    Apart from the Ben Shapiro Aquaman joke, I'm actually pretty distraught about this. A rogue nation state has committed war crime by collective punishment, cutting electricity, water, food, and critical humanitarian aid. Then they announced that they gonna kill thousands of innocent civilians in 24 hours super-villain twirling moustache style. Everyone knows people in Gaza cannot escape.

    The world have like 20 hours to act to prevent an indiscriminate slaughter of civilians in blatant disregards of international law, yet noone does anything while a lot of supposed good guys democracies cheers and light up their landmarks with the flag of the completely rogue nation state.

    Fuck everything

      I don't know if it's European guilt, or just bloodlust for brown people that let them allow this. Probably both. The times I have heared "they can defend themselves with any measure necessary" with the justification that the Holocaust happened, is mind boggling, and they don't seem to detect any grain of irony in their statement.

        It is both, with some religious fundamentalism thrown in too, remember many evangelicals in the US think Israel will help bring the second coming.

      it's not true that the good democracies are doing nothing. not at all.

      they're busy banning every form of protest against this.
