It seems the original term is accusation in a mirror, coined in 1970 by Roger Mucchielli. There's also an Irish article from 1998 coming awfully close to the more common version. My conclusion: I have no idea.
They've always been in power in Israel; it's just more obvious now. The only Israeli leader who didn't believe Israel has the right to unilaterally murder Palestinians and steal their land is Rabin and they fucking killed him for it.
The people aligned with ISIS were on America's side during the Iraq war.
What people? From what I've understood Al Qaeda in Iraq's predecessor organization was attacking US troops basically right after the invasion.
OK bro, divest bro because obviously the techbros are going to turn America fascist once the boomers implode the world economy in a few years. Just do it bro. Match American military spending bro. You need it bro.
I didn't say that. I said: Threaten to divest from US weapons if America invades Iraq, because it's a morally reprehensible illegal war and because it was predictably going to create a massive refugee crisis right in Europe's backyard.
What exactly could Europe have done to stop the Bush administration from invading Iraq on the completely unfounded pretense that Saddam Hussein had WMD's?
Threaten to stop buying US weapons? Dump US bonds? Impose sanctions? At the very least not send troops? Europe wasn't vassalized enough by America that they couldn't do anything but watch as America created the refugee crisis of the century in their backyard (which, I should say, is still blowing up in their faces).
To be honest I wasn't even alive when the Iraq war started so I have no idea, but looking back the pieces (immigration from the Middle East to Europe being easy, ethnic and religious rivalries in Iraq getting ugly, America's inability/unwillingness to install stable governments abroad) were all there so anyone in a relevant EU role who didn't see it coming should be fired.
A few European countries sent troops, but more importantly there was not a peep from Europe about, you know, not creating another refugee crisis in their backyard. He said oppose, not not support. Europe could've done more to oppose the Iraq war.
Trump was definitely part of that ceasefire, as evidenced by how Netanyahu rejected this exact same deal when Biden proposed it last time in May. If you have a plausible reason that he suddenly changed his mind from even a month earlier (where there were no mentions at all of a ceasefire) then let's hear it, otherwise Trump is the only explanation. We all hate the orange man here but objectively speaking Trump is a lot more plausible as a explanation than Biden's lackluster "negotiations" finally bearing fruit coincidentally right before Trump's inauguration.
I mean so far even if we give him no credit for the ceasefire he hasn't done anything to Palestinians so far. I mean I get that you hate that Trump won but leopards haven't ate that particular group of faces yet.
Hamas wouldn't exist if they had the means; they're a resistance organization.
