Some have labelled Israel as a rogue nation, but their actions are explicitly and implicitly condoned through other nation’s support and silence.

[-] voldage@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago

I don't think that's really the case though? I'm pretty sure most nations condemned Israel except for USA, but USA blocked all attempts from anyone to do anything. And when USA says that commiting genocide with their weapons is on the table, I doubt any country wishes to find out what would happen should any concrete action against Israel be taken. It's a big part of the reason why everyone calls USA complicit in genocide of Palestinians.

I have no reason to believe Germany's government condemns Israel's actions right now, and the way they always point out its right to defend itself, I suspect they actively condone them..

[-] voldage@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Yeah well Germany does seem a bit anxious for some reason when someone mentions Israel and genocide in one sentence, but if anyone in the world should have any reasons to be unreasonably pro-Israel, that would be them. And even then, their performative support pales in comparison to USA. IDF literally murdered USA citizens and USA congratulated them for that. That takes real dedication to the cause!

Just to be clear, everyday US citizens do not condone this shit.

[-] orcrist@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

Many US citizens do, though. Some Americans are happy to see Muslims die, and other Americans are happy to see Muslims and Jews kill each other.

We don't know the exact numbers, but Trump is running on a platform of overt racism, so a rough estimate might be in the tens of millions.

Well in Idaho, just about everyone I know who lives there supports Israel. And in Texas there are a bunch of people criticizing Kamala and our state's Democratic candidate for Senator for being radically pro-Hamas.

I hate that I have to specify sane.

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 3 points 13 hours ago

Both major parties and most US citizens absolutely condone this shit.
