    That means they’re playing the optics for a western audience in a self serving, hypocritical way.

    I’m less worried about the hypocrisy than I am about civilian deaths.

    But you do you.

      You should be, because the u.s. will use this theater to justify sending huge amounts of military aid to Israel to level Gaza. Fuck Hamas but the u.s. sending more weapons over isn’t going to help this situation.

        Gaza is something like 300km^2. Israel has more than enough to level it a thousand times over. They have hundreds of artillery pieces, hundreds of fighters, an entire navy, something like a thousand tanks, …

        Hell, given they likely have hundreds of nukes, they could level the entire middle-east and end global civilisation as we know it.

        The US giving Israel more military aid now, is politics. Not much more.
