This is some chicken/egg shit. Did the US learn from IDF? Or is that part of the training IDF got from the US?

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago

The US learned if from the IDF. Even Guantamo Bay from the Iraq invasion was inspired by IDF torture camps, namely Ofer prison

Get out of here with your cloaked whataboutism.

Is it honestly whataboutism when one is state is funded and armed by the other? Both politically influencing the other and essentially perfectly aligned? Israel may as well be a US territory at this point, every day it becomes less useful to treat the two separately

Yeah, I am quite confused about that accusation
