Israel genocide wouldn’t be possible without US unconditional backup.

The US has delivered 90,000 tons of bombs, guns, and other military equipment to Israel since October 7, 2023, to support the genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to numbers from the Israeli Defense Ministry.

The ministry stated that the military equipment has included “armored vehicles, munitions, ammunition, personal protection gear, and medical supplies” and that the US support is “a significant component” in ensuring the Israeli military can continue the slaughter in Gaza.

    We can’t help Ukraine, but we’re determined to help (by contributing to) a literal full blown genocide. I really hate this administration.

    I cannot — I performatively refuse to — believe that the meaning of « genocide », « fascism » and « nazi » — dogmas that shaped the fundamental beliefs of many generations —would be controversial again.

      I think that the term ‘Nazi’ needs to die.

      These people are not members of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, aka Nazis. They are fascists.

      Some of the members of this movement cosplay as Nazis, but they are not Nazis. We call these people, who wear Nazi symbols and glorify the Nazis, neoNazis

      Using the term ‘Nazi’ to describe the fascists taking control of the US Government unnecessarily muddies the discussion on top of being factually incorrect. Words have meaning. Twisting the meaning of words in order to suit your political agenda is irresponsible, at best.

      Call fascists fascists because that’s what they are. Don’t use a term that lets them red herring every conversation by turning it into an argument about the term ‘Nazi’.

        I kinda agree. They are worse than Nazis as they should know better. They soil the memory of their family members that were murdered by Nazis in order to do the same upon others.

          The people of Nazi Germany only halfway understood what was happening, and those who did were thrown in jail if they spoke out. They were told the jews were being rounded up into educational camps.

          We executed the nazis. Wish we could send the neo nazis to 1930 germany.

    Wow it’s almost as though Israel has been our military ally in the region for decades.

    BTW “thanks” for getting Trump elected over Gaza, idiots. Great fucking job - they’re clearly so much better off now, you high-horse riding smug assholes.

      There we another peraon who claim yo care about palestinian while voting for one of the two genocide supporter. I bet you never boycott a single israeli product and didn’t participate to a single protests. I bet you didn’t care about pro palestinian people getting arrested
