    Because on top of furnishing unlimited weapons despite verified reports that Israel is killing civilians with them, the US are blocking any resolution of that conflict on an international level by using the UNO veto

      Yeah, because they’re one of closest allies. They want our America’s and Israel wants theirs. America will keep scratching their back until they don’t need them anymore. That’s foreign politics in a nutshell. Still not America’s fault that Israel are being monstrous. Europe isn’t doing anything either besides kicking the can to America, who is somehow both the bogeyman and Dad of the world.

      USA is in a tight spot: Hamas are terrorists who committed a 9/11 against Israel. Israel retaliates by scorched earth bombing/airstrikes that kill thousands of civilians. America can condemn this, thereby condemning themselves for past actions/killing and really piss off a crucial ally (a buffer state for their own anti-terrorist schemes) or they can support them with one hand and do humanitarian work with the other. I don’t have the answers on what should be done but still none of this blaming-USA-for-all-of-it bullshit sits right at all.
