The fact that Alex Jones beat her to the punch on calling it a genocide is embarrassing.

The only reason he did that was because it allowed him to rail against jews. Had it been done by America, Jones would have cheered.

The US isn't complicit. It (along with several European countries) are active participants by supplying weapons, intelligence and as is rumoured, bodies on the ground

[–] Belastend@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

My point still stands. The main perpetrators pf and main agitators for an extended bombing campaign (read genocide) are Israeli politicians. If the US under a republican President were to bomb the gaza strip to shut without israeli consent, Jones would be silent.
