    Israel didn’t ditch or disobey America’s commands in any meaningful sense. The idea that America is trying to keep Israel under control while it’s commiting this genocide is propaganda. That is not what’s happening. The US is not issuing commands that Israel is disobeying. What it’s doing is directly giving Israel the tools to commit this genocide. It wouldn’t be able to without the US’s current actions.
