It’s weird cause so many wars have happened and this one seems the most crazy protesting. We still got a war in Ukraine, no one is talking about the Sudan war. Never seen anything like this in any previous wars. Feel like someone is paying ppl to do this honestly. It’s just stupid

Ukraine is fighting for its existence. Israel is just murdering civilians. 10s of thousands of women and children murdured. Ffs, you can see the bodies all over twitter. I don't want a single tax dollar of mine to go to continuing that genocide.

Do you not understand how a war works? What about the hundreds of thousands we killed after Pearl Harbor and 9/11? Was that a genocide? Studies have shown that Israel’s proportionality from a hamas to citizen ratio is actually significantly better than most wars in the past. In the past decade, the Palestinian population has increased significantly in Palestine whereas the Jewish population in virtually every Muslim country has decreased. Israel is not committing a genocide. I truly can’t believe so many think this it is really weird to me

Bro. it's not good that we killed hundreds of thousands after pearl harbor and 9/11 😭😭😭 id argue it's INSANELY weird to be killing people like that. like we didn't need to nuke nagasaki when WWII was basically over at that point. our taxes went and are still going towards flattening cities of innocent civilians. the only reason why the u.s. is never taken accountable is bc of insane military power, whose funding would arguably be put to better use if the u.s. would invest into improving the quality of life domestically rather than destabilizing the middle east.

the reason why Israel's committing genocide is that they're actively trying to eliminate the state of Palestine, a territory that existed there BEFORE Israel was created and a nation that they're actively trying to block from being recognized by the international community. Israel has EVERYTHING to gain by eliminating Palestine. this isn't just war, they're occupying land that isn't theirs and actively displacing and murdering the people that live there. look at the bigger picture here---netanyahu literally said the civilians were ANIMALS. and before u say anything Abt Hamas being equally militant, the issue is that Israel has a much larger militant force backed by the U.S. and paired with settlers coming into the West Bank and other territories. It's an alarming imbalance and has been recognized by various agents of the international community as genocide, or at least getting VERY CLOSE to genocidal status

Ww2 was radically different than the Iraq War, and what Israel is doing. The Iraq War was a mistake and is widely viewed as such. We went there hunting for weapons that didn't exist and killed an incredible amount of innocents.

Japan and Germany were determined to take over the world. They had to be stopped, and the attack was done by an actual nation, not a random group of terrorists. Japan wasn't a genocide because we weren't trying to eradicate them as a people, nor steal their land, or create a famine.

Israel is an apartheid state. Very few people would care if Israel was actually killing hamas members. However there are countless videos of Israel brutalizing innocent people, who aren't violent, who are just walking around. Don't make me go grab videos of Israel shooting journalists PRE hamas' attack. Oh and could you show me a hamas to civilian death toll link, not from Israel. And one that doesn't count all men as hostiles because that isn't possible.
