Israel's invasion of Gaza could be considered a proxy war

It is a stretch, but it's also a proxy war funded by the US that escalated several fold under Biden

It isn't as much of a stretch as that created by Israel sticking their hands far up U.S. govt's ass.

Wait, so the US is the puppet? Is the US fighting Israel's proxy war? Do you people even know what you're saying when you say stuff like this?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Of course not! US bad it’s as simple as that.

A proxy war implies they're using another nation to fight an enemy. Which enemy are they fighting? Palestine is not an enemy or threat to the US.

You could consider Ukraine as potentially a proxy war, but you'd have to be pretty stupid or pretty mislead to think Gaza is.

What do you mean "Source?" Are you asking for a source that Israel invaded Gaza? A source that the US funded it? A source that it escalated during Biden's presidency?

They're "stinkyonions".
They're asking for sauce.

Are you implying that on a quiet morning somewhere around last October, Biden gave Bibi a call and ordered him to escalate?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

I don't see how. you would need to consider any military action by any ally then as a proxy war for any nation. So it would be a proxy ware for most of europe to and asia and a good part of both africa and the americas.
