After Israel killed seven aid workers in Gaza, the US says it has not found any incidents of Israel violating international humanitarian law in the past six months. An Al Jazeera probe concluded the World Central Kitchen vehicles were deliberately hit.

    Israel is committing the genocide, not america. america is enabling them and thus it’s electorate can influence it’s actions, somewhat.
    the next election will influence the genocide in israel, the genocide in ukraine, and the upcoming genocide against trans people.

    throwing “capitalist” in there doesn’t make you deep. any economic system is capable of genocide.

    most americans are willfully ignorant, but not all of us.

    also, i don’t see whatever country you’re pretending to be from intervening… so maybe work on that

      “Israel” is a US colony; it’s entire existence hinges on the latter.

      Its formation used common british colonization tactics [III], with companies literally named “Colonization Commission”, “Jewish Colonial Trust” and the like.

      Theodor Herzl, founder of the colonial ideology he called “zionism”, was himself also just a racist colonizer by his own admission, and saw it as bringing ‘civilization’ to ‘barbarians’ as the rest of Europe did when they were colonizing and enslaving Africa and Asia:

      “We should there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism. We should as a neutral State remain in contact with all Europe, which would have to guarantee our existence.” Source [II]

      Only difference now is that the US has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2, no longer UK in Europe.

      And capitalist governments work for the interests and profit of capitalists rather than workers as is the reason for the genocide here (keeping the middle east unstable and unable to unite against imperialism with a colony right in the middle of Africa and Asia), so yes that does matter.

        you are grossly misinterpreting actions of several governments as american… israel was established post wwii for quite a few people with quite a few reasons.

        even if you wanted to mangle the definition of colony, Israel would still be a former colony and a sovereign nation now.

        but, what are your feelings about russia’s genocide in ukraine?

            Because they are exposing your hypocrisy?

            It’s always funny to me how .ml users do these mental gymnastics every time they get called out and then throw around the “how dare you” faux outrage.

            I say funny, but it’s more sad how frequent and predictable it’s become lately.

              So youre saying we should stop sending arms and money to Russia?

              Wait, no that can’t be it, so we should send arms and money to Palestine? Based AF

              But to be serious though, the difference is a country has not brought up formal accusations of genocide in Ukraine before the ICJ. Also:

                NOONE in this comment thread is denying the genocide of Palestine. They are both genocides. The fact that you guys can’t see that shows this huge fucking blindspot you have.

                You invent your own narratives that don’t exist and attack the strawmen to justify your nonexistent battle, and when confronted with a piece of reality you guffaw and act like your staring at the banality of evil.

                With that said, let’s be honest, if the .ml users that do this were truly after socialist / communist ideals, you’d be consistent and not astroturf for your fascist flavors of the month.

        “Israel” is a US colony; it’s entire existence hinges on the latter.

        I think I disagree with this.

        Puerto Rico is a colony. There’s a very clear difference in how the empire treats colonies and how it treats extensions of itself. Israel, rather than being a colony, is actually just an extension of the US empire. It’s like the 51st state, it’s an equal partner in the imperial project.

      Israel is committing genocide with American bombs and American protection and American approval. This war could be ended if Biden just stopped giving them more bombs and stopped protecting Israel from the consequences of its actions. Israel is the 51st State, America’s unsinkable aircraft carrier, it’s an American genocide. We don’t get to hide behind a proxy and pretend we are not directly responsible.

        this is a tragically naive take on how things work.

        Israel is the 51st State, America’s unsinkable aircraft carrier, it’s an American genocide.

        now you’re just stringing nonsense together

        We don’t get to hide behind a proxy and pretend we are not directly responsible.

        “we”? oh, now you’re american… it’s not a proxy, they are doing what they want to do.
        if you paid attention a little, israel burn’s buildings down when they run low on bombs… they make their own guns, bullets, tanks, and sniper quad copters… this would not change without american support.

        but, aren’t you going to address the genocide in Ukraine? How do you feel about Russia’s genocide in Ukraine?
