You’re just making complete straw man arguments right now because I never defended the US once in my statement. I said Israel is running an apartheid state and maybe Hamas wouldn’t be an issue if they weren’t.

Yes the US is distinctly involved in Israel and the repression and genocide of the Palestinian people, and has been since 1948. However, that does not take away any blame from the Israelis being a violent apartheid state committing a genocide. And yes, I absolutely do blame them for being racist because Israel was the one who has created the conditions for this and every previous war in the region.

It is absolutely not unreasonable for people who were living in that land and were dispossessed of their land through no fault of their own, who are currently still being dispossessed of their land, and who are living in an apartheid, as they have been since Israels formation, to fight back against their oppressors.

By that logic the native Americans should never have fought against the colonialists and the Indians should never have fought back and killed any British. More recently by your logic Ukraine should not have fought back against Russia.

You have a right and an obligation to fight an invading power.

I think Israel not running n apartheid state would do a hell of a lot more to change the minds of Palestinians than anything Hamas says

If the US stopped supplying Israel so would the others pretty fast

England has already started pulling back They don’t get Chinese bombs

Israel does make weapons yes, but nowhere close to the level that the US does.

Again, the US has fully financed this genocide. If Israel could just make their own bombs at this rate they would not be getting billions every week from the US to buy US bombs

…? Where the fuck do you think they get their weapons? Why do you think the US has been approving billions of dollars of weapons sales to Israel per week for 10 months?

If the US stopped sending weapons Israel would have a week or two max of bombing left, using AMERICAN bombs

You’re just blatantly incorrext

Yeah I mean I can agree with the second paragraph for sure

I dont know the statistics off the top of my head, I’m just wondering how it measures up considering the number of people

But you’re right. Especially considering what’s just happened this week

We were all 19 or so and he was an idiot idk lol

I didn’t really hang out with him or know him before or after that night

Biden is entirely in the position to end things by just not supplying them weapons and money every damn week

I’ve started using Ecosia and i honestly have liked my results far more than on chrome

Was back when I was 19 or 20, was hanging out with my buddies from home over the summer while on break

We were at a McDonald’s at 1:30 or 2 am. Kid around our age comes screeching into the McDonald’s parking lot, going over curbs and everything, sparks flying from two wheels. He had punctured both his front tires and was riding on rims. Turns out one of my friends knew him - he takes a look, looks at the guy, goes “yo man, you probably don’t wanna drive on those”

Kid goes “yeah well I really want McDonald’s I’m gonna go home after”

My friend goes “you live about 15 min away, you really shouldn’t drive.”

He gets his shit and starts driving, sparks still going off. Were a little concerned so we follow him. 200 feet later he gets pulled over, so we pull over behind the cop. The cop looks at us and goes “do you guys know this idiot?”

My buddy’s like yeah…

Cop says you should get him in your car.

Kid refuses. Drives 8 miles home in rims. Smoke everywhere, most awful sound you’ve ever heard. We follow him home, I find out he’s dumb rich.

We go into his guest house, which was bigger than all of our actual houses, smoke one, then leave.

Let him go who would take him? If he’s not here he’s not useful to Putin he can fuck off to Russia if he wants he’ll probably meet a window or a teacup soon in that case

The US and the Israeli governments in full are totally responsible for this genocide, and the Israeli government was totally responsible for the 7th of October because of 70 odd years of segregation and apartheid and stealing from the Palestinian people.

We could just stop giving Israel weapons and they would not be able to bomb anyone. But ya cool let’s just pretend it’s one guy not the entire government who just argued that raping Palestinians was justified and moral

You’re not wrong. He’s trying to retcon everything and people are lapping it up for some reason

46000 Afghani civilians died in total. Israel has done four times as much as that in 10 months, all funded and signed off by Biden.

Did you read the Lancet study?

Nah he just gives money to Israel so they can bomb every hospital, school, and an entire people off the face of the planet.

And then says he is disappointed

Removed by mod

Nah what you said just doesn’t make sense so I asked you to explain but you didn’t you just tried to insult me

Please explain what you mean

What are you even talking about?

Yeah apparently on Lemmy if you criticize Biden or Kamala you want trump to win. There’s no nuance of “hey maybe we should force a better choice than a genocide enabler who will stick to the status quo as it has been for the past 40 years and change nothing, or an orange more evil genocide enabler”

Like I absolutely don’t want trump as a president. I also absolutely don’t want my taxes and money going to kill innocent people. These are not two contradictory viewpoints but people don’t seem to understand that. Hell, even Kamala doesn’t seem to understand that based on her rhetoric.

I’m tired of the white house being concerned or disappointed by Israel. If your child concerned or disappointed you so much and didn’t change his or her behavior, you would put in some consequences. Otherwise you would be a shitty parent. That simple.

Mm idk about that. Yes there is a lot of violence against women in India. Generally, the Indians flying are not gonna be the ones doing that. Secondly, there is a lot of violence against women all over the world, it’s not just an India thing. Hell half the US political system is trying to give women the death penalty for the consequences of being raped. Or just for deciding they don’t want kids.
