4. Do you honestly believe
that the US gives a fuck about innocent victims of war in ANY country? The US is occupying a country that didn't pose a threat to anyone. Israel can still justift (albeit poorly imo) their assult as it is causing harm to their citizens.

And barbarity is not unique to Israel's tactics...and they are FAR from the worst as far as the broader picture. This doesn't justify it, but it does make me question the motives of those that question Israel in particular but willingly ignores other instances of genocide and global conflict..
