    Just a hypothetical question but how many Palestinians have to die for the US to vote to support a ceasefire? Or how many more war crimes Israel has to commit to stop them sending weapons.

    The US should realise that sending them weapons empowers Israel and gives them the sense of impunity that no matter what they do they will always get a pass.

    No one should be higher than basic humanitarian and international laws and with this war we clearly are showing our double standards.

      The United States is completely aware of the atrocities being committed and no amount of additional war crimes will change its position.

      Its interests in the region that it views as necessary to maintaining its global hegemonic power are viewed as more important than any action by an allied actor even to the extent of what a decently large portion of its populace deems genocide.

      I think our trash leadership care more about the footprint of the land than the feet of the people on that land. They kill our people off when they consider us as in the way as well, unfortunately.

        I think your trash leadership cares more about oil than human lives and call me conspiracy theorists, but weren’t they discovered a significant natural gas reserves in Gaza, which Israel either doesn’t want for Palestine to start working on or either want to take completely over. And making Gaza inhabitable and pushing Palestinians to Sinai might as well be part of their plan to do exactly that, using Hamas’ attack as an excuse.
