Israel started the genocide before we sent them a dime, it's not "our" genocide. Put the blame on Bibi and Likud where it belongs.
Lmao some people really do think October 7th was the start of history.
Ahem: no. You are embarrassingly wrong.
If you're talking the current genocide, yes, it absolutely started 10/7.
If you're talking the 1939 style ghettoization of Palestinians in Gaza, yeah, that's been going on for 30 years.
US support for this genocide far predates 10/7. The US props up the apartheid Zionist regime in all its racism and the maintenance of the concentration camp that is Gaza. It donates weapons, provides logistical support, sends a running stipend in the billions, provides diplomatic support, creates the PR and media consciousness for Hasnard to the point that a person might think the US didn't support this genocide until 10/7.
Instead of doubling down when you are obviously wrong, please learn this lesson in humility and act more appropriately next time so as not to disrespect yourself nor the pro-genocide status quo.
The Zionist entity only exists at all with its imperial sponsors. First the British then the Americans. Every JDAM used by the zionist entity to blow up hospitals and schools and mosques and churches and residential blocks was produced by Boeing and paid for by the US government. There is no delineation in US support for Israel re: October 7, just a quantitative increase in already qualitative support. Without ongoing American support they would not have even attempted their traditional terrorist bombing campaign directed at the civilians WMD infrastructure of Gaza.
Don't be silly.
