And this is our fundamental disagreement. No action I could take would have stopped the US's support of the genocide.
However there was 1 action that I chose to take that could have prevented those murders. You chose in-action resulting in more deaths
Genocide is only inevitable because a huge swath of people like you agree that it is something that isn't too important to fundamentally change.
It's happening in another country on the other side of the planet, champ. Contrary to what you may believe, the U.S. isn't world police. We don't stop genocides in other countries with the wave of a hand or cast of a vote.
The genocide was happening with Kamala or Trump. Trump gives it two big thumbs up. Those who didn't vote or voted 3rd party gave Trump the permission to make an already bad situation way worse for Palestinians.
Without US money and US bombs, the genocide couldn't continue.
Contrary to what you believe, the US is in fact trying to be world police and are succeeding in that mission. 128 military bases in 55 countries. Russia has military bases in 12 other countries and China has 3. The UK has 13.
Lolz.
