    Oh lawdy! Now all those sincere genuine people screeching genocide joe are gonna accuse him of being Hamas.

    They were criticizing him for not sending in the Marines in trucks to blow through Israeli forces and start even more trouble. Lemmy is full of disingenuous idiots.

    I respect that there honestly are no really good decisions to be made. From the fucked up situation decades of western interference and complicity have created. So worried about losing that foothold in the region and not being able to fulfill obligations to other allies. That they handle a butcher with kid gloves and undeserved diplomacy. It’s nice to see the administration make a decent start of a move finally. After so many self inflicted injuries.

    Decades of US policy have driven us to this point. We’ve made enemies of Muslim nations because we had Christian whackos running everything. The only countries that like us are ones who want our money or our weapons. Sadly, nothing is going to change overnight.

    Though we really need to cut Bibi loose. I bet we could find other footholds in the region if we stop actively antagonizing it.

    Bibi is a warmonger and should stand trial. If Israel had rational leadership they could have kept the bloodthirsty part of their population in check.

      Nobody said this. No effort strawmans aren’t how you prove genocide is ok :p

        In fairness, it’s impossible to prove that genocide is ok, because genocide is never ok. So all he has left are the no effort strawmen.

          The article says nothing at all like that. The closest thing anyone in it says is that dropping supplies isn’t enough and we should do more to end Israel’s offensive. Why are you making shit up? What’s the point in pretending anyone has said what you’re claiming they’re saying? You haven’t seen anyone say it, yet you act like have. What’s the goal with this particular strawman?

            How about instead of downvoting you actually show me a single instance of people saying the US needs to attack Israel? Surely you can find at least one case of this thing that people are supposedly saying? Maybe I just missed it in the article and you could quote it for me

        I’m sure you read every single post on every community. It couldn’t possibly be that there are a bunch of dumbasses who don’t understand politics and suggest dumb stuff.
