    President Biden told Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a call on Saturday that the U.S. won’t support any Israeli counterattack against Iran, a senior White House official told Axios.

    America is already involved …

    Without the billions of dollars we give them, and the military support of putting troopa and ships right off the coast, Israel never would have attacked Iran to begin with.

    But even if that wasn’t true, Biden has a horrible record of not assisting with Israels genocides.

          Will it do any good to attempt to explain it again? Or the fact that grammatically there was an attack last night, so a response to that would be a counterattack? Probably not.

            So by your logic, every act of aggression involving Israel…

            Has been a counterattack for foreign governments seizing land from natives and giving it to a religious group to found Israel?

            Gotta say, never thought I’d agree with you. But yeah, that’s accurate.

              Attack. Counterattack. It’s really very simple, and it doesn’t matter where in the world it happens.

                  In my experience in the US at least, most of the people I interact with seem to believe Israel has always been it’s own sovereign nation, and the only conflicts that have arisen have been started by others.

                  Also Current genocide “defensive attacks” against Gaza civilians “hamas” also totally just started this past year, definitely not an ongoing extermination.

                    No nation has “always” been a sovereign nation. The US has been one for less time than most of the developed world.

                    I refuse to acknowledge any further inciting or inflammatory comments from you.

        Yep, it should have said counter-counter-attack to Iran. Btw attack on Iran after attack on Lebanon after genocide in Gaza is ok, Biden approves.
