    Unless it impacts trade routes, the US gov will, unfortunately, not give a fuck.

      You may be right, but things have changed a lot in 3.5 months, and I hope there’s more change to come. The West was blindly supportive of Israel in October (and blindly intolerant of anyone who criticized Israel). Biden’s tone with Netanyahu has changed. I don’t know what’s to come, but I’m hoping for some justice. Let’s get it started in the International Court of Justice!

        I do notice I don’t see a lot of the pro Israel bots around much, unless I blocked them or they blocked me…. Hmmm

      For real if it was a Senator’s kid or a billionaire’s kid it would be a totally different story. My heart breaks for this man, I hope his murderers face justice.

      Our support is impacting trade routes since US ships are getting attacked in the Red Sea.
