    All it took for the West to so much as begin turning on Israel was pictures of skeletonised children.

    If America and Europe truly believed in “Never again!” we would have carrier groups running 24-hour sorties and bombing Tel Aviv into the stone age. Any other country (outside of Africa, ugh) pulling this shit would have been flattened and invaded by now.

    Nope! Instead we paid for this genocide. Solid return on AIPAC’s investment!

    I’m fucking sick. We’re seeing images out of WWII concentration camps on the 2025 news. Cut Israel out from the world of decent men. They’ve forfeited their right to exist. Sorry guys, used to root for you. Never again!

    My parents’ conservative bubble of news has informed them that the starvation is because Hamas shoots at Palestinians who try to get aid.

    (I told them, “Wow, so Hamas and the IDF have something in common?”)

    I welcome it.

    Provided the USA follows through of course.

    But I cannot help but think what he’s deflecting from by unexpectedly showing a humanitarian face.

    Or that it’s going to be just about enough to save face (for Israel as well) and improve his abysmal ratings, but not enough to actually improve, let alone solve anything for Palestine.
