The point of this thread, although Trump is justly an evil, Orange Pedophile who brought fascism to the United States, was to basically declare the cruelty of starving kids to death an atrocity that is unjustified under any circumstance. It is a mystery how a people who have gone through the worst of times now accept doing the same thing that they had done to themselves.
It wasn't meant to declare antisimitism against every Jew on the planet. Also, being well aware how politics work and how leaders can ignore the wishes of the people, it isn't even meant to paint a broad brushstroke against the citizens of Israel proper. It points out that both the US and Israel are currently committing sins against basically themselves, as people will have to live with what they did.
I admit, I am puzzled by those posts that said, War is war and that's how the cookie crumbles. That's how far we have slipped from our basic humanity. It is difficult to watch this tragedy unfold without protesting against the utter depravity that is being shown. It's no longer about Oct. 7th. It's about revenge, which is beyond the pale when it seems like a scorched earth policy is the end point. I don't support this.
Exterminating a whole people just for land or a Hotel is not my idea for peace. And Israel is just trying to hide under the veil of "Got to end this by killing Hamas---look over there! A Hamas!" and some little kid is starving to death.
It's difficult to articulate, but if you give away that part of yourself which is your higher soul, you just can't be whole. That means when you see something unholy, or unjust, or unfair, you should try to stop it. Even if you just say, "Fuck! Stop this!" you are helping the world. And sometimes, that's all you can contribute, but at least you did it.
I think that both the US and Israel have given honor away. It is so embarrassing.
