The article does not mention the evidence basis, so I will keep my comment general. In the Netherlands similar accusations were made against Lucia de Berk, the evidence was based on opinions of superiors and colleagues plus the statistical unlikelihood of so many patients dying under her supervision. But crucially there was never any direct evidence that she deliberately killed patients, and in the end it turned out that she didn’t. She was particularly unliked by her colleagues because she was a sex worker in the past and that is why she was given the worst shifts (and coincidentally the shifts where more patients die). In the end her life was ruined by her colleagues and the judiciary system not understanding statistics (5 percent of all nurses have a statistically-significant high death rate). Again this case could be a real psychopath but the fact that they don’t mention the evidence basis makes me think of Lucia de Berk.

According to this math the entire population of the Netherlands has to bike on one single road more than 80 times to create the same amount of damage as one truck…

Ironically the sign indicates that ONLY busses are welcome in that street. A BBBB+ street (+ stands for bus)

I thought you were done.

It is, please reread the thread if you’re not convinced.

Great job not sounding like a sore loser. 👌

Edit: the original posts with my point aren’t even edited.

Good point pal.

That is the detail that you got stuck on. The question was: is the US culpable in the Palestinian genocide, or is Israel just a third country?

Watch the news and it should be obvious what the answer is.

What little green men do you think man the aircraft carriers, shoot down the missiles, or build the pier that was then used to kill civilians?

The US army is actively involved on every front of this war/genocide. Not to speak of the intelligence that they are probably providing.

And yes if you micro optimize the goal posts long enough there is bound to be a difference between Russian involvement in Ukraine before 2022 and Israel. But that is besides the point, the question is: would the Palestinian genocide be happening without direct US support? And the answer is irrefutably no.

Saying Israel is not the US is like saying the Ukrainian separatists between 2014 and 2022 where not Russia. Israel gets its weapons, money and international support directly from the US. Without the US Israel would not exist in its current state, and definitely would not be doing what it’s doing right now in Gaza. The US fought the Houthis to defend Israel, and without the US many many more Iranian rockets would have hit. And even if all of this was not the case and Israel was just a normal ally, the difference in response to Russias invasion of Ukraine vs Israels genocide against Palestinians still proves the point.

I would prefer to be under US hegemony than under Russian or Chinese hegemony (for the time being) but mostly because the US is richer.

But morally speaking the only difference is scale:

I‘m sorry but saying that the US cares about human rights is simply not credible. They literally have a bomb-The-Hague act in case one of their many war criminals ever faces justice.

Or explain to me why the US are allies with Saudi Arabia, but Iran is their biggest enemy. In what world is Saudi Arabia a country that cares about human rights, democracy or equality.

All actions by the US show that they only care about power and that human rights and democracy are pure rhetoric to be used when convenient.
