Simplicity is childish. And yet you fucking agree with it.
It isn't complex. The "complexity" is that Israel is a military ally, and we sell fucktons of weapons to them. The "complexity" is that Israel justifies their actions by pretending that the political situation is complex. The "complexity" is that Israel contributes lots of money to various politicians to let them do their genocide. The "complexity" is that Israel pretends to represent all Jewish people and uses them as a shield for their actions and then calls any criticism antisemitism.
The complex part is that the US doesn't want to intervene, in spite of an internationally recognized duty to do so should a genocide be happening. That's why people don't want to call it a genocide. If you call it a genocide, you have to do what you can to stop it. But no, we can sweep the hundred thousand plus dead Palestinian children under the fucking rug.
The "complex" part is that it's a genocide. Anyone that defends this shit (including you) is a fucking depraved loser.
Yeah, narrow down the 3000 years of history to what's been happening in the last 30, that's a grown-up thing to do. :)
I also would love to hear where in my posts did you see any defence of genocide, because right now it seems like you're just imagining things and then getting angry at them.
