      What a boomer question…

      They want the US to stop supplying weapons to a genocidal state and actually put pressure on Israel to stop with the wanton destruction. The US is propping up it’s ally with millions of $ in bombs, missiles, and other such weapons in what are ultimately being used to murder men, women, and children that have nothing to do with this war besides live in Gaza. The IDF is murdering, raping, executing, humiliating, mauling, torturing, and harming men, women, and children. Fuck them. The US should not be supporting this sort of treatment of civilians. Did that answer your pedantic, little “gotcha” question gramps?

        Unfortunately the military industrial complex demands to be fed and all we have right now are proxy wars. So propping up the IDF it is (along with the much more worthy support of Ukraine)

          Damn, if only there were more than just the two options. I mean, we stop funding genocide and then Hamas immediately wins, that’s the only possible way it could go, right?

          In 6-months, Israel has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians, and wounded more than 78,000.

          70% of those casualties are women and children.

          Israel has destroyed more than 221,000 housing units, leaving almost half the population homeless.

          Israel has decimated their civilian infrastructure, electricity, water, and sewage.

          Israel has destroyed 26 hospitals, killed more than 400 healthcare workers.

          Israel has destroyed every single University in Gaza, 56 different schools, and badly damaged hundreds more, leaving over half a million students without access to education.

          Israel has violated international law. It has blocked foreign aid to help these people, leaving them starving, sick, destitute, and dying…

          …and yet, it’s apparent that you believe that it’s okay for the IDF to do this. The fact that you even have the gall to comment on this either means that you’re so belligerently ignorant of the situation that you legitimately believe that the IDF is in the “right” here - in which case, you’re a reactionist, a weaponized pawn that merely gets angry at what they are told to be angry at (i.e. you are no better than a herded sheep)…or…this means that you legitimately think this is acceptable behaviors, and you exemplify the sickness in humanity that exists today. That wanton death and destruction is okay to you is frankly revolting, and the world will be a better place when you and people like you are gone from it.

          So let Hamas, a terrorist organization, run rampant on Israel right?

          Instead we’re letting Israel run rampant on civilians and allowing them to slaughter thousands upon thousands and throw them in mass graves.

          Fukkin boomers…

            Yeah what reality do people live in where anything that happens in Gaza could ever be seen as “Hamas running rampant on Israel”?

            And many of these people truly believe this.The delusion.

              But they don’t because they actually value life, unlike the baby killing, house people snatching low life animals that are Hamas.

              AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA what the fuck are you even on about? Bruh, you literally describe to a T what Israel is doing and then blame Hamas. Or did I miss the 75 years of Hamas bulldozing houses for settlers?

              Go cheer on Israel throwing more bodies in a mass grave and lying about the shit they find to gullible rubes.

              You all need to stop believing Hamas Israeli funded news sites and look at how they actually, and cowardly, fight Israel the Palestinian people.

              “Hamas funded news sites” lol stop, you’re (figuratively) killing me like Israel (literally) murders people in refuge camps and humanitarian corridors.

              Edit: I just really have to come back and point out how stupid this comment is

              because they actually value life

              Because if they actually cared about human life they’d open up aid and not withhold food and water as collective punishments against the uprising caused by decades of Israel not giving a shit about Palestinian lives.

                If anyone was wondering if propaganda works, just take a look at that person’s comment… This person clearly does not see Palestinians as human. Not an exaggeration this time. This is what compulsory military service (funded by the largest and most advanced military in the world) in a literal ethnostsate looks like.

              Israel could exterminate every single living thing in that area in a matter of hours if they wanted to.

              Oh wow they should be commended for… not being even more awful than they already are.

              What a fucking braindead argument.

      Just getting those in power to listen to their good side is a victory. Let the diplomats work out the details.

      Maybe the side that has 1000x the military capabilities could respond proportionately for once in history? Maybe stop murdering children for throwing rocks at IDF soldiers? Maybe don’t indiscriminately kill women and children or bomb hospitals and schools?

      Pretty straightforward.
