    4 of them were Canadians so the feds have requested a visit by the Israeli ambassador.

    We’ll see what happens.

          International lawmakers are already pissed off enough at Israel that I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually the cause of war. They’re only tip toeing around it right now because peacekeeping wars are very unpopular. Kill your own citizens? That’s fine just keep the international casualties down. Kill international diplomats? War.

            Kill your own citizens?

            It is illegally occupied since 1967 and the Palestinians are stateless living under military rule. They are not Israeli citizens.

            With the current state of things in Gaza, I’m starting to dream that European naval powers some day have enough, and send an aid convoy with a heavy military escort to Gaza.

            I can’t imagine anything but support for a mission that is literally escorting container ships with food, water, and medical equipment to Gaza. And I can only dream about the reaction from Israel if a combined NATO naval force told them that “We’re delivering humanitarian aid. If you try to stop us at sea we’ll sink you, and if you try to shoot us from the air we’ll wipe out your airfields. Stand back and no shots will be fired.”

            It would be a so unequivocally “good guy/bad guy” situation, and NATO has the military power to pull it off. Of course, zionists have infiltrated far too much of our political sphere, so it’s never going to happen…

    Stop getting your panties in a twist, the IDF were merely giving the diplomats a near accurate depiction of what Palestinians go through every moment they live. An accurate depiction would be to kill them.

    Imagine reading in the future that WWII happened but then for WWIII the USA and Israel were the genocidal baddies who like eugenics.

    Imagine the surprise when it turns out that that wasn’t history rewritten by some victors to twist history but actually is what happened, and it was voted for.

        Candidate that let’s it happen.

        Candidate that wants it expedited to build hotels, and to bring the genocide home.

        I guess there was just no viable choice huh.

          Both of those plans involve genocide

          So no, the viable choice would be to write in Bernie Sanders or some shit idk

          The Democrats and Republicans both have shown, through their actions, they want to just let the genocide continue to happen.

      This would be entirely unsurprising to the majority of people outside the US

      Imagine reading in the future that WWII happened but then for WWIII the USA and Israel were the genocidal baddies who like eugenics.

      The US did commit genocides, and until the 1960s it was policy to eradicate indigenous languages and religions.

      Time for Aime Ceseare quote:

      Yes, it would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler and Hitlerism and to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside him, that Hitler inhabits him, that Hitler is his demon, that if he rails against him, he is being inconsistent and that, at bottom, what he cannot forgive Hitler for is not crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India, and the blacks of Africa.

          It kinda might tell us something about power and influence.

          Nah, it tells us about the people who seek out power and influence.

          Oh my goodness you’re right, I was wrong. Thank you for correcting this meaningful distinction.
