Completely true if you don't consider Palestinians as equals. Or Vietnamese. Or Koreans. Or Black people. Or Ukrainians. Or women. Or the entire continent of Africa. Or the entire continent of South America. Or the entire continent of Asia.
Literally unbelievable you'd be saying this during genocide in Palestine and western invasion of Iran.
Absurdly dumb take.
"Our flaws are nothing compared", that's what op actually said.
What's genocide of Gaza nothing compared to? What could possibly be worse than that? What worse than threatening an entire country with "the elimination of a civilization"?
OP didn't say there weren't problems in other countries. Also, Israel \ US isn't "the west", everyone I know hates that shit and Europe just gets the terrorism end of this bullshit.
But maybe I can still find equivalents to the Palestinian genocide, in the death famine of all north Koreans, in the genocide of the Uighurs, in the killing of 40k Iranians by it's own regime.
Two things can be true.
My brother in christ. Seriously? Just go read about what the US did to North Korea. The famines in North Korea are squarely the fault of the US. The US literally bombed every single building in North Korea and continued to drop napalm on the country until the people there had to live in caves to not be stuck with flesh burning chemical glue bombs. What the actual fuck?
The genocide where the population continued to grow? That genocide? Very interesting genocide that one.
It was reported as 30k. In two days. Please, go read something. Anything. Hell, ask a.i. and you'll be better informed than you are now even if it hallucinates. Israel hasn't killed 30k in two days and they ghettoized an entire nation and bomb densely populated refugee camps with military planes, tanks, and artillery. There is no way Iranian police killed 30k people in 2 days with small arms fire.
