Perhaps the best way to stop people from committing acts of violence in response to the genocide in Gaza would be to cease actively fucking facilitating the fucking genocide in Gaza.
Support for Israel used to be the overwhelmingly dominant opinion in the western world. Luckily that's changing, but the fact that it was true until Israel exposed itself shows you really can't just go along with majority opinion on any issue. You need to think for yourself.
Ignore what the crowd says. Ignore people who scream at you for disagreeing with their position. Look at the raw facts as free from your own cognitive biases as you are able, and have the courage to stand on your own if necessary.
Saying the US is "complicit" in the Gaza genocide is like saying Hitler was complicit in the Holocaust. This is the USA's genocide as much as it is Israel's.
If you saw one man holding someone down while another man slashes their throat, you wouldn't say you saw one murderer and one complicit bystander, you would say you saw someone being murdered by two men.
If you drove your friend to the house of someone you hate, helped him break in, tackled your victim together, handed your friend a knife, held your victim down while your friend slit their throat, and then drove the getaway car and helped your friend dispose of the evidence, nobody would describe you as merely "complicit" in that crime. If you were caught, you would both be charged with premeditated homicide, and everyone would view you as a murderer.
The US — and to a lesser extent its western allies — have been actively participating in this genocide since day one. They've been supplying the weapons. They've been providing military intelligence. They've been backing Israel in the UN. They've been bombing Yemen off and on to stop it from imposing a blockade in an effort to rescue Gaza. They've been providing political and diplomatic cover to ensure that the genocide can continue uninterrupted without any consequences.
Israeli military insiders have openly acknowledged that this genocide would have been impossible without Washington's backing. Both Biden and Trump have had the ability to end this nightmare at any time with a single phone call threatening to withhold aid if peace isn't made. Instead of making that call, they have continued knowingly and actively participating in the crime. Holding onto the struggling victim while the knife blade comes down.
The argument for the US-led world order is over. It's done. There is no coming back from this. That they would commit history's first live-streamed genocide in full view of the entire world means they cannot be left to lead the world any longer. The globe-spanning power structure that is loosely centralized around Washington must be brought down. Humanity has no future if these monsters are left in charge.
If you believe that all the violence and destruction in Gaza is the fault of Hamas then by your own logic you must also accept that the coming wave of antisemitism and violent extremism which is going to ensue from the incineration of Gaza will exclusively be the fault of Israel.
The most wholesome thing on the internet right now is Yemeni forces keeping a running tally of the US MQ-9 Reaper drones they've been destroying. These things are 30 million dollars apiece.
American officials have said that if
there is no progress on the Ukrainian case, the United States will wash its hands of it. Wisely. And the EU should do the same. Then Russia will figure it out faster.
What's the narrative here, Israel apologists? Were there Hamas bases in each individual piece of medical equipment? Was there a tunnel in the EKG machine? Were the dialysis machines being used as human shields? What's the hasbara line on this?

State Department spokesman shouts down questions about Hersh's report and refuses to "let this propaganda be aired in the briefing room," as one does when one is totally chill and having a normal one.
It really is a cruel joke how our rulers hide their actions behind thick veils of government secrecy, harshly punish anyone who tries to look behind those veils, and then brand those who try to form theories about what they're doing behind those veils as "conspiracy theorists".
Noen som har spurt seg selv om det er verdt prisen som er å få omgjort landet vårt til pukk for at amerikanerne skal ha et strategisk viktig inngangspunkt ved en ønsket krig mot Russland? Er ikke det viktigste av alt å ha et levelig land å overgi til de kommende generasjonene?
