    Not super surprising. We tend to follow whatever the US does in terms of international politics.

      Yeah but sometimes we put our foot down like with Iraq.

      Except this time, were selling military equipment to Israel, so local company profits are at stake. So of course our government will support this genocide.

      Not to mention the government has the B’nai B’rith and ADF up their asses ready to call everyone antisemite as soon as someone looks at Israel the wrong way.

        The colonizer is the bad guy and the colonized in the good guy. It’s that simple

          Are you a colonizer too? Unless you’re 100% First Nations (you aren’t) then you are by your own logic a colonizer and doing harm.

    Sige… Sige is when you get shot by thousands of terrorist rockets and defend yourself…

      No, siege is when you are suffering from a famine because a government that hasn’t received a vote in 15 years picked a fight with a heavily armed neighbor, and said neighbor collectively punishes all of your people for their mistakes (which is a war crime, btw).

        Ah yes the millions of food trucks Israel send aren’t real… Its not Israels fault that Hamas takes all the food away from people.

          You are misinformed. The food trucks are not from Israel. They are being blockaded by Israel and the food destroyed. There’s ample evidence for this. They film themselves doing it.
