          Exactly. They seem to mean that anyone who isn’t willing to go to war against America and co is not worth listening to.

          But there are other consequences of large swathes of the world having a negative opinion on this, and the article makes some good points.

          From what I hear, the aircraft carriers are mostly a threat to keep any additional actors from throwing their hat in the ring while Israel is distracted.

      I thought we had a whole thing about Russia and Iran and South Africa and Ireland teaming up in a coalition of antisemitism to bring Israel down

        Given Irelands history as a the neighbour of an oppressive stronger neighbour, their criticism.cones from awareness of the Palestinian plight. Criticizing Israel is no antisemitism. Equating Israel’s war like actions with judaism ludicrous. Israel is a sovereign nation that happens to have a large Jewish population (by design), but it’s a modern nation with it’s own interests separate to any religion.
