We invaded Iraq for nothing, but jerk off while this happens

Not really. "Israel" is only able to do this because it has the full support of the US empire. They know they can get away with anything so long as the most war-mongering nation on the planet is with them.

If the US cut them off they would just turn to Russia. Putin and Netanyaho are like Putin and Trump. Russia would jump at the chance to broaden their foothold in the Middle East, and it would go perfectly with their narrative of fighting "Nazis" in Ukraine, and it would give the US a black eye.

The US should be doing far more to distance itself from what Israel is doing, but the only way it can actually stop it would be a committed invasion.

"How to radicalize an entire nation in 4 months."

Remember like a couple of weeks back, when the UN said that Israel had shot at their aid convoy from the sea.

Or the Israelis sitting at the border crossing preventing humanitarian aid being delivered and Israel doing very little about it. All because the suffering of 100 is more important than the suffering of millions. What kind of twisted moral one should have to believe this.

Or Israelian authorities (COGAT) withholding tent poles and delivering the so needed tents without poles, because you know tent poles are very deadly weapons.

And Israel can alleviate the suffering of all Palestinians if they want, just that they don't want, they want for Palestinians to suffer to learn their place. They are acting as a bully while screaming I am the victim in front of the rest of the world.

In any normal universe, thousands of innocent people being massacred on a single day would be bigger than 9/11. Yet aside from this post on lemmy, I've heard nothing of it. WTF is going on!?

Those that care are powerless.

Still a massacre, but did you actually read the article? It says thousands were shot at, not killed. How many people upvoting your comment pointing out a lack of information actually read the article presented to them?

Israeli troops gun down thousands of Palestinians awaiting aid in north Gaza

It says Israeli troops gun down thousands of Palestinians awaiting aid in north Gaza, did you read the fucking article, it’s right in the title.

“gun down thousands”

That does not mean shot at, that means killed.

Did YOU read the article?

No official death toll is yet available; nevertheless, local reports say anywhere between 80 and 200 Gazans were killed during the latest Israeli massacre.

It doesn't strategically affect the 3 major powers. And also you probably need to tweak your news sources if none of them are telling you about this.

don't you know? they're brown, so it clearly doesn't matter
