    Gazans have the right to revolution, just as the Americans, French, and Chinese did.

    Condemning violence in revolution is akin to condemning the formation of these countries we have today. Palestinians have exhausted all other options.

    So are they going to lift it at a reasonable time (edit: and keep it lifted!), or is the far-right government going to try and starve out the whole population?

    Israel is its own country and responsible for its own actions. Don’t drag the West into this just because some financial aid is given.

      USA sends on average 3.8 billion a year in aid to Israel. Israel also has a lobbying system in the US to skew public opinion in favor of Israel (the most prominent groups are CUFI and AIPAC), where in certain divisions, Mossad bots spew Israeli propaganda on fake accounts (much like the Kremlin bots).

      The government always touts Israel as “our best ally”. Not to mention that USA always has unequivocal support to Israel, even if they might criticise them for a couple things. Funny how they support the oppressed while also supporting the aggressor.
