In reply to the discussion: Israel plans to double settlement in Golan Heights [View all]Budi
(15,325 posts)7. Thank you. The refusal to learn the history & repeat the false messaging is the problem
There are certainly those in the region who seek to benefit from keeping the false message going.
Why is Sen Rand Paul still holding up funds for Iro Dome, a system purely designed for safety in that region?
He is, even tho it's been voted on & approved.
Ukraine has also sought to install a similar Iron Dome system in their region for the sake of safety against those who want to harm them.
Considering all that Paul HAS allowed to be funded, who exactly is he aligned with in preventing this Defensive system for that region?
It is a dangerous move on his part that leaves that region vulnerable to those who seek to upend a Democratic govt.

Israel doesn't seem to want peace. They just want to freely take Palestinian lands.

Since Syria is a dictatorship by the Assad's they are way more anti-democratic then any US party.

The situation is complicated indeed. All the more reason not to rely on selectively picked quotes

Its not a queation of who Paul's aligned with, he's made it clear how it should be paid for.

Israel struck 1st against Eygpt, not Syria, Syria started the hostilities on that front

Still Syria commenced the hostilities with Israel and lost Golan, should have stayed out of it.

Bennett was never a more progressive candidate for PM; he simply wasn't Netanyahu
