    Every western government has been complicit in this genocide. USA most of all. None of this could have occurred had it not been for the funding and the diplomatic cover provided by our governments. It’s up to all of us to make it stop.

      Lets not include Spain and the Republic of Ireland on it, who have even tried to get the EU to sanction Israel for this.

      But yeah, the rest are a disgrace, after the US especially Germany, who once again because of the etnicity of the aggressors, unwaveringly supports their committing of genocide along etnic lines and were the political and media “elites” even deploy Goebbels-style propaganda on this against its own populations. It was pretty dissapointing for me to see that whilst the national socialist party of the german worker is gone (though at the hands of others, not because it was kicked out by the Germans themselves), their cold violent racist ways are alive and well, at least amongst the German “elites”.

      Well, I think the US public has been pretty vocal about this compared to most issues. People are really pissed at Biden. So don’t change the subject.

      I think it’s time we start publicly shaming Israelis and Jews who don’t make strong statements condemning the murder of civilians and protesting the reckless-at-best and seemingly genocidal actions of their government.

        publicly shaming Israelis and Jews

        This is about Zionism. It’s not about Jews. If you make it about Jews you are falling for the Zionist tactic of equating the two. Do better

          Really I just meant the international community of Jewish people. Many of them have strong opinions about matters related to Israel.

        Are you deliberately trying to use the same language as was used against Muslims 20 years ago?

          No, I guess I don’t get your reference, unless you are referring to 911?

          If so it would be the Americans needing to condemn their government for invading Iraq, not the Muslims condemning 911.

      Oh yeah? Pray tell, how do we do that? And mind you, you’ve also got Iran in play, Egypt is doing its thing, and they would both react in their own way.

      Like would you suggest NATO troops on the ground? How do you think Hamas would react to that?

        What tactics has the West utilized against Russia that they have not employed against Israel?

        Economic sanctions. Apply them to Israeli leadership in the military and in politics. Plus Business leaders and bankers. Prevent Israeli banking institutions “from accessing SWIFT, the international system for financial transactions, and restricting access to Western financial markets.” Ban Israeli access to international goods and services import as well as export. Let’s see how long their military can go without oil.
