USA-Israel relations explained

The global south includes countries that are entirely north of the equator?
It’s a signifier for a politico-economic concept, so yes. Third world is a similar signifier that also doesn’t really align with its original nor intuitive meanings. Semiotics is weird like that.
Either one can be used to signify countries from which resources and labor are extracted by the Global North or something along those lines. Do they find themselves richer or poorer due to global trade?
For example, Australia, in this context, wouldn’t be considered global south despite being in the southern hemisphere. Unless it was harshly colonized and became a resource trough for the USA and Europe, then its politico-economic position would change even though it obviously didn’t change geographically.
Wait till you learn about the American South.

Saying “don’t kill kids is antisemitism”?

Did I say Israel loves killing children? Nice strawman you got there.
The thing is, Israel doesn’t care if Palestinian children die. Israel doesn’t care if Palestinian civilians die. I’m saying that they should care about this. But then, people like you start calling us antisemitic.

Oh yea… Forgot abt the meme lmao. Yea, I concede. The meme’s kinda dumb.
Statements about Israel in general are not antisemitic because Israel is a political entity, not a synonym for Jews or Judaism.
Claiming Israel represents all Jews is antisemitic, though, because Israel is fucking awful and it’s unfair to blame all Jews for it.

Any government that blocks access to food, medicine, and potable water to a population it considers undesirable is a government committing genocide.
Tell me, genocide defender, do the Palestinians deserve genocide?
Are all Palestinians Hamas?
Did Israel back apartheid South Africa when everyone else was sanctioning them?
Did Israel provide weapons to Azerbaijan for their recent ethnic cleansing?
Did Israel help launder $150 million for the Sinaloa cartel?
a lost redditor appears
Calling a Marxist-Leninist ignorant is risky business: you may get a wall of text with footnotes & references.
Our support for Israel […] is the best three billion dollar investment we make. If there were not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region. The United States would have to invent an Israel.
