Oh, please, you’re intentionally splitting hairs. These Israeli protestors would be happy to see Netanyahu charged with war crimes. You’re trying to paint Israelis as being callous, warmongering people who all unilaterally support the war crimes of their government, which is a blatantly ignorant and untrue view of the situation. You’re no better than those who paint Palestinians as rabid supporters of Hamas, one and all.

They do. You just haven't bothered to look: https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c722pyj1zm1o

The same is true of Palestinians and Hamas though: https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/03/22/poll-hamas-remains-popular-among-palestinians/

So weird, how people rally to support those attacking the people who've recently done them grievous harm.

There are tons of anti-war protests in Israel. You're just not hearing about them because you don't bother to look.

Yeah, unfortunately Lemmy is a magnet for far leftists and anti-American extremists. It’s got the opposite problem of some other social media platforms.

I don’t mind it at the end of the day. They make themselves pretty obvious, and once you realize what they are, they’re pretty pathetic.

See? I knew you were a terrorist supporter. Which group are you a part of?

I named one. Now you’re on about something else entirely. Go back to IS, troll.

Which were all prompted by 9/11 and various other terrorist attacks on the U.S. and its allies.

You can trace the line of cause and effect back as far as you want. Who you think are the “good guys” be the “bad guys” in this will always be biased.

Perhaps. On the other hand, conservatives love supporting Israel and attacking Muslims, so maybe that'll balance things out? Regardless, I don't an increase in oil prices will tip the scales anywhere near as much as direct U.S. military involvement would. It's a complex calculus.

The point is that by directly attacking Israel, Iran already has opened that warfront.
