    Well I’m not an expert, but I could tell a long time ago that Israel is commiting a genocide.

    Everybody is aware. The only ones not admitting it are the governments supporting it.

      Israeli govt has been pretty clear that it wants to occupy and depopulate the whole region. The perp openly admits the crime, and still the US, UK, Germany line up to send them the funding, weapons, and diplomatic cover to commit it. Despicable state of affairs.

    My only wish is that Americans would shut up and get in the back of the line as they only cheapen any attempt to help Palestine. My country got wrecked by Americans who are now moralizing and being the world police again. I wish they would just sit down and let another country lead the charge.

      I mean if it’s any consolation, America under the leadership of Trump or Vance isn’t going to do jack shit to help Palestine or anyone else. They’re literally fucking over their own people and telling them that empathy is a sickness.

      Rest assured if any country is going to be leading the charge it won’t be America. The entire country is on the verge of complete collapse. I would actually be more surprised if it doesn’t happen at this point. It’s pretty much inevitable. That’s not hyperbole, collapse of the U.S. and democracy and division into smaller city state monarchies is literally the goal of this administration. If that happens, North Korea levels of isolationist policy is the only possible outcome.

      Fuck another country.

      We need to rebuild the UN from scratch, start over. This time, no veto rights for anyone. This time, give the fucker teeth. Give it the atrong Army it needs. If some dictator, be it a Korean one, a Chinese one, a European one, a Russia one, or an American one, decides to behave like an asshole we can send the actual world police on their asses, and this time it will be a police that is guided by ALL of humanity, not just a rich few assholes that can buy a politician to veto anything useful the UN could decide.

    Everybody says that Israel is committing genocide. Even some Republicans are boasting about it, even the Israeli government is boasting about it without using the word specifically.

    At this point you’d be hard pressed to find anyone that would deny it’s a genocide, except for using the word

    Idk, maybe we should let Isreal kill another 10th of Palestine’s population just to make sure this is a real genocide and not some light ethnic cleansing.

    Fuck Israel. It’s time to forget what happened in 1940-45 and realise that Israel is doing the exact thing that the nazis used to do against anyone who they didn’t like. Israel does not like any Palestinian. So let’s be honest here and forget history for a minute and look at what is happening in Gaza. Hamas is rotten to the core but Israel is looking even worse now. Also, why aren’t any Arab countries doing something to end this instead of staying on the sidelines?

      I get where you’re coming from, but slow your roll on “It’s time to forget what happened in 1940-45”.

      Understanding history is a vital part of not repeating mistakes.

          Perhaps I was too poetic: that was my point.

          You can’t point to the IDF and say, ‘Hey! Look! See how they’re doing the same shit Nazis did??’ if people aren’t well informed about all the shit that Nazis did.

        He means lets stop allowing them to hide behind 6 million dead people to deflect, or worse, justify, what they are doing today.

          Yes, I understand that. Which is why it would be a mistake to forget it.

          It’s not coincidental that the Holocaust is our most useful case study in understanding and explaining Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. If you want to oppose genocide, it is a mistake to try to do so by “forgetting” about a genocide. Remembering previous genocides is an important part of preventing/halting genocides.

      Because the last time they did, most of the Sinai peninsula ended up under Israeli control.

    Well, duh!

    Funny how with any other country the west has a hair trigger with calling out genocide, but Israel gets a free pass somehow.

      You’re quoting a neonazi white supremacist to assert what? That Israel rules over us?
      Come on, that’s not a good look is it.

        Sorry did not know that was a supremacist. I just remembered that quote from somewhere. Regardless of the source, it rings true. Be it Israel, trump, religion, etc.

        Just looked up the Wikipedia article. That guy was seriously fucked up. My bad.

          Whoever downvoted you is wrong. You made a mistake, owned up, and learned from it. That is admirable. More power to your elbow, friend. (And always look up the people you’re quoting!)
