  • This article is from 7 months ago so it is more. Some people just want to feed children and their trucks are being blown up. It is fucking horrible.

    I ask you these questions because these are the questions I have asked myself and I always end with the same conclusion. Israel is an information super power. The US needs Israel more than vice versa. The infromation provided by Israel has helped keep the US and other allies safe.

    The question I get asked is “if that information is so valuable, then why didn’t they keep themselves safe?” They did know about the attacks. Israel allowed the attack to happen thinking it would allow them in the eyes of the public to take Palestine.

    Wikipedia link - look at the “Events leading to the attack” and the “Israeli intelligence failure” sections.

    You should always listen to context. Languages are not competely logical.

    The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America, between Canada and Mexico.

    Source: Wikipedia

    This has been pretty much true for every country I have visited or lived in, except one time in France some one referred to my Canadian cousin as American.

    “America” or “Americas” can refer to the continents which is why you should pay attention to context. When someone says they have an American citizenship, they are not citizens of a continent.

    In this comic, if someone is in North America, when they say America, they are referring to USA.

    The comic’s usage of “America” is correct.
