I think I see what you mean. Still, I believe the priority is for this Genocide to be stopped and Israeli people have the duty I would say, to act towards this direction. General strikes that last long can be a great tool for political pressure.

It looks like it's a one-day strike.

I hope many people participate, so that it goes on until a permanent ceasefire is achieved.

Israeli Assault on Northern West Bank Marks New Phase of Genocide

As Israel escalates attacks, Palestinians are wondering whether the war on Gaza has now expanded to the West Bank.

And another relevant article:

Google DeepMind employees ask the company to stop providing AI tech to the military

Edit: And a podcast No Tech for Apartheid w/ Mohammad Khatami & Gabi Schubiner

As I briefly explained above, I don't see a point to this hypothetical question and I was not convinced by your arguments, so I will not engage to answering it.

It looks like we see things quite differently. For me all Genocides are evil. I believe it is important to study their differences so they do not reoccur in any way, shape or form. Obviously as humans we haven't worked on this properly (for many of reasons) and one more is currently happening to Palestinians. In that sense comparing randomly any two of them as to see which one is worst, it honestly doesn't make sense to me.

Do you regard the Soviets and the Nazis as equally evil?

I'm not too sure how constructive this question is. They have different characteristics for sure and this is enough for me, in terms of analysis.

This is a relevant article:

Hagai El Ad: Israel’s sham investigations cannot whitewash horrific abuse of Palestinian prisoners

That is my understanding as well and it is more of less what the article says.

It takes two to make peace.

I think in the case of the Gaza bombings of civilians (I cannot call this a war) the two parts needed for peace are the US and Israel.

Israel has been killing hundreds of Palestinians civilians in refugee centers, schools and hospitals

Just to note that actually, it's tens of thousands by now. Even during October Israel had already killed many thousands of Palestinian civilians.

I like your clarification, totally on board with that.

I’m this close to being antisemitic bro

Oh do be careful with that. Being anti-zionist is normal, plenty of Jewish people are (see: Jewish Voice for Peace). Antisemitism, is different story since it's a kind of racism with a dark history, to say the least.

Check out this archived link of the article then.

His take is spot on. It's totally worth watching and thanks for sharing.

Is this news or commentary?

It's news.

This article highlights some of the contradictions of the US, between what is said and what is done in relation to the two-state solution. The author including some personal comments does not change its core, which is informative of the current situation.

At the Olympics, athletes show guts, glory – and a lot of ink, including tattoos that profess their faith

One biblical verse bans tattoos, but the full story of Christianity’s relationship with body modification is more complicated.

TIL

the Ronald Reagan administration banned transfers of cluster munitions to Israel for several years in the 1980s after it determined that Israel had used them on civilian targets during its invasion of Lebanon.

Gallant’s visit came as Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, repeated his claim that the Biden administration was presiding over a “dramatic drop” in arms shipments to Israel in recent months, a charge that has angered US officials, who have described it as “perplexing”.

What's that claim of “dramatic drop” in arms shipments?

In the following article I see a dramatic increase. In the budget at least.

U.S. Aid to Israel in Four Charts - Council on Foreign Relations

Since the start of Israel's war with Hamas on October 7, 2023, the United States has enacted legislation providing at least $12.5 billion in military aid to Israel, which includes $3.8 billion from a bill in March 2024 (in line with the current MOU) and $8.7 billion from a supplemental appropriations act in April 2024.

Am I missing something or Israel bluntly lying again?

[Edit: Within the link above there is another link and the section with the title "What's paused". It looks like Biden paused 1 shipment to my understanding]

Right now it’s just some tough talk from both sides

How do you know that? The Zionist settler colonialist side has been doing Genocide for the past 8-9 months, this is not as you say

Just another day in the Middle East.

And like Hitler, Netanyahu is unable to stop. And unlike Hitler he is not fighting and loosing battles. When Hitler started loosing in the front, part of his entourage tried to talk him out of it, without success. This is why, there was even an attempt to kill him from inside the Nazi party.

Netanyahu on the other hand, is not loosing battles since he is just bombing and starving people, while being supported in all possible ways by the US and most of the west. Why should he stop now? The Zionist plan of eliminating or displacing all Palestinians is working fine so far.

Netanyahu is so pumped up he could easily invade Lebanon. Also Israel has attacked Lebanon twice and got defeated twice in a humiliating way. Last time was in 2006, meaning not that long ago. This is why Netanyahu has such a beef with Hezbollah. I'm afraid that Netanyahu has been given so much support and leverage from the West, he's about to start an actual war with Lebanon.
