Israel’s war in Gaza is chipping away at so much of what we – in the United States but also internationally – had agreed upon as acceptable, from the rules governing our freedom of speech to the very laws of armed conflict. It seems no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the international order of the last 77 years is threatened by this change in the obligations governing our legal and political responsibilities to each other.

When are we going to talk about African wars?

When the US starts being the primary funder of them.

There isn’t any difference between American arms and israeli arms

You're beyond saving. You cannot even recognize why it matters if you're participating in a genocide or not. A genocide is already happening, why not make a buck off of it? In a past life, you worked at IBM. There you sold computers to the Nazis to help them tabulate the Holocaust.

Don’t know who you intended to reply to, but I hope you find them!

Talk about them nobody stopping you bt you don't care you just need a way to deflect from the current topic and genocide

It's their little pet conflict, they don't care about anything else and arguably don't really care about gaza or palestine. Most probably don't even know the difference between the two.

If you call out obvious iranian propaganda or do so much as hinting at "using women and children as human shields is bad", you are a zionist, genocide-apologist, blahblahblah.

Calling out antisemitism, especially within the self-proclaimed political left, is another sure way to get some ad hominem insults and/or threats.

That being said, your comment is still a straw man.
