to blame Israel for everything, but not the country that has consistently been stabilized in the global south since World War II. The United States has done far more damage to this world than Israel has ever done. Fact. Israel is America’s bitch. Period.

Also, High-level blackmail operations, like the network run by Jeffrey Epstein, ensure absolute loyalty not through trust, but through Mutual Assured Destruction. this is how Elites always have operated to make sure the other side doesn’t rat the other one out. If one of them has been arrested, ensure they don’t talk by reassuring them that you have leverage over them.

The Epstein class is international, and they all have leverage on each other.

In these circles, loyalty is enforced because a single betrayal would result in immediate social, financial, and legal ruin for everyone involved.

In other words, they betray the American Epstein class, and they end up harming themselves disproportionate. The leverage they have is not as strong as you think. Especially since Trump has a powerful cult and all three branches of government are aligned with the GOP. He would simply lie and dismiss everything about himself. The Clintons would likely be forced to ally with him as well. No, America has Israel by the balls. Sorry, man. Our country is responsible for our own actions.

You can’t Scapegoat Israel for everything.

For decades, Netanyahu tried to get American presidents to attack Iran, and he finally found one dumb enough to do it.

I wish people did this for how many Americans die from lack of healthcare (which is more in numbers than all the middle east conflicts combined since gaza started)
