          The problem with a dying animal like the US empire is that it lashes out before dying. The question is are they going to lash out against the whole world as they lose control. It certainly is starting to feel that way.

          And remember that they are the only country to unleash nuclear weapons on a civilian population. It does sound alarmist, but so far the US has shown that they will operate with absolute impunity.

          The US is unreliable and outright manufactures lies as they need them. Can the world trust them not to cause destruction?

      That is exactly the type of attitude which has gotten them into the situation they’re in and in my opinion you need to check yourself. I do not approve of the IDF and I absolutely believe Palestinians are being subjected to collective punishment. That all said, massacres just cause more massacres and purging people just radicalizes the ones who are left. I don’t know how to solve the Israel - Palestine war/genocide but you don’t either. You advocating for more violence is one pointless and two wrong.

        Seriously, this is where we’re at? Someone says massacres are bad and that’s too much? Peace isn’t made through more violence, peace is made through the hardest work no one wants to do. It’s a lot easier to say kill them all than it is to do the work to build peace.

          Wiping out a military group is not the same as attacking civilians. Destroying military capability can bring peace, bombing civilians does not. Idf is military and its primary purpose appears to be the destruction of the Palestinians.

          Purging the IDF is a massacre, and given the bad blood in the region will result in the Israeli Jews being genocided. So you have asked for a massacre in response to a massacre.
