    Why the hell are the World presidents not doing anything against this?

    Like anything. All they do is talking, talking and talking but zero fucking actions.

    The horrendous shit Israel been doing for decades has been well documented. This current genocide is being well documented.

    It is happening in front of everyone’s eyes but nothing.

    Israel government shouts “antisemitism” and putting on a star from WW2 on its chest and play the victim card. Yet the world presidents seems to not want to realize Hamas only exists and got immensely radical because of Israel actions.

    Hamas wouldn’t even have existed if Israel didn’t stole the land.

    This world is just so damned.

      While I’m no scholar, I really think it’s a geo-political issue. If the West doesn’t support Israel, then Russia will and gain considerable power in the Middle East. It’s the only reason I can think of. Any one have any ideas?

        I don’t know that it matters anymore. This so clearly breaks with stated American values that’s it’s now just a matter of time before we break ties with Israel. I’m willing to bet the Russians and Chinese are already setting up shop there.

          Russia and China have both condemned Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and called for ceasefires. On the other hand, the US is actively funding the genocide. That’s US values.

            Russia is more or less openly supporting Hamas and China is choosing a transparent and clumsy policy of endearing themselves with the global South by only condemning Israel and not even mentioning Hamas. Neither nation should be admired for what they are doing.

            Yeah I get that. And there’s going to be an internal reckoning over those values too. You can’t tell entire generations of people that we’re the good guys and genocide is a bad guy thing and not have a consequence.

            This is literally the doing of a tiny group of Americans that can’t really be touched until this upcoming November. I’m partially just sitting here in horror watching Biden shoot himself in the foot repeatedly.

            And while Russia and China have made statements condemning Israel, if we managed to convince Biden to cut them loose, they’d be there in an instant. It’s all an influence game.

      Short answer? Money. The “west’s” geopolitical agenda relies on Israel to be a stronghold of their fucked up values in the Middle East. Israel gets cover for their insane genocidal shit like this, they get to act like a superpower in the middle of the second least geopolitically powerful region of the world, the us and the EU get their ally, the defense contractors get a bunch of money. They all win.

      Money. It’s all money and power. They’ve proven over and over again that none of them give a shit about the Palestinian people. They’re still refusing to condemn Israel, but they are trying to delicately play both sides by being “disappointed” or whatever politically expedient statements they make while fully funding and ultimately defending…well, genocide. It’s genocide.

      You do realise that a lot of countries have parliamentary republic form of government and presidents of those countries don’t have real power, right?
