Even if it somehow gets reinstated, the damage is done. Majority have already left for alternatives.

The problem is Russia has the very real capability of really screwing up a good chunk of the world before they get wiped off the map. It’s kind of scary if im being honest.

I’m gonna go with bees. They’re just too small for lions to effectively fight them.

The fact that a lot of Americans are now saying “Huh maybe we shouldn’t have invaded Vietnam.” Is a small comfort to the innocents slaughtered, the families torn apart, the lands destroyed, the children deformed from chemicals like agent orange, etc. Yes, the minority became a majority, but have you ever heard of the saying “too little, too late”?

Maybe I should have said “not immediately relevant”. People like the original commenter and myself are simply remarking that the majority of the protestors don’t care about Palestinians. At worst, they are for it, and at best they just look the other way. The portion who are vocally against it are important, but again, they are a minority. That’s the comment on Israel, that the majirity of the country simply don’t care for the Palestinians. And this time, unlike in Vietnam, when it becomes too late, there will be no more Palestinians.

When describing the actions of a country, the minority who oppose those actions are not relevant. At the end of the day hostages or no hostages the Israeli nation will continue it’s eradication of Palestinians as well as executing journalists and aid workers to help silence their actions. That is a fact that is based on plenty of past events.

I really do appreciate it when people speak up against the wrong actions of their nation, especially when they are in the minority. Based on your comments it sounds like you might be one of them, and if that’s the case it says a lot about your character. I’m just sorry your voice and the voice of others isn’t enough in this case.

I have no doubt in my mind that there exists some Israelis that are kind and compassionate and are completely willing to coexist with the Palestinians. But those people will always be in the minority. We’re talking about a country whose whole existence is based on the displacement and eradication of the native population. The genocide of the Palestinians started long before Oct 7th. The only thing that has changed is how quickly it’s happening.

Yes there are more differences and there’s likely different recipes based on where you live. But the main one, from my understanding, is what I said in my original comment.

I’m saying a significant portion of the Israelis would have been protesting from the beginning if they cared about the Palestinians.

It’s all about how they sweeten the drink. Regular coke uses corn syrup while diet coke uses aspartame. This allows the diet coke to have no calories.

If what you’re saying is true then there would have been protests of this magnitude the moment the news started coming out about what the IDF is doing.

There’s no doubt that a good chunk of the population does want Netanyahu to kill even more Palestinians. These people didn’t start protesting over their actions against the Palestinians. So once they have the hostages it’s a safe assumption that they will stop protrsting and demanding a ceasefire.

The trigger for the protests and ceasefire demands was for the rescue hostages, not the end of the ongoing genocide.

The whole country was founded on the ideal that they have an entitlement to the land regardless of the native population. There’s no doubt that some Israelis are kind and compassionate towards the Palestinian population, but they were always the minority.

I mean that’s what Israel is saying. Hamas is saying that these were the hostages that were due to be released as per the negotiation for a ceasefire. It’s honestly 50/50 as per who killed them.

Friendly reminder that the majority of Israel is ok with the genocidal campaign going on. This protest is just to prioritize the rescue of the hostages before slaughtering innocent civilians and international aid workers.

I really admire your ability to justify murder by protesting/existing.

Al Jazeera is still a major news organization and this isn’t an opinion piece. They are literally quoting the head if the UNRWA.

What kind of things do you like? Why don’t you find some clubs or groups that you would find interesting?
