    Well I guess that’s one way to try and walk it back.

    Fuck the media. ‘Ooohhh genocide is okay, we have to be friends with Israel!’

    Fuck that.

      You see, it’s very nuanced, on one hand, israel is systemically killing palestinian civillians and has blocked aid causing every reigion of gaza to be in famine, but a palestinian resistance group attacked israel one time.

        I’ve heard this argument being made seriously so often. Honestly, the only question you need to ask is “how many terrorist attacks before it’s OK to starve children to death?”.

        Well there’s also all those israeli munitions hamas stole (stealing them with and concealing them in childrens’ skulls to get them out, and using them to destroy palestinian apartment buiodings to cover their tracks, just doing anything to make sure our zionist buddies couldnt cuddle the love-bombs we sent them!) So lets not pretend they’re completely blameless. Even when cought, hamas prisoners as young as a couple years old have a nasty habbit of breaking the knuckles of israeli interpreters who just wanted to ask them questions, and being vectors for the spread of sexually transmitted diseases among israeli prison guards. That’s bio-weapons, guys. It’s messy.

    Oh please don’t be ridiculous, it’s not just North American. It’s basically every western country on Earth.

    Even the governments are now finally starting to pretend to say they care.

        There couldn’t possibly be loopholes there.
        Iirc germany considers stuff like tank engines as defence equipment but not weapons and therefore totally fine to sell places you are not allowed to sell weapons to. Not that we wouldn’t sell actual weapons to Israel.
