    Israel really has us by the balls, don’t they? Maybe I missed something in history class but I’m pretty sure that the United States was founded on the principle of self determination.

      Self determination for who? For rich, land-owning, white males.

      The US was founded on the same genocidal settler-colonialism as Israel.

      The US was founded because the king said stop going further west and killing indigenous peoples. They took offense to this and a few years later threw some tea in the water.
