Very cool how neoliberals and libertarians are being annoying weirdos and nonchalantly defending Joe Biden as he continues to support the Palestinian genocide

    Per my view, Israel has the right to self determination and the Jewish people deserve to have a country to call home. IMO, this right is not based on any religious belief but their history in that region. The Palestinian people are not Hamas though, they’re people unlucky enough to born in that region and in this time.

    Politicians killing children to stay in power does not do justice to the ideals of Judaism and is a disservice to the Israeli people as it alienates them from their neighbors. If I could, I would advance understanding between Muslim politicians and Israeli politicians in that region, but it’s not my field lol

    I kinda wish society would be more secular as I think that would resolve a lot of issues in that region, and also in the US tbh.

    So to answer your question, I think that’s the frustration that people feel when they encounter this situation and you see it in memes etc here and there

      Also (and I can’t believe that I need to say this), killing children is wrong.

      Perhaps some things would improve, but this is a war over resources, not religion.

        GW Bush literally dropped bombs on Iraq because he believed he was fighting against Gog and Magog. Religion is a huge part of the instability in that region. The Iraq war is kind of related to this conflict as the (mis)treatment of Muslim nations and Muslims in that region by Western powers and their allies often is because of religious motivations
