    TIL Each missile fired by Israel cost $15k to build and the US taxpayer paid 40-50k for them to line the pockets of a few billionaires

    Sorted that title for you

          Alright, so what land do Israelis get and what land do Palestinians get? No matter your answer, one side is going to be pissed which leads to more conflict.

            why is it that everyone who defends Israels right to genocide always ends up calling for an ethnostate?

              Probably has something to do with the fact that when the Jewish people try to live in other states, they almost always end up persecuted.

                IDK man, I’m not seeing a genocidal Romani ethnostate, being a people universally discriminated against isn’t something special, and the others aren’t founding genocidal ethnostates

    TBH, I think the Israel iron dome system is justified. Bombing Palestinians is not.

      One is defensive and one is a genocide over land. Not really a hard choice for sane people.

        It could be argued that Israel is free to unleash their campaign of genocide because the people in Israel do not experience the horrors themselves. There is no pressure to reach an agreement. Bringing the hostages back has been the only rallying cry by Israelis, but other than that, actually ending the genocide doesn’t have much support.

        It’s similar to how so many consumer goods are produced through the use of slavery. That distance and lack of visibility mean there is little pressure from consumers to stop those practices.
