    including scores of women and children

    This always assumes that there are no civilian men. I get that men are the ones usually conscripted, but… that’s always seemed weird to me.

      Fuck the USA, and every country too chicken shit to oppose a criminally corrupt sociopath committing war crimes to delay his own imminent corruption trial and imprisonment.

        Fuck the USA government, you mean. I only live here, and all I get to do is choose between the lesser of two evils every 4 years. What a nightmare.

          If you think you only get a choice once every four years, that’s part of the problem. There’s elections every single year, many of which you have more choice and more power over.

          Maybe if people showed up to vote more than once every four years we’d actually see some effective change.

          Well yeah, obviously. If you blamed the entire population for its governments actions then every human alive is guilty.

          Fuck the US government, and everyone who supports their crimes.

    Cool, but did you stop giving money and weapons yet? No? Then your statement is as effective as “thoughts and prayers.”

      The UN does not supply arms to Israel. The UN has passed many resolutions condemning Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, going back decades. They have literally already done everything the UN can do, many times over. They weren’t a governing body with binding powers over where the US sends arms, or who France chooses to support.

      So I’d have to say that your comment is less effective than their walkout, because it isn’t even properly informed.

      The UN definitely has its problems but I’m not going to blame UN global representatives for the US paving the unilateral support for the genocidal terrorist nation state of Israel.

    If he is still able to speak and be heard, then they arent loud enough. Every single person in that room needs to be screaming to demand his immediate arrest.
