I didn’t want to direct this question to Americans specifically because, at this point, other countries have shown support to Israel in one or the other way. If my country was financing this, I would be taking the streets. Shit, I’m right now in the hospital but all I can think about is protesting anyway just to feel I did something to stop this madness.

Are you doing something about this? Are you feeling unsettled? How do you feel about all this mess?

EDIT: So, buying Chinese stuff takes the USS Gerald Ford to Gaza’s coast. Also, TIL that that chocolate my cousin gave me when she was 20 and I was 5, (delicious stuff!) made me a slavist-ish. The fact remains, this genocide is being paid and supported by taxpayers money; of course, I was hoping that most of us didn’t pay taxes wishing for this. Thank you all for your responses, some of them were hard to swallow.

    A 48 hour warning, then a complete and utter flattening of the gaza strip

    I hate death of civilians as much as the next guy, but the sad truth is that indiscriminate annihilation is the only way to stop the war before it spreads. To not do that in the middle east, would be to show weakness and you don’t want to show weakness in the middle east

    The sad truth us that it’s unfortunately the only way

    You can make peace with the leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc. but you can’t make peace with terrorists

        There’s a difference between genocide and flattening an invading nation to the ground

          There’s really not. Killing every person in a country/region is the very definition of genocide. That’s a pretty awful position to hold.
