    It goes both ways. Israel as always been a proxy for doing the US’ dirty business in the region.

      Saudi, Jordan and Egypt have been far better than israel. They host tonnes of American bases, are far more controllable and don’t try to bomb Iranian embassies to start World War 3.

        There’s your problem, you think the US disapproves of bombing the Iranian embassy. They don’t, they just won’t do it themselves. Bases are one thing, but Israel has, continues, and will provide plausible deniability for some truly disgusting actions.

          America doesn’t want war with Iran.

          Israel is trying to escalate their war and involve America. Especially Netanyahu who is looking stay at war as long as possible

          By bombing the Iranian embassy and committing other grave war crimes Iran will have to respond. At which point israel calls big brother Joe Biden to “defend them” against Iran. Thus dragging America into World War 3.

            America doesn’t want war with Iran.

            That’s the funniest shit I’ve heard all week!

            America has been saber rattling at Iran since the assassination of Mosadegh.

            They propped up Sadam Hussein to fight a bloody proxy war against them, and then turned on him when he demanded reparations.

              Israel is the party that keeps trying to egg America on into starting wars with Iran. The Iraq invasion was also heavily pushed by israel

              Trump: Israel was part of plans to kill Qassem Soleimani, backed out at last moment

              “When we took out Soleimani, you know Israel was supposed to do it with us. Two days before the take-out, they said, ‘We can’t do it. We can’t do it.’ I said ‘What?’ ‘We can’t do it,'” the Republican presidential frontrunner told Fox News.

              “Then I had a certain general, who’s great, I said, ‘So General, do we do it ourselves?’ He said, ‘We can, sir, it’s up to you.’ I said, ‘We’ll do it,'” Trump continued.

              “But Israel was a part of it. You know, Bibi was a big part of it. And we had everything planned, everything. Because what [Soleimani did] was terrible. What he did to us was terrible. Killed so many of our soldiers. Killed so many people,” he added, using the nickname of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
