I didn't want to direct this question to Americans specifically because, at this point, other countries have shown support to Israel in one or the other way. If my country was financing this, I would be taking the streets. Shit, I'm right now in the hospital but all I can think about is protesting anyway just to feel I did something to stop this madness.
Are you doing something about this? Are you feeling unsettled? How do you feel about all this mess?
EDIT: So, buying Chinese stuff takes the USS Gerald Ford to Gaza’s coast. Also, TIL that that chocolate my cousin gave me when she was 20 and I was 5, (delicious stuff!) made me a slavist-ish. The fact remains, this genocide is being paid and supported by taxpayers money; of course, I was hoping that most of us didn’t pay taxes wishing for this. Thank you all for your responses, some of them were hard to swallow.
How about this, remove the blockade on Gaza, give everyone there citizenship and become a secular state.
When has Israel not leveled civilian buildings? Have you not seen charts comparing Israeli casualties to Palestinian ones?
I think Palestinians should be the ones who should be angry for the way Israel has treated them since inception.
I have so much to say over this comment. I'll try to be concise.
Read a little about the history of the conflict, as well as about peace talks and different offers that Israel made.
Then maybe Israel shouldn't have funded them.
The US-backed dictatorship in Egypt is doing the US's bidding? You don't say...
Israel hasn't made much distinction between combatants and non-combatants since 1949 - can't blame Hamas for playing by Israel's rules.
Right, because there are vast tracts of unused real estate in one of the most densely populated areas on the planet, eh?
There is no such thng as a "surgical" artillery shell, Clyde. And as for the claim itself... the IDF is no more trustworthy than the Apartheid security forces were.
Fuck Israel.
So weird that Palestinians would choose to live like this without the influence of any other party. They even built a huge wall around themselves to keep other people out.
See I’m against that. I think that individuals and groups have a right to be armed. Putting a blockade around a people to prevent them from getting weapons is a violation of those people’s rights.
