    They’re US bombs dropped by a US ally with full US backing. Israel might as well be the 51st State.

    Just because the bombing is being done by a proxy instead of the US military doesn’t mean the US gets to wash its hands of the genocide.

      Culpable in the genocide? Yes. Carpet bombing anybody? No. Facts matter.

        When the US’s unsinkable aircraft carrier bombs Gaza, that’s the US bombing Gaza. Actually it’s not even a proxy, like when Saudi was carpet bombing Yemen with US bombs. Israel might as well be the 51st State because it could not exist without unlimited US support. It’s just a US outpost.

        You’re trying to pedantically dismiss a point on a technicality, but you’re still wrong. What Israel does, the US does. It’s one-to-one.
