    That’s more of a general human trait than an American one. Yes, Americans are very fond of their exceptionalism, but valuing the lives of your own tribe and kin more than those of others is something most mammals share. I dont want war anywhere in the world. I hope you have a nice day.

        That’s exactly the problem, no one can force Netanyahu to do anything. He’s complety off his rocker. He’s doing everything to stay in power, because the moment he’s not, the courts will go after him. That’s why he’s trying to appease both those pushing for peace (Yes, I actually mean Biden here) and the warmongers (Israeli right wingers). Notice how he hasn’t gotten all the hostages back? That’s on purpose. The longer the war goes on, the better for him. Now, who do you rather want in the White House next year? A feeble old man who will go along with everything Bibi says? Or an experienced prosecutor who can put her foot down?

        I’m sorry for your friends. They need to leave, now. If war came to my doorstep, that’s what I would do.

          Please. When the serbs did genocide the NATO bombed Belgrade. Kadhaffi was gone in a week. You’re telling me the US doesn’t have leverage against Israel? Come on now. Quit giving them weapons otherwise you guys are complicit, as simple as that.

            I’d love to. Alas, all political power vested in me is in the form of a ballot. And I’ve already voted not to make the situation worse.

              That’s bullshit. That line of thinking makes you complicit with the atrocities committed in your name.

              Voting is absolutely not the only way to make your voice heard. Quite the opposite. You ate the carrot, you’re still obeying the farmer.

                In my name? The only atrocities commited in my name are the ones I committed myself. And I certainly wouldn’t call those atrocities.

                Sure, I can go out and protest, which I do.

                    You too. I think we both spend too much time in internet comments. We should get out more ❤️

        I’ve done so, Peter Welch is solidly against genocide and Bernie Sanders is trying congressional wizardry to try and cut off arms shipments.
