Literally doubling down on a war crime. I truly don't understand why America supports Israel at this point. I don't see what we gain by continuing support, nor do I see what we lose by not continuing support. We lose more international respect with every passing day of complicity to Israel's genocidal conquest. We were supposed to be better than this.

The Wix internal chat encouraging creation of propaganda summed it up very well: “show Westernity… unlike the Gazans, we look and live like Europeans or Americans.”
They are a strong extension of western power in an area that is traditionally not all that friendly, as Joe Biden will tell anyone, “if Israel didn’t exist we would have to make an Israel.”
The US talks about moral superiority pretty often but has a long history of supporting friendly despots, we hear all about the murderers who took over Cuba and little about the US ally and mass murderer Bautista, or Pinochet, or Saddam Hussein. They would overthrow Jesus Christ and Ghandi if US interests were threatened. As long as they remain friendly to the US they can do just about anything with US carriers to protect them.

Because USA may not be better than Israël ?
But It's okay, Israel is the good guy, remember? /s
If you dont add "/s" then some people (especially those who dont speak English natively) will think you're actually supporting Israel.
If you dont want to reinforce their opinions, please remember to always add "/s" at the end of your comment if you're beingsarcasric. Its necessary in text communities.
You forgot /s
I really want to believe that Israel is good. But then I see a child being dragged out of rubble after being bombed. And now Israel bombed a refugee camp. It makes me question if they’re the good guys. How can I get rid of these conflicting thoughts in my head?

Realize that they aren't the good guys? That this petty land conflict has been raging on for decades, and it always hit the civilians on both sides (exponentially worse for the Palestinians). IDF and Hamas can fuck themselves.
But if Israel is the bad guys, then that would mean America and the Western world are bad guys too. I’d have to rethink what I’ve been taught and told my entire life. It would be more comfortable to just believe the lies I’ve been told. If I did want to accept that Israel and America are the bad guys, could you give me any advice on how to educate myself about the lies I’ve been told?
Yes. We (America) are also the bad guys.
More like America is the head of that snake.
They bombed it twice in 2 days
Guess they didn't kill all the children
