All the more reason to make them poor.

If only I could get their address or office so I can send him a thank you gift.

Two thousand sixty six. Well, two thousand sixty five now.

Look up any of these companies proxy statements and you can get all the executive board including big shareholders. Quickly download them before they're removed too.

Good thing there's only 2066 of them. 2065 now.

I like to imagine he used an AK47.

It's not that Trumpism is a mental illness, more like you need to have a mental illness to be a Trump supporter.

americans are responsible for the genocide because they voted for trump or harris

Well, aren't they? If a whole populace democratically votes for genocidal maniacs, isn't that at least a little bit their fault? If Americans really didn't want a genocidal leader, surely they wouldn't go out of their way to vote one in?

Don't worry, nothing will be done to stop him (till he's in a bunker if you catch my drift.)

Remind me what Americas 2nd Ammendment is about?

"But these other conflicts are okay, why can't Israel do one?" I fail to see the comparison with these other conflicts, where neither has 2 million people in a giant open air concentration camp being starved of food, water, electricty, sanitation, and then getting bombed by US/UK sold weapons. Yes those conflicts are terrible, the Sudanese civil war is terrible with over 60,000 deaths so far, we just want Gaza to not top that as the Lancet reckons Gaza is facing at least 186,000 deaths - https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext - The problem is there can't be an accurate count because Israel won't let independent investigators in, also unlike the other conflicts you mentioned where independent investigations ARE allowed in. The fact that you'd point out these other conflicts, only to compare Israel to them as being MORE dishonest, doesn't help Israels cause or your own. No matter what you say, you won't convince us to accept genocide when it's happening to Palestinians or anyone else.

Would be easier to continue if our state apprati didn't protect them. You'd get shot by police for shooting at Nazi's now.

The reason why people are focusing on one side is because one side killed ~1200 while the other has killed ~44,000. It's like being a victim of a driveby shooting on 9/11 and complaining "Why is everyone only focusing on the Twin Towers?" The problem with pro-Israel supporters is that they somehow can't seeem to tell the difference between 1200 and 44,000, it's almost as if the 44,000 doesn't matter because they're Palestinian, and the 1200 matters more because they're Israeli. If Israel killed 1200 and then Hamas returned by killing 44,000, we'd be focusing on Hamas, but that isn't the case is it?

But wait for it, I can see the Hasbara talking point incoming - "Those are Hamas numbers." Well the 1200 is Israeli numbers, and everyone now realizes their numbers are lest trustful, because they're not the ones lying to the world and blocking independent investigative journalism. If you believe Israel is telling the truth, why not let in independent investigation?

Didn't we used to kill Nazi's and celebrate their demise in movies like Indiana Jones?

I think it's more dehumanizing to be the one who kills those people. What the hell is wrong with people? Is murder suddenly okay then?

US military can literally hit one target in a building using a literal knife missile - https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/pentagon-used-six-bladed-ginsu-weapon-to-kill-iraqi-militia-leader-7dfe0687

Israel proved they could target precision strike an Iranian general in a single room.

There is in fact an expectation for the military to not bomb indiscriminately, except when in the case of Gaza they choose to bomb indisciminately.

The Hutu's used the term "cockroaches" to dehumanize. The Nazi's used "rats". But at least those are living creatures. But "a shield", calling a human being a shield, as if they're an inanimate object meant to be struck, as if they're a nuisance that you're meant to get through to hit your target? Calling these civilians "human shields" is a new low for dehumanizing language, and Israel defenders don't realize what kind of monster everyone else sees them as. So wild that it's considered acceptable language by mainstream culture, fucking terrifying.

American's haven't properly defended their freedom since the 1700's.

The United States GDP is £25 Trillion. Musk and his peers have £35 Trillion in offshore tax havens (as of 2016).

I think it's important to contextualize what a civil war in America nowadays would look like. It will be military vs police, national guard vs army, civilians vs government, etc. etc. Most Americans don't even have a shared history anymore, let alone present.
