    I hate that every argument I have against what he’s doing makes me come off as an antisemitic douche but it REALLY seems like our government isn’t in control of what they’re doing.

    edit: to clarify, I’m not talking about the anti-genocide arguments, I don’t need to make those because they’re clear. What hold does Israel have over us that we have to get in the middle of this when they should easily be able to handle it, and how in the hell does it have bi-partisan support when few people in the US on either side seem to support it.

      “I don’t want the response to horrific things to be more horrific things inflicted on those who have no control of these events.”

      That seems pretty cut and dry…

      “They have a world class military. They can handle it without more ways to kill Palestinians” is antisemitic?

      Or, “we shouldn’t support genocide”?

          So, being called out as antisemetic inherently makes one antisemetic?

          they have a world class military. we’ve given them a some of the best equipment in the world- the entire west has. They can handle some terrorists that barely rate the term ‘paramilitary’. In fact, they can handle Hamas without killing nearly as many civilian deaths, if they really wanted to.
