It's less about geopolitics and more about morals, and politics are extended ethics anyway. A simple collection of videos of Israeli settlers doing their thing should be enough for anyone with a heart to take the side of the victims. And, if the person is cautious and wary of AI and false narratives, then the phrase "if all of this is true, then yeah, this shit is horrible and they're going to Hell for it" or something similar works as a reply too.

Having said that, if you live in the West and have access to the internet/went to school, I highly doubt you've never heard about Israel, or the American wars against Vietnam, Korea, West Asia, etc etc, or the Western extermination/subjugation of the natives in the Americas, India, Congo, Australia... At this point, unless you are truly mentally challenged or sheltered and uniformed to the point of barely knowing what happened last week in your neighborhood and no more than that, you should have an opinion on these things and I can judge your moral character based on those opinions alone (we're talking mass murder, rape and theft here, not idk, smoking weed and torrenting videogames).

    Ehh... you'd be surprised at how little US schools teach about the negative aspects of wars and conflicts the US is involved in...

    Hell, for most, even Vietnam boils down to, "quagmire". So little they don't even begin to think of how fucked up it was for the US to get involved, let alone ... everything else.

    Not to defend ignorance. I fucking hate willfully ignorant people. I just mean to say many Americans aren't willfully ignorant.
