The Israeli fascist politician Smotrich openly said it's moral to let 2,000,000 people starve to death in Gaza.

Stop being in denial of what we are dealing with here. This is a genocidal fascist regime that is comfortable throwing around Holocaust-level numbers of dead civilians.

Nothing to see here, just an Israeli minister saying it’s justified to kill 2,000,000 Palestinians by starving them. I wonder if Western media will decide that the official of a state accused of genocide at the ICJ justifying genocide and starvation is newsworthy. Quiet so far…

@ayoub I sincerely believe that, at least implicitly, this represents a wide swath of the American perspective, also.

When you attempt to present the Palestinian case, even to supposed liberals, the response is, "Well, they can't allow the terrorists to persist."

In other words, despite the appalling destruction and ongoing sadism and suffering, in lieu of a 'better idea', the destruction of Hamas outweighs all other considerations.
