Israel, too, though if given the choice i would much rather be a 5 year old in Israel.

I’m a way yes
In another noIt’s important to be at least new aware if what’s going on. Ignorance is what allows horrible things to keep happening.

Not for a 5 y/o.
Oh I always forget that ELI5 means “I’m literally a 5-year-old” and not just someone on the internet that needs a shorthand explanation. Lol
I’ve been aware of it for a long time. I can’t change anything. Being aware of it just makes every day a little bit worse.
You’re right but being blissfully unaware is just privilege, tbh.
…And I say this as a white cishet American male.It’s a privilege I’ll happy take advantage of, for better or for worse.
“not your problem” is actually my opinion on how the US should treat this problem. if they aren’t willing to act diplomatically toward one another, we should pull all funding/whatever benefits we’re giving israel. the united states isnt giving money to israel because they care about the people; israel’s government stimulates the US economy a fuck-ton. we give them so so much money, and it’s all for the “defense” of a military of an immensely corrupt government.
according to 22 U.S.C. 2378d, we can’t provide assistance to “any unit of the security forces of a foreign country if the Secretary of State has credible information that such unit has committed a gross violation of human rights.”
I would argue that israel’s police/military have committed many gross violations of human rights, and Amnesty International would agree. The fact the we continue to support them directly contradicts our own legislation and is telling of the injustice and corruption not only in israel, but in the US as well.
tldr; the US supports israel when we have laws that say otherwise, and we’re just in it for the money. we should just entirely pull out from this stupid horseshit but our corrupt fucking government wont let us

Guess what? True for most people at any age. Take comfort in the fact that there is absolutely nothing whatsoever you can do about it.
I mean, we can vote
Who is “we”?
