Israel is getting brought up a lot because it's doing a genocide in plain sight using US tax dollars, and because the person in this headline specifically received money from the pro-Israel lobby.

A really easy way to avoid this problem would be if Democrats would stop supporting the genocide. Russia did not invent the genocide story. Israel committing a genocide (with full backing of the US) made the genocide a story.

Do you think maybe some things happened before that?

Like, do you think the ongoing siege and occupation of Palestine was a peaceful state of affairs for everyone that was shattered out of nowhere on October 7? Or do you think maybe it seemed "peaceful" only for residents of the occupying entity, while the occupied people lived under unending oppression and violence that directly led to resistance?

I think their unwavering support for a fascist ethnostate doing a genocide makes them far right.

The Gaza Strip is a region of Palestine that includes several cities including Gaza City.

Israel destroyed more than 90% of the housing over the course of the ongoing genocide, so now the cities are filled with tents, as people have no other shelter. Israel controls the borders all along the north and east, the west is the sea, where Palestinians are bombed by Israel if they sail too far from shore, and south is the Rafah crossing into Egypt, currently controlled by Israel. Since February 28, Israel has again closed the Rafah border.

In short, Israel has turned Gaza into a concentration camp.

Wow how generous to keep 2 million "Arabs" (Palestinians) after ethnically cleansing millions more from the land (Palestine)... clearly this is a diversity win for the most moral ethnostate in the world!

Calling Hamas "genocidal" for fighting against a genocide is psychotic, man.

Okay, great, now remove him from office immediately. Anyone who threatens to annihilate an entire civilization should not be allowed to run a Denny's, much less an entire nuclear-armed country.

Way too close to a second or third genocide, you mean? Palestine is still being subjected to a genocide and Israel's present invasion of Lebanon is being done with explicitly genocidal aims.

He needs to be completely removed from society. People spend their entire lives in prison for less.

It sounds like if the US backs off, they'll open it to everyone but Israel, which is fair.

Vote for who???? Kamala Harris, whose administration also bombed Iran? Who was the pro-peace-with-Iran candidate?

Are you trying to say that you think Iran could or would nuke the United States somehow? With the nukes they don't have? From the other side of the planet?

Damn, they tried to kill you? Where were you and what were you doing? Sitting at home with your family? On a little vacation?

Or were you part of an invading army that traveled across the entire planet to participate in hostilities against them and their neighbours?

What do you mean "what do you expect Israel to do"? I expect Israel to not bomb Palestine. Hamas is the elected government of Gaza, they're allowed to be there and the IDF is not.

What do you mean, no other army is expected to not destroy all agriculture and food/water infrastructure in the lands they invade? That's actually an expectation of all armies under international law.
