  • Don’t be confused for a second Egypt refuses cus of morals. Egypt refused take Gaza Strip back from Israel during the peace treaty, where they happily took Sinai Peninsula along with it Bedouin population.

    Hamas is a branch of Muslim Brotherhood, they are illegal in Egypt. They try to force their religion on the country. Being related to the Muslim Brotherhood will get you tortured to death and vanished in Egypt.

    For fuck sakes, 70% of people in Gaza has an Egyptian family name.

    I’m not saying kicking the Gazans out is right. Just pointing out the real reason behind Egypt refusal.


  • If Israel pays the money goes to American workers. Your student loans are the results of systematic failure. Universities don’t need mega stadiums, students shouldn’t need to buy books, admin staff shouldn’t make so much. You also have a weird structure where top researchers make buttload of money, but TA down the pyramid are starving.

    In sane parts of the world universities build libraries, not stadiums. The life of TAs are hard, but they don’t go into debt, top researchers don’t get to pocket piles of gold, they get more research resources and admin staff get normal salaries.

    tl;dr the money is there to give you almost free education, but it’s not a priority.




  • My statement was regarding the current deal, both links are talking about other arm deals.

    The reason US citizens don’t have health care or free higher education is a political choice. You spend more dollars per capita than any other nation, but the system is inefficient. Similar shit goes in higher education. In sane countries students don’t need to buy books, they loan them from the library. They don’t have mega stadiums in universities. Admin are nor racking in piles of gold and academic staff pay is shit. So education doesn’t costs so much.

    The USA doesn’t give Israel free money, they give military aid with strings attached. Israel ‘battle test’ American products, with no danger to American soldiers. More so, the US get the fruits of Israeli R&D, such as Iron Dome, that was developed in Israel and is now manufactured in the US, giving the US army access to it. Israel also hosts American bases in the region.

    As for your second link, who ever wrote it lacks understanding in global trade. The US didn’t deploy aircraft carriers to defend Israel. They deployed them to defend global trade routes from an Iranian proxy. The Houthi “blockade” didn’t cause much harm to Israel’s economy, it harmed other nations much more. This is why a coalition of different countries took part in the attack on the Houthis.
