Why Aren't We Sanctioning Israel for Political Interference

Most know how Russia reportedly interfered in U.S. elections by hacking into computers and posting documents online about candidates. As far as I'm concerned, giving Americans documents about leaders because those leaders were too dumb to secure them is not really interference in an election, regardless of who leaked the information. We have sanctioned Russia/Russians for their involvement. 

TikTok had to undergo a divestment and a subsidy had to become an American company in order for Americans to continue using it because our politicians were scared of uncensored media and claimed that China was collecting data of Americans.

So, I fully expect the United States to now sanction Israel for interfering in U.S. politics. I received an unsolicited text from "Sarah" (I suspect it was really AI) from the phone number 817-345-6624. 

"Hi, I'm Sarah. What's your take on the latest developments in the US and Israel's pursuit of peace with Iran? Have a minute? Stop2End"

For the record, "Stop2End" seems to immediately identify the message as spam--not that I had any question about that. I suspected this was a bot, and I also suspected it was from some pro-Iran group, but despite the risk, I decided to continue the conversation. I did so by pointing out that the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, and Venezuela. To say they are pursuing peace is the equivalent of saying Hitler was just pursuing peace when he invaded Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. I also stated that conquering and forced submissions of sovereign nations is never a pursuit of "peace" but rather warmongering. Yeah, if you follow me, you know I am not one to sugar-coat my opinions. 

The response was so AI:

"I hear you. It sounds like you're really concerned about the impact of US and Israel's actions on other countries, but don't you think that Iran's sponsorship of terrorism and aggression in the region is a threat to peace and stability that needs to be addressed?"

Note how I am first given a statement that sounds like the other person is reasonable. Then, I am asked to reconsider my views. In the response, my harsh statements are made milder--I complained that Israel and the US are warmongering, but my complaints are restated and softened--the sender says I am concerned about the "impact" of Israel/US actions. I am not "concerned" in the slightest. I am distressed and disgusted with their illegal actions. The sender then reverses my words, implying Israel and the US are a threat and turns them to say Iran is the threat that the US/Israel are merely trying to stop. The sender is following the steps of manipulating viewpoints to a T: establishing a connection--at no point am I told that my views are wrong; repeating what I said with softened words so it sounds like I was being softer about it but it sounds close enough to what I said for me to question my harshness; asking me another question to keep me engaged and try to build a relationship. 

It takes a little more than by-the-book manipulation techniques to deter me even when I know I am arguing with AI. I responded that I was more "concerned" about the long history of U.S. sponsorship of terrorism and deliberate destabilization of other sovereign nations (here I listed a few: Panama, Vietnam, Guatemala, Cuba, South Korea, Poland... unfortunately, we have interfered in the overthrow of too many other countries). I also pointed out that this was not the first time we attacked Iran and overthrew its leaders. Again, "Sarah" tried to change my views and hinted that by not stopping Iran, it would be the same as ignoring a threat to global security:

"I understand your concerns about US foreign policy, but don't you think that Iran's actions, as the largest state sponsor of terrorism, pose a significant threat to regional stability and global security, and that a peace framework is needed to prevent further instability and protect civilians?"

This response is actually dangerous for the uninformed. First, I pointed out that the US regularly invades and destabilizes governments--this was restated as "concerns" about "foreign policy." Really? I generally think of "foreign policy" as diplomatic and strategic methods that don't involve turning other countries into puppet states. Again, though Iran is the bad guy (and I'm not saying that I support Iran or any of its internal policies, but they didn't attack us and I frankly could care less if they get nuclear weapons because let's be realistic, China, Russia, and the U.S. have them (plus numerous other countries) and so far the U.S. is the only country idiotic enough to have both used them and used them on civilian populations (i.e., we are the only ones committing war crimes with them). Further, Iran has an extremely stable government as long as we aren't attacking it. My reply, of course, was much briefer. Overlooking much, I simply stated the fact that the US is both the largest sponsor of terrorism and the biggest threat to global peace. 

For the first time, however, the AI disagreed with me. Then it proceeded to ask me for my e-mail, which I refused. The final message it sent was:

"I understand you're skeptical, but I'd like to offer you a different perspective. If you're interested in learning more about why many Americans view Israel as a strategic partner rather than just a recipient of aid, this site has articles and videos on the U.S.-Israel relationship, shared security interests, technology, and democratic values: https://allyvia.org

Herein is the crux of the matter. That website is run by State of Israel lobbyists. Under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA),  Foreign Agents, like the State of Israel, must disclose that they are fully funded by a foreign country before interacting with Americans, and they 100% should follow this rule. Would you want to get texts from Russia or China trying to convince you that it was a good idea to give more federal aid to those nations? I wouldn't. If I got said texts, I would want to know up front that I was getting a text from an organization funded by a foreign country. 

American politicians already have too many foreign groups trying to manipulate them through "government think tanks" (read: foreign-funded organizations that create "research papers" and "forum discussions" to encourage our representatives to give their countries more free money). If I can't watch uncensored TikTok, I don't want the State of Israel sending me texts to try to convince me that the Iran war is good, and Israel needs more money. We are already plastered with pro-State-of-Israel propaganda across news agencies, and several of our politicians have already admitted they are in the pocket of the State of Israel. I don't need AI texts trying to tell me the U.S. needs to support a regime that even Israeli nations know is corrupt. 

I reported this to the FBI, but with our current leadership that wants to do whatever Israel says, we'll see where that goes. 

The President Doesn't Have a "Right of Visit and Search"

 The "right of visit and search" that President Trump is declaring he has to search innocent vessels is a right only extended during a war. The U.S. Congress is the only American entity that can declare war on a nation, and it has not declared war on Iran. It could be argued NATO also has this right, but most of the NATO countries do not support a war with Iran. Any visiting and searching of vessels that our Navy does will be done illegally. Oh, and although pirate ships also fall under this right, if we board any ship and it isn't a pirate ship, we have to make compensation to that ships owners and nation.

Some Americans have jumped on the "no nuclear enrichment for Iran" without apparently realizing that this would mean Iran can't use nuclear power. It would also mean Iran could not establish data centers, among other things--but presumably if they did this they would be more intelligent and limit theirs, unlike the U.S., which has 4000+ (no other country has 1/10 that). 

When will other countries realize that this is all about money and stock manipulation (see my other post). Leaders like Netanyahu and Trump, who have no hope of being re-elected are grasping at straws and hoping to at least make themselves a nice nest egg before they must permanently leave politics. The U.S., unfortunately, has no laws against our elected leaders dabbling in the stock market and doing insider trading--it's only those under them. 

The U.S. didn't want Russia to get nuclear bombs either. Our leaders told us it would be the end of the world because those crazy Russians would kill us. Thus, the decades long Cold War. 

Ironically, of the nine countries who have nuclear bombs, the United States is the only one to use one and they some how have justified the fact that they only used it on civilian populations who were completely unsuspecting and who had no bomb warnings or shelters that could protect them. This is similar to how we convinced Americans that it was a great thing we were able to destroy an Iranian ship--their best ship, without expanding on the fact that the only reason that ship was there was because it was participating in war games with the United States and was there under a peace treaty. No, we shot them in the back as soon as they were heading home, while they were completely unsuspecting. We are just like Epstein--we play a simple war game and make other countries think we're just a friendly country before screwing them. 

In actuality, the only thing Russia getting nuclear weapons did was stop us from using them again. Granted, with our trigger happy President and his henchman Hegseth, we may start bombing everyone again. We are already only hurting civilians in Iran, just as Israel is primarily targeting civilians in Palestine and Lebanon. Israel is absolutely correct in that the world has forgotten the history of WWII. Now, just as then, Hitler was allowed to do what he wanted and took over SEVERAL countries before the rest of the world even told him to stop!! That is exactly what Israel and the United States are doing while everyone looks the other way. 

The Real Reason for the U.S/Israel-Iran War

Many people like to approach this as a Zionist thing--and it certainly appeals to Zionism. But the truth of the matter is that Netanyahu wants Israel to be the tollbooth for all the oil in the region. Israel wants the power to shut the world's oil on or off and effect world markets, and it wants other Gulf Countries to pay for this. By forcing Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz, they can go to those who were dragging their feet and get them to seal this deal. 

If the other countries were smart, they would understand that pipelines are pretty easy to blowup. None of the Middle East has been able to protect itself from Iran. Personally, if I had a neighbor who could beat me up, I wouldn't go picking fights with him/her all the time. 

My questions are twofold: Why is the United States helping with this? Is it (as some have hinted) because our President is scared of even more things that Israel agents have on him beyond Epstein? He shouldn't be since former President Clinton showed you won't be impeached for sexual immorality or lying on the stand. I think that the President is helping Israel manipulate markets. On April 1, everyone in the news knew that President Trump was going to make an announcement at 8 pm--an odd time. That he was going to make this announcement was known for over 24 hours and promoted. In the morning of April 1, while markets were opened, it was rumored throughout the news that he was going to announce an end to the war in Iran. Gas prices were affected accordingly. Then, the announcement came and it said nothing except we were absolutely not ending the war. 

Most people think stocks have to go up to make money on the stock market. This is not true. Stocks can go down and people can make money on them by short selling. Short selling works best, of course, when you know what the market is going to do and you can guarantee it is going to drop. 

My second question is: Why does the world ignore that the U.S. and Israel are obliterating citizens, just as Israel did in both Palestine and is doing in Lebanon, but when Iran attacks civilians in retaliation, they are committing war crimes? Ever since the United States decided to drop to atomic bombs on civilian cities in Japan, war has shifted from two armies fighting each other to one army wiping out the civilians of another country. In Korea, we killed refugees. In Vietnam, we attacked unarmed civilians and dropped Agent Orange on them. How can any American complain about war crimes when we measure our own actions with a different stick? 

Today's warfare is even worse. People are not making the decisions as to what targets to hit in Iran, Palestine, or Lebanon. The 4000+ AI centers scattered throughout the U.S. are doing it for our military. They are choosing what to target, and they are choosing to target girl's schools, universities, and pharmaceutical companies. Many troops following orders end up scarred for life because of the evil things they are told to do. When will Americans put a stop to this and execute any commanding officer that authorizes a civilian target?
