    Why is the US so soft on Israel killing US citizens, but so harsh on… anyone else that does it?

      I mean, the Saudis did it a few years ago and we really didn’t raise much of a stink.

          The US makes Billions of dollars annually from Saudi Arabia and Israel, so they don’t care when either of them murder, torture or rape people even when it’s children.

          There is also the Abraham Accords. Saudi Arabia was on the way to recognize Israel until October 7 happened.

        I mean, y’all raised one hell of a stink about it, in Iraq, and every airport in the world.

            Oof, I’d forgotten about that.

            It seem like the “American lives” bit is a front for already having a reason to do something but not wanting to admit it. Thought that’s just normal international diplomacy world wide.
