It’s 2025. Israeli soldiers are telling the Israeli press that they’re being ordered to massacre starving civilians trying to obtain food from aid centers. Countless doctors have been telling the world that Israeli snipers are routinely, deliberately shooting children in the head and chest throughout the Gaza Strip. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and all the leading genocide experts and human rights authorities are saying that a genocide is being perpetrated in Gaza. The New York fucking Times just published an op-ed by a Zionist genocide scholar who’s finally admitting that it’s a genocide.

There’s no way to deny what this is anymore. If you still support Israel in the year 2025, it’s not because you don’t believe Israel is committing horrific atrocities. It’s because you believe those horrific atrocities are good, and you want to see more of them.

Israel government is especially bad but i would like to extend this to pretty much any government around the world. The genocide in gaza is possible only thanks to the support and aid of other states.

If you're still supporting your government in 2025, there's something wrong with you as a person, you are most likely too selfish and don't care much about others.

    No, no. This is on Israel and the USA. The states fighting the genocide are treated as pariah states by the USA, committing acts of war against them (Iran, Yemen, Syria). Other countries have full hands against the most moronic idea of a president of the USA ever, whether in reality or in fiction, trying to protect their people. At some extent European countries should be ashamed too of their role in this, but honestly, they are just vassals of the USA which is ultimately the only one who can stop this without risking a war against a superpower.

    No. European countries and complicit Arab countries do not get a pass. The only government you should support are those that go directly against the genocide such as Yemen, Iran, Hezbollah.

    Hell, I've been a huge China simp for years, but even Chinas "neutrality", even while leaning towards support for Iran, tows the line for me. European countries aren't even neutral.

    "We have to support a genocide because....cheeto?" Isn't an excuse, especially when they supported the genocide the same way under Biden.

    I think the USA is finally loosing strength and change is coming, but still no one wants to mess with them. The two or three countries that may have a chance against them, are not fond of this idea. No one real is willing to stop Israel right now, because it is in fact a protectorate of the USA, but that doesn't mean they support the genocide. Time is a luxury as well as a necessity right now.

    Can we simply agree that there's no good government out there? You don't have to support one of them, support the people.

    Funny how that translates to the same exact pro-genocide stance they had under Biden.

    So they're just following orders?

    I know the genocide can be stopped by the USA, any other country may or may not.
