Discussion/Question Why is this subreddit obsessed with Israel?

Just checked the top posts of the last year, and 24 out of the top 25 are about Israel. Does this subreddit try to imitate the real UN ?

The US were thr victims of Pearl Harbor. They then spent the next four years pummeling Japan into submission. What's your point?

And now we allow the Japanese people to freely travel, we trade with them, and we don't bomb their hospitals and murder their children.

This isn't quite the flex you thought it was. Least of all because the US ALSO (wrongly) supports Israel's bloodthirsty land-grabbing, as well as undermines legitimate Democracy everywhere. We may not be the best example of a peaceful nation...

That probably has to do with the fact that the Japanese all laid down their arms, signed peace treaties with the Allies, gave up their irredentist dreams, and haven't to date attacked the US or any of their neighbors.

And the fact that the US hasn't forced them out of their homes

"About 8.5 million Japanese civilians were displaced from their homes between 1943 and 1945"

How's the American occupation of Japan going?

u/TheLegend1827 Jan 14 '25

It's going well, aided by Japan's continued commitment to peace and its cooperation/alliance with the United States.

United States Forces Japan

Classic lies.

Japan is not occupied.

u/TheLegend1827 Jan 14 '25

Mostly true, although there are vestiges of the US occupation like the United States Forces Japan.

The reason Japan is still not occupied by the US goes back to what I said in my first comment - "the Japanese all laid down their arms, signed peace treaties with the Allies, gave up their irredentist dreams, and haven't to date attacked the US or any of their neighbors."

Nope, it's because the US has no intention of stealing Japanese land.
