Take a look at any recent vote in the UN, or the opinions of the ICJ. The majority of powers in the western world share the gp's view. The US is literally the only country in the free world, other than Israel, that disagrees.

And yet they can’t/won’t do shit about it. Hence “people in power” not “third-rate states that take virtue-signaling votes but refuse to lift a finger”.

The pride you seem to take in America's capacity to threaten the world with its military hegemony and support genocide unopposed is a weird look. I don't know why you want that look, but I'll let you have it.

I’m pretty sure Europe has done a real bang-up job not only supporting genocide but perpetrating it on a massive scale in the modern era. The moral stain of these countries, especially as it relates to Jews, comes into sharp relief when they fund Hamas and its evil, supporting school curricula that teaches kids to hate and murder Jews, treats Israel is an illegitimate state from it’s inception, and uses histrionic language that itself proved the need for a Jewish state.

Israel is an occupying force, and under international law, Hamas can fight back against it. Maybe if the Jews returned home, there would be peace in the region.

But maybe you thought the French resistance shouldn't have fought against the occupying nazi forces during WWII.

I mean, I do get where you are coming from since the Iraqis of Afghanis who didn't want the USA occupying their land were also called terrorists by the occupiers.

This is both racist (a plurality of Israeli Jewish citizens are of MENA origin --- from Iraq, Tunisia, Yemen, and the like) and nonsensical. What does it mean that "Hamas can fight back" against Israel? That it can murder hundreds of unarmed civilians, and expect no military response?

Regardless, Hamas isn't the French Resistance.

Jewish people have returned home. They fought and won a war over it. I’m glad people like you say crazy shit like this, it makes it easy to dismiss everything you say without having to engage.
