        It does get weaponized by pro russia but it is still a fact. Israel and nato are allies

        Yup, it is though as if all NATO members are on the same page with regards to Israel. Spain, Turkey and Italy do not support Israel and yet are in NATO. It’s the usual Russian talking point to speak of NATO as if the latter is one homogeneous group that thinks as one, when in reality each members operate autonomously with their own interest.

        OP is sowing discord on NATO with the ridiculous title post, which is what Russia is doing and wants to happen. They captured Washington after all with Trump being in office. No matter, Russia will fall anyway after the war in Ukraine, and so is USA because of Trump. Who’d come out on top is China after Ukraine and Trump, but Beijing will have Kremlin firmly under its thumb.

          It’s not a russian talking point to make nato the boogeyman every chance it gets?

            How would one criticize nato with that mindset?

            Or is critique off the table for daddy nato in your fascist utopia?

            Nato is shit with or without russia, but keep sticking your head in the sand

              Nato is not responsible for israel. They are a deterrent for countries like russia to invade member countries. And yeah they are pretty shit, and lots of shitty members, but it has nothing to do with this. The only one attacking nato constantly is russia cause they can’t invade all the countries they want now, like finland. That’s why I also assume anyone wording thing like nato-backed israel is a russian troll.

      IDF is backed by the US, the UK, and Germany, three of the biggest NATO members.

      It’s a standard kernel-of-truth propaganda framing.

        As a US citizen, I can tell you the US is a mess right now.

        Projecting our recent filth on every one of our allies is intellectually dishonest behavior.

        The same can be said for the others. There’s a seriously concerning paradigm shift taking place where democracy and decency is under attack.

        When the nations outside of NATO are perfect, then let’s talk.

        That said, Israel is straight up a serious fucking problem. The genocides they are taking part in are fucking awful. That needs to be dealt with. That nation shouldn’t have allies right now, and it’s placed massive tension on NATO’s members that openly oppose the actions.

          The kernel of truth to the propaganda statement starting with “NATO-equipped soldier…” is that Israel’s military is heavily funded colonial project, supported primarily by the US.

          I live in Canada and the Liberals here have also given material aid to the Gaza occupation.

          Israel uses the NATO supply chain to bypass weapons restrictions from host many countries. For example The Netherlands is also using the NATO supply chain to send their F35 parts to Israel using the same loophole of giving it to the US which can then send it to Israel.

          Many of the weapons transport flights for Israel are also done through NATO bases.

            At least in our case the US is the only country we sell weapons to that is allowed to resell them to countries we block.

            Our current government voted down a proposal to close this loophole.

          That’s the whole game isn’t it, neither of us think it’s actually true.

          I call it a “kernel of truth”, you call it “basically the whole truth”. Same same.

            Both of us know Israel receives almost all of their their weapons from NATO countries through the NATO supply chain but one of us has to lie about it.

      Well, the United States, and most of Europe, many of whom are NATO members, have backed Israel to the hilt for most of its history, and been its primary benefactors.

      Not sure why you’re playing dumb here, when there’s a fucking crime against humanity on your screen right now.
