    Is every Gazan responsible for the actions of their leadership? Is every Israeli responsible for the actions of their leadership? You’re reducing an incredibly complicated issue to black and white.

    Don’t get me wrong I’d love for the U.S. to not be involved in the M.E. at all but that’s not the situation we’re working with. You accuse me of ideology while failing to grasp the realpolitik involved. You’re demanding a binary solution to a Base10 problem.

      The realpolitik is that the US needs Israel as an unsinkable aircraft carrier to control North Africa and the Middlr East and the Arab Peninsula. It is a critical piece of the empire. That’s why we support Israel.

      You are responsible for your votes. I will not vote for genocide. You literally will.

        And when American Nazis are rounding up drag queens and sending trans people to re-education camps you can smugly sip your tea and know that you voted your principles.

        I don’t think you know what “literally” means.
