I personally know people who lived under Israel's illegal occupation of Lebanon. If America knew even HALF of the shit they get up to, we would demand all funding be cut off immediately.
They still wouldn’t care. Just look at the police as an example.
Lol, what? Our government has always been pro-genocide.
The government, yes, the American citizens, not so much.
Been making the demands of my reps since October to cut funding, but funnily enough they aren’t exactly receptive to those who aren’t military contractor lobbyists. Go figure.
There's reports from IDF veterans that amount to eyewitness accounts of war crimes over the years. According to them the IDF does those things routinely. The example I remember off the top of my head is searching random Palestinian houses in the West Bank and of course any resistance is dealt with harshly.
Hey guys, someone on the internet claims they personally know someone that made claims that some bad things happened. Well guess we gotta cut off funding now!
A single anecdote isn't data, but collectively, if they were actually reported? It would change hearts and minds. Funny how they aren't being reported, unless it's an American involved:

These are the sorts of stories I'm talking about, they happen all the time and have been happening for decades.
