This is completely off topic. But what is your stance on the US continuing to supply arms, material and support to Israel with no attenuation in sight?
Against it, Israel behaves like a Nazi state (and I say that as an Austrian). The whole situation there is ultra fucked though. Like having someone on live TV say they are okay with raping prisoners ("they deserve it"), their only problem with it is that it's not put into law that torturing and raping them is okay.
Israel wants the land for themselves, so they'll only be satisfied by killing or moving everyone away (and they are going at it like absolute bastards).
Palestinians just want to be left alone / get seen as a valid state with rights. And have secured water/food/power.
Here is the problem: Israel has done so much shit, even if they stop immediately, open borders, agree Palestine is its own country with rights, ... there are so many Palestinians out for blood who want revenge. So what will happen? Someone in Hamas lashes out, new terror act, back to square one. Hamas is useful for Israel, receive one terror act, return by bombing half a city block, it's a nice excuse.
Obviously I don't have a solution for it, but stopping to give Israel money/weapons would be a good step.
Agreed on all points. Apartheid states anywhere they exist must be abolished.
