I for one will be holding my representatives responsible who continue to vote for the US to enable a genocide. The videos coming out of Gaza have turned me and many others into single issue voters.

Think whatever you want. The tide of public opinion is turning against Israel and their American benefactors.

Of course it is. It’s the resources of 2 billion people against the resources of 20 million people, driven by goals of religious domination by the larger side.

Just taking the US example, this is the same public who were gullible enough to think that Donald and Kamala were good candidates. Of course their opinion is swayed by that much propaganda.

I’m not talking about global opinion so your 2 billion ((Muslim)) figure is irrelevant. I’m talking about US voter opinion. Which is the only thing that’s relevant here because Israel only feels safe committing a genocide because it has the world’s most powerful military force protecting and funding it. This conflict has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with securing the Suez Canal and destabilizing the region so the US can keep its control over (oil) resources.

It’s clear who has the most power in this situation and it’s not the “2 billion”. It’s the “420 million” US + Israeli citizens who make up the military coalition that is currently decimating a population of < 2 million. You want to talk about numbers? Let’s talk numbers. If there’s such a power imbalance why is the ratio of Gaza’s killed to Israelis 100:1 in this “war”?
