      In essence, he declares the US to be an enemy because of their support for Israel.

      That’s why this letter became viral now. That’s why you see people trying to downplay its significance.

        He also explained why it was ok in his opinion to attack and kill civilians: because the citizens of the US voted for their government and therefore it’s policies… by that standard it would be completely ok if Israel started killing civilians ON PURPOSE because Hamas is Gaza‘s government.

          Ok?

          by that standard it would be completely ok if Israel started killing ON PURPOSE because Hamas is Gaza‘s government.

          I mean, it’s the same rational any side uses to justify killing civilians. “They’re all the enemy.”

          Hamas did it.

          Israel is doing it.

          The US has done it.

            Rationalizing collateral damage is not the same as intending to cause mass death without distinction.

            If the US or Israel’s goal was maximizing death, the numbers would be astronomically higher.

            It is false equivalence.

      Bunch of religious nutjob shit plus his greatest hits. I think it went viral because he described the relationship of the US, Israel and Palestine amidst the nutjob shit.

      But as a wise man once said: you do not, under any circumstances, gotta give it to Al Qaeda
