Israel is blocking aid organisations from buying food, water and medicine in israel and transporting it through the Ker Shalom crossing. Forcing everything through the extremely slow Egypt crossing which they are actively holding up. If they wanted to prevent weapon smuggle then they should love it going through Ker Shalom
I cannot think of a single possible explanation other than israel trying to starve Gazans and commit genocide. How are Americans this brainwashed?
This isn't limited to the US. What are Israeli citizens doing? Personally i think the US should just stay the fuck out of it and take back whatever stuff we can that we gave them. Cut off support and actively denounce, but they won't.
When I was a kid my parents took me to a reservation on the Oak Ridges Moraine which has long since decimated to a fraction of what it once was.
In it was a box on the wall and above it was printed "the most dangerous animal on the planet" with a hinge to open the box. Inside was a mirror.
I think about that moment consistently in my life even as a 46 year old.
My point being you're right. Each one of us is the problem.
Honestly, I would love to see a single state solution, but, you know, religion/racism.
Don't call Zionists "Jews".
Zionists are an extremist death cult. Calling Zionists "Jews" is very anti-semitic.
I agree with the rest of your comment though.
Propaganda. An abysmal education system. Failing social structures. Corrupt media. Networks of the wealthy using their influence to push society in the direction they desire.
Succinct and profound. You just summed up 5 books in 1 sentence.
