I'm struggling to work out if you actually believe this, which seems unlikely, or if it's just a plausible facade.

Post from an exec of that group, Trita Parsi: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tritaparsi_this-image-was-sen... I don't take any issue with this pic if it's real, but it seems either fake or not from where he claims. So it's hard to take that org seriously. And yeah tbh that last name makes me take a second look.

What makes you think it's fake or implausible? I'd 100% scribble things like that if I was a bored serviceman in the Middle East.

There are uncensored interviews of former CIA agents conducted by credible reporters like Seymour Hersh. In The Samson Option , several witnesses confirm that Israel had unprecedented access to US spy satellites and convinced the CIA to cover up the (extremely controversial) Dimona facility. Both of those "favors" are beyond anything that most US allies received at the time, especially at Israel's size. Even America'…

« Even America's closest postwar allies like the UK, Sweden and Japan did not get that type of diplomatic cover, it was exclusive to Israel.« wasn’t echelon a joint collaboration between the US and the UK ?

> The sheer volume of comments make it super obvious... Does it though? Remember that the Global South outnumbers the west in terms of population. And the west isn't really as politically popular as westerners like to believe: - Why do some people support Russia's war in Ukraine? - https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/81254/why-do-so... - Why isn't the Global South pro-Israel like the West? - https://politics…

The weirdness is how quickly and randomly those comments show up. Back when I used Reddit, I could mention some sensitive topic in a random place and there'd instantly be what I think are bots voting and commenting on it, sometimes huge comments with tons of links that looked canned.

I get where you are going at, but in the conflict we talk about I am pretty sure both sides are killing children right now. So still complicated. So is the US bombing children in Iran and many other countries in the past years. Is the US the pure evil now? Maybe, but I don't claim to have a final opinion there either

It's not that complicated. 123 died in Iran School bombing event. At least 21,600 Gazan children have died since the beginning of the war [UNICEF] in many events over a long period of time. 21,600 > 123 (Both involved US tax dollars)
