    The middle east’s only democracy. Where they kidnap you in international waters and brutalize you for daring to bring food to starving people.

    Can people in the USA make trump sanction israel by mass strikes that bring the economy to a standstill? Europe can’t arrest Netanyahu cause America is their dog, but in the end the people create profit for business so… when are y’all mass striking? aka just sitting at home and organizing strike funds for those in need?

      People don’t care enough about it for multiple reasons, one of them is that governments have a tight grip on public information and aren’t letting too much coverage from gaza on the news

        they’re also limiting coverage of what people are doing in the face of all this to create the impression that everyone is okay with this

      We’re kind of dealing with some stuff…

      Largest prison population. Largest homeless population(1st world.)
      Lack of affordable healthcare. Domestic terrorism from mass shooters to ICE…
      Other affordability issues. Media ran by 4 oligarchs. Which don’t cover our mass protests, which millions of us are turning out for.

      Israel? Gaza? Iran? Hate to say it but kind of the bottom of the list. Even worse… Americans are quite islamophobic. There’s quite a bit of sentiment that literally boils down to: bomb them (not Israel) back to the stone age or simply straight to hell.

      Europe could totally arrest Bibi. We the people (especially under 50s) don’t really care about Israel(or bottom of list). There’s nothing USA could really do besides sanctions…? China is refusing to recognize US sanctions, which seems like a good precedent.

      And really the only way to get Trump to do anything is to bribe him and kiss his ass so I really don’t see that happening.
