It seems everyone wants a ceasefire except representatives of the US. Are they just waiting for them to "get it out of their systems?"

One would hope for an actual humanitarian ceasefire. But a humanitarian pause seems to be a pause to bandage up people and get them some food for a small period before allowing Israel to bomb those same people again.

A proper ceasefire is really needed right now, but the US and Europe seems very opposed, and is rather arguing about the terms 'ceasefire' and 'pause', as if that's the most important thing right now.

It's probably US-bought goods they're using to fire. Return customers are good for business.

The US needs Israel to destabilize the region and help develop methods of oppression.

What are you talking about? The US sends billions to Israel every year. We support Israel because of a mix of wanting a permanent outpost in the middle east and Christian Zionism.

They may be thinking of the lobbying done by AIPAC to influence the relationship between the U.S. and Israel.

Next headline will be about Israel attacking Japan for being antisemitic.

[-] Zorque@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago

Israel isn't even listening to Israel. Theure not taking cues from anyone else either.

I think South Korea would be a more important voice than Japan, but about all they've done is blamed the attacks on North Korea of all places.
