Anonymous wrote:The entire world was sympathetic with Israel after the Hamas massacres on 10/7 - except for lunatic progressives in the US who were already protesting against Israel before the bodies were even in the ground. But it was understood by the other 99 percent of humanity that Islamic extremist terrorists - like Hamas, like ISIS, like Al-Qaeda - are not compatible with civilization and cannot be allowed to rule or govern anywhere.
And most of the world has been supportive of Israel as it dealt with Hezbollah, the fall of Assad, and Iran.
But Israel's response in Gaza has crossed all the lines now. The complete disregard for civilians - even with Hamas using hospitals and mosques to hide among the innocent - has been appalling. And now using famine as a weapon - that violates everything.
Israelis chose extremists for their government - the "Religious Zionism" coalition, which is Netanyahu and Likud and far right orthodox and settler parties. Religious extremism is a stain everywhere - even among Jews. And those orthodox nutcases in Israel are just as bad as Hamas.
There's no good guy here. I'm generally very supportive of Israel, but I think all US support for this Israeli government has to stop immediately. They are fanatics.
The days of sane Likud or Labour governments are gone. Israelis went far right and ultra-orthodox. The Israel of today is not the Israel of 1948-2000. And the world needs to adjust. Which means pulling all support for Israel as their religious extremists inflict famine and total military control over Gaza.
The Israeli government is garbage. And incredibly cruel and dangerous. Israel needs to be isolated until they make different choices. Messianic religious parties always lead people into disaster. This is the path Israelis chose, even though they could do so much better. But, F em for their political choices. Isolate Israel. No weapons. No trade. They really aren't better than Hamas, which is such a tragedy. Idiots.
Except most American Jews are STILL supporting AIPAC. They HATE America.
