    So your argument for supporting a genocidal country is that it strengthens our global empire. At least your honest.

      Way to completely misunderstand me.

      In any event, I don’t support anyone’s “global empire,” and I didn’t say I supported Israel’s genocide in Gaza. I don’t. I support these things:

      • The right of both the Palestinian and Israeli people to live free from violence. Never in my lifetime has that occurred, unfortunately, because their governments and terrorist organizations keep doing monstrous things to each other for stupid religious reasons.
      • Preventing Russia from dominating the region, because that would be a catastrophe for everyone.
      • The removal of Benjamin Netanyahu from power, followed by his imprisonment.
      • The return of all civilian hostages kidnapped by Hamas.
      • An immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
      • The prosecution of any IDF members who’ve committed war crimes.
      • The prosecution in Palestine (that’s important) of Hamas terrorists.

      This is a tall order, I know. But who do you think is more likely to make any progress towards it? The guy who’s at least trying to pressure Netanyahu? Or the orange-skinned Russian asset?
