    The turn coat nature of the US response to gaza shows that US politicians cannot be trusted when they say they believe in or support human rights.

    Its crushing to see that saving ukraine from invasion was only for quick political gain, and that a nation who will not shut the fuck up about moral superiority lacks the spine or nuts to save lives when its even passingly inconvenient.

      good showcase that you shouldnt blindly base policy on israel being the holy land that just needs all the heavy weapons to level the entire strip and everyone in it, no thinking or strings attached needed

      and then later ask for more when the militias happened to become even more popular for some reason?

        Policy wasnt based on any holy land, policy was based on israel being a very convenient regional ally for military use.

        Its only recently that idiots who buy the religion excuse weaseled into office.

        It’s about oil. By rupturing the ties between Russia and the EU, America becomes the #1 natural gas supplier to Europe. By putting Gaza in the hands of a loyal American ally, American gas an oil companies gain access to the vast reserves off the coast.

        Most of America’s wars after the Cold war were about gaining access and control of oil rich nations.
