    I’m of the opinion that an individual with the explicit intent to commit genocide is the main obstacle, regardless of who is supporting them.

      Well, that would pretty much be the entire US Congress, and definitely the Israeli government, individually, if you like. They’ve all made some pretty outrageous public comments.

      The difference between a sociopath and a murdering sociopath is the belief that they will lose nothing and even stand to gain from murder.

      Absolutelly, evil people are to blame from doing evil shit because they chose to do it.

      Other people who protect and support the evil people when they do the evil shit are also to blame because without their support and protection the evil people are a lot less likely to do the evil shit fearing the repercussions.

      In this specific instance, given that the US has been vetoing UN Security Council resolutions to stop Israel and is by far much more powerful than Israel in the World stage, the theory that they’re the “main obstacle to peace in Palestine” makes sense, or in other words, that the murdering sociopath would have to stop murdering due to fear of the consequences if the US stopped supporting it.

      Whilst it seems likely that it is, whether the US really is the “main obstable” or not is something that we would only know for sure after the US stopped supporting Israel.
