    I love how Americans kill half my people, refuse to even acknowledge it. Suddenly they’re on to the next news story and morally grand standing and patting their own backs, while calling everyone else murderers

      Maybe, just maybe, the Americans who support Palestinians aren’t the same Americans who are support our genocidal military industrial complex.

      70% of Americans want an immediate ceasefire. 75% Americans are opposed to any increases in military spending (56% want a decrease: https://afsc.org/news/most-us-adults-support-pentagon-spending-cuts). So please understand that the US government is a plutocracy that doesn’t represent the will of the American people anymore than Putin represents the majority of Russians.

      Americans are not a hive mind. The ones who mourn his loss are not the ones in power happily sending aid to Israel. Just like not every Palestinian participated in Oct 7.

        Tell me you don’t know the first thing about the Palestinian situatuon without telling me you don’t know the first thing about the Palestinian situation.

        Removed for misinformation bad enough to be overt racism.

        Without western money your society will have collapsed a long while ago.

        Spoken like a typical dumb American. The world has seen more prosperity and wealth before the west plundered it all.
