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.

      Uhhh, Trump hasn’t been president for 600 days genius. 80% of that was Biden. You know, the US politician who had taken more money from Israel than any other politician in US history…

        I think his issue is that this administration stopped helping Ukraine while still continuing the genocide assistance program.

    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.

            I didn’t call them the same thing. It’s very different. They built their home on the suffering of their ancestors. They have claimed absolution and mercy over the suffering they had to endure since the diaspora. They are not Nazi’s, Nazis killed their grandparents. These are Zionist Jews and that nomer should be as foul as nazi.

            So you have misread my comment we are basically in agreement

        They literally funded the Nazis and tried to ally with them. They are surely close enough to warrant the reminder of that fact.

          They did not fund the National Socialist German Workers Party, they funded the AFD. And if you scoff and say “Same thing”, well that’s exactly the problem we’re talking about. They aren’t the same thing. They’re both fascists, but the AFD are not LITERALLY Nazi’s. And so by using Nazi to describe them, you are continuing to muddy the waters and give people a reason to dismiss you.

          It is easy for them to ignore being called Nazi’s, because they are not literally Nazi’s. It is harder for them to ignore being called fascists, because they ARE literally fascists.

              They literally funded the Nazis and tried to ally with them. They are surely close enough to warrant the reminder of that fact.

              The Haavara Agreement (Hebrew: הֶסְכֵּם הַעֲבָרָה, romanized: heskem haavara, lit. ‘transfer agreement’) was an agreement between Nazi Germany and Zionist organizations signed on 25 August 1933.

              You’re grossly misrepresenting what the Haavara Agreement was.

              From the Haavara Agreement wikipedia article:

              In an arrangement with the Reich Economics Ministry, the blocked German bank accounts of prospective immigrants would be unblocked and funds from them used by Hanotea to buy agricultural German goods; these goods, along with the immigrants, would then go to Palestine, and the immigrants would be granted a house or citrus plantation by the company of the same value.

              The Nazis frozen the accounts of German jews and the Haavara Agreement was an agreement that Jews would leave Germany in exchange for their funds being transferred with them. Nazi was still trying to find solutions to the “Jewish question” and this was seen as a way to coerce Jews into leaving.

              This was not Zionists funding Nazi Germany or trying to ally with them. It was a Nazi tactic to financially coerce German jews to leave Germany.

                  You’re fighting a strawman that you’ve created in your head that’s an amalgamation of every post you disagree with.

                  You’ve likely never seen anything that I’ve written before so you have no basis for anything that you’ve claimed. Implying that I’m pro-Zionist is very much incorrect.

                  That’s voluntary.

                  It’s not voluntary if the only other option is to have your family’s wealth confiscated and be forced to stay in 1930s Germany which was, as anyone should know, very hostile to Jewish people (including the mass extermination).

                  You’re ignoring the implied threat of impending violence and seizure of property.

                  It’s like claiming that a bank voluntarily gave money to a bank robber.

    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
