Can you do anything about the genocide on natives that your tax dollars are funding right now?
Yeah let’s focus on Chinese prison labour, ignoring the US’s much higher incarceration rate, and the literal genocide they’re funding right now.
It’s long gone. Was there for like an hour or something.
At this point it’s literally just easier to use any Linux distro
He invented gravity smshh my head 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Huh this sounds eerily familiar
God I’m glad people like you aren’t all in charge. Easy for you westerners to say pretentious bullshit when you don’t have to worry about Islamist terror groups in your country taking it over.
Privileged? You don’t know how privileged you are.
There’s a massive difference between targeting civilians to kill, and having civilian casualties while bombing specific strategic targets.
Or do you think it’d have been better to not bomb strategic targets, letting Nazi Germany gain the upper hand and kill millions more?
That was 500k civilian deaths with strategic bombing specific infrastructure, not indiscriminate; it would’ve easily been in the millions otherwise.
War has always been costly. Israel is keeping casualties low by comparison, considering Hamas literally governed and built Gaza for 15 years around the idea of using civilians as human shields.
Nature is fighting back
Heresy
Of course it does. War is terrible no matter what you do. There were 500k German civilian deaths in WW2 from the Allied Forces’ bombing. Does that mean it shouldn’t have been done?
Lots of other countries manage to fight terrorism without violating the Geneva Convention and killing over 10,000 civilians
Are there any that are fighting a region entirely ruled by one? Taliban and Al Qaeda come to mind, and those regions had 100k and 300k civilian deaths respectively, despite US working with local forces.
And neither of those had the explicit intent of using civilians as human shields like Hamas is doing by building military tunnels under hospitals and civilian areas, or 15 years of control to build it around that idea.
If so, how does it make sense to give a government so incompetent literal billions of dollars a year?
That’s a different matter entirely. Other than that US military aid only accounts for $3.8bil out of Israel’s already massive $23.4bil, I’d argue Israel is a greater asset to the US than the US is to Israel; it lets the US exert power and influence over the entire middle east.
Here’s a concerning Biden clip from 30 years ago supporting that.: “Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”
This loops around to being genius
You did share it
So… Just let Hamas use their human shields and keep launching rockets? And show terrorist groups around the world that it’s effective? No thanks.
It’s definitely disgusting, but wasteful? I’d argue it’s the opposite since you’re also eating the skin and head.
