      Focus in, this the action of a handful of powerful and violent people, not the act of a whole nation with a subjugated past.

      The people enacting these atrocities are just as much monsters and the people who oppressed their ancestors.

        But the nation isn’t stopping him. He’s been voted in how many times. It isn’t like the people have no blame.

        Sure, the decisions are made, the policies enacted, by those at the top — but there is no widespread repudiation of their actions by the citizenry at large, either.

      I really don’t have a side politically. I just don’t understand.

      How can you see this genocide unfolding, ethnic cleansing at a minimum of you’re scared if using the G word, and still say “Well, I don’t really want to take a side here”

      This kind of rhetoric enables these war crimes. You’ve outlined yourself what Israel is doing, and they’re going to continue because the western governments aren’t doing anything real about it.

      The least we can do as individuals is call them out on their bullshit and remind others around us that the genocide they’re committing is entirely fucked up and unjustifiable.

      My guess is that they believe leaving the Hamas alive is equivalent to allowing their territory be attacked again in the future. They want this war to be The Last One™ so thay don’t have to further spend military resourses in the future doing the same thing again.

        Rest of humanity? Which other country successfully carried out a genocide recently?

          I think y’all are reading too much into a knee-jerk comment from Auli… The point is that Jewish people, also being people, are unfortunately capable of just as much hate and devastation as any others.
