It’s not

It’s about a conflict that has become so grotesque that it is in clear violation of every global treaty defining “war crimes”

It’s about whether you believe in the “rules of war” or are happy for world conflicts to unravel.

I have asked people from both ‘sides’ to join me in denouncing all war crimes and have as yet to receive a positive reply.
Very telling…

Apologists say it's about western civilisation vs the rest. If that's western civilisation, count me out.

grouchymarx.bsky.social•180 days ago

I disagree. It is about sides: 'American interests' v perceived non-American interests.

If the USA genuinely believed in 'freedom & self-determination', Palestine today would be free & you would not be arming Israel's genocide.

The whole world sees America's hypocrisy, & is not going to forget it.

People who don’t believe in the rule of law probably won’t care about the rules of war. And it’s sickening.

Actually, it's about religion. Always has been. Those people have been killing each other for thousands of years. It won't stop, nor will it change until religion is gone. Sad to say, but it's a fact.

American have been killing and taken over countries for decades and that needs to stop ✋ other countries need to stop dealing with them

mutanttaint.bsky.social•180 days ago

Irrelevant to religion.

thebirdsnest.bsky.social•180 days ago

If it was about religion than we would see killing in other areas where our two religions intersect in other democratic countries. We don’t, it is about colonialism.

mutanttaint.bsky.social•180 days ago

It is in fact about religion. Muslims, Christians, jews, all killing each other over storybooks. We do see it all over the world. Perhaps you should update yourself on current events.

If political Islam were gone it would already help a lot.

If a religious creed contains the eradication of an entire people, specified by their creed, it is a bit of an issue.

mutanttaint.bsky.social•180 days ago

It's not just Islam. It's all religions.

mssummerblossom.bsky.social•180 days ago

Of course.

One can differentiate between them however.

Would you say that Buddhism causes as many political issues as Islam for instance?

Maybe in India, over all bhuddism seems to be pretty peaceful to the rest of the world.

I also saw where it is a testing ground for hacking surveillance that is then sold to other countries.

Global treaties are of little use when a nation has been so indoctrinated as to deem those it oppresses to be less than human. IDF soldiers have been trained to treat the murder of innocent civilians as little more than exterminating vermin - the rules of humanity no longer apply.

😞

grouchymarx.bsky.social•180 days ago

Just like in Nazi Germany. The irony.

gillmh.bsky.social•180 days ago

Exactly like that. Many Jewish people have pointed this out to the Zionists.
