@sf415415415 @sf415415415 “read a book,” Mein Kampf was a book. Just because it’s on paper doesn’t make it true or virtuous. You really think every single person in Gaza that has died in this conflict is completely innocent? There are no armaments or armed people in Gaza? In any case, any civilians who are killed in the cross fire are killed because Hamas wants them dead to keep brainwashing idiots like you. It’s a tragedy that civilians are dying, but recognize that blame must be placed where blame is due. Hamas actively and intentionally embeds themselves in civilian populations and infrastructure. They make hospitals into command centers, mosques into armament storage depots, and schools into rocket launching pads.

9 million people displaced in Sudan in the last year, no one cares. 1.4 Afghan refugees in Pakistan are being forced back into Afghanistan, into the Taliban’s waiting arms. No one cares. Decade long civil wars in both Syria and Yemen have killed almost a million people. No one cares. Eastern Ukraine looks just like Gaza, no one cares. But Gaza ermagod is so incredibly important that y’all are just frothing at the mouth over it. Why? Why Gaza and nothing else? That’s a question for you. You don’t have to answer me.

@sf415415415 So you only protest U.S. tax dollars fueling conflicts. Iran funding Hamas or the funding players in any of the conflicts I listed don’t count. It’s all just “whataboutism” unless it interests you personally.
