I'm not going to spend a single joule feeling bad for the country when they've let it get to this point and show no remorse or even willingness to change. This isn't a case of a troubled person who just needs help, this is a country that was literally built on genocide to export fascism.
I completely agree.
I guess it's good to be empathetic by default, there are plenty of situations where the villain really is a victim of circumstance and just wants an out.
I generally tend to view US regime as simply having no regard for human life. It's not that they commit atrocities for the sake of committing atrocities, but rather they see atrocities as means through which they advance their geopolitical goals. And in case of Israel, the genocide isn't really helping US geopolitically.
Which is the main reason I see the atrocities as being the goal. The fact they're willing to "spend" their geopolitical power on genocide really tells you what their end game really is. I struggle to think of any other framework where it would make sense to do such a thing.
Thing is that the genocide is now united all the Arab nations against both US and Israel. If all the countries in the region put up a united front, then US will end up being kicked out of the Middle East in the long term, and project Israel will likely collapse as well.
Yes please 🤤
