      Israel has been in violation of the GCIV since 2007, it’s been a globally recognized humanitarian crisis, and an extremely successful genocide/ethnic cleansing.

      Israel has killed over 10x as many Palestinians compared to all pro-Palestinian groups combined (not just Hamas) since the year 2000. Since (and including) October 7th, Israel has killed 18,000 people (8000 children) Palestinians. Hamas has killed around 1200 people.

      Maybe you think, like the Israeli defense minister that the killing of thousands of innocent children is justified because we’re dealing with “human animals”. The goal being to objectify Palestinians the same way we objectify non-human animals, so they can be slaughtered just as ruthlessly and effectively.

      The formation of the genocidal state of Israel, which happened so recently that our current president was alive, involved the forceful removal and ethnic cleansing of almost a million native Palestinians.

      We’re far enough removed from the ethnic cleansing of native Americans in the U.S that most people recognize it was wrong for Europeans to invade, colonize, and genocide the native population, but when we see the exact same thing happening in our lifetimes, people like yourself happily back settler colonialism. It’s genuinely fucking astounding.
