      That’s whataboutism. I get your hatred for the US. I feel the same. Fuck 'em. But just bc the US and Israel are evil, we shouldn’t suddenly start praising the Russian fascists.

      Even though that’s Israel technically, I’d still say yes. The US is propping them up enough that they are liable.

      The U.S. isn’t directly attacking Palestine, and what it’s done in Iran, while terrible, isn’t genocide. That said, yes the U.S. should face consequences for supporting Isreal as it commits genocide, and for attacking Iran, amongst other things.

        The president posted on his own social media, that a civilization will die tonight, and that he’s going to bomb Iran back to the stone age, where they belong. Then he carpet bombed heavily populated civilian centers. That’s the definition of genocide, bud. He’s attacked water treatment facilities, hotels, school, hospitals, etc. I think it’s pretty obvious that your hesitant to call it a genocide, when in reality, it’s fairly obvious.
