The Palestinian Genocide IS NOT US Politics OK!!!
The Palestinian Genocide IS NOT US Politics OK!!!
Stop being a moron. What Israel is doing is an evil genocide, but it is NOT US political policy.
Get your head out of your ass!
The US is providing funding which Israel is appropriating for genocide, but it was never provided specifically for the genocide.
Israel’s war crimes are on Israel.
The US is providing funding which Israel is appropriating for genocide, but it was never provided specifically for the genocide.
that’s a distinction without a difference,
Huge difference for the people who legitimately believe Israel has a right to self defense. The problem is they also can’t recognize that Israel moved to offense ages ago.
The funding was provided in good faith, it’s being used in bad faith. That’s the difference.
You are framing this as sequence of events where the US formerly gave Israel weapons under false pretenses from Israel about what they would be used for when there is no evidence it was under false pretenses, there is no evidence it stopped and there is no evidence it will stop.
You are trying to describe a river as a truck that drove by once, not a continuous flow where each subsequent thing is an evolution and a response to the last. You say well the US drove the truck of weapons to Israel and THEN they committed Genocide with them… I say it is a continous river where if what was happening downstream was truly dammed (and not just damned), the consequences would already be overwhelming for what was attempting to dam an undeniable upstream force even if there is a physical distance of separation described… it is a river, that is what rivers are, conveyances in communication.
This is a river of arms, death and the machinery of oppression.
First - 100% props for dammed/damned. Chefs kiss!
The problem is that US politicians are absolutely blind when it comes to Israeli war crimes. I personally know people in Southern Lebanon impacted not just by what Israel is doing there NOW, but what they have been doing there, Jesus, going back to the 90s through multiple illegal occupations.
All the politicians see is “Hezbollah attacks Israel? ZOMG! More money for defense!”
Ignoring the fact that, the reality on the ground is, they will kidnap a doctor in the middle of the night, tell him if he resists, he will be shot and killed, haul him off to treat a prisoner with no compensation, and then dump him on the side of the road like so much trash when they no longer have a use for him.
That’s a true story from the brother of one of my close friends. The difference is, I have the decency and common sense to blame Israel for it, not the US.
It’s Israeli policy to bulldoze homes, not US policy:

The Israeli military’s extensive and deliberate destruction of civilian property and agricultural land across southern Lebanon must be investigated as war crimes, Amnesty International said in a new briefing. Nowhere To Return: Israel’s Extensive Destruction of Southern Lebanon documents how Israeli forces used manually laid explosives and bulldozers to devastate civilian structures, including homes, mosques, […]

Don’t play cute with me, I am accusing you of a grave crime upon your own soul you fool.

Lets try to keep this simple since I see you can’t keep up.
[email protected] is specifically for US Politics.
You posted this story:
newarab.com/…/israel-replicating-its-gaza-war-tac…
It was removed and you were directed to appropriately post it in [email protected] where it belongs.
I want you to go over that article very carefully and point to me where it states the US is in any way involved in the invasion of Lebanon.
You can’t, because it doesn’t.
For example, like this one:
israelhayom.com/…/trump-gave-israel-green-light-f…
That is something that COULD be posted to [email protected] as it specifically indicts a US politician and is directly related to US politics.
