Okay cool, can we stop supplying weapons and Intel now?
I’m all for the destruction of US hegemony but not at the expense of the people of Palestine.
The US has its fingers in more pies than just Israel. Egypt just got a huge multibillion dollar loan from the IMF thanks to America throwing their support behind them (likely in exchange for building that nifty concentration camp in Sinai).
The people in Arab countries are generally anti imperialism but the leadership can often to be beholden to America through (usually oil based) financial ties. Egypt’s government, for example (because it’s freshest in mind), has repeatedly tried to crack down on pro Palestine protests likely at the behest US handlers. They’re obviously not quite as heavily controlled as Israel, though one could argue that Israel has slipped the leash a bit lately, and Israel’s destruction would be a huge blow, but I don’t feel it would be the killing stroke you and I would like it to be.
