Honestly, it seems like everyone in that place wants to kill everyone else. You could swap the sides in that meme and it'd still make sense.
No. Most of the civilian populations don't want it. They're the victims caught in the middle between the fascist Netanyahu government and the Hamas terrorists.
The civilian population doesn't deserve it, but I'm not convinced that they don't want to murder the other side. Israeli polls on whether Palestinians should be treated as human beings often return... concerning percentages.
And if we had any trustable polls from Palestine about a similar thing... I think some people would be surprised.
It's not clear to me that the civilian population of Israel doesn't want what is happening.
They're the only people on the planet who can simply decide that things should be some other way, and then they would be that other way.
At some level, the Israeli people want it support the destruction of the Palestinian people, otherwise this would end. They need to take some responsibility for the government they allow.
Not a bad slogan for the Middle East as a whole. See? It works on multiple levels.
From the river to the sea...
The area previously known as Palestine and Israel will be human free
That would solve some issues. Not like piles of corpses that once were innocent living people are going to need an upkeep.
Sounds like a compromise
No one that I know of from the West has tried for compromise in Palestine since the 1990s. The sign should say "We stand with Israel! Here's some weapons." Biden putting sanctions on like 4 people somehow counts as this revolutionary sign of progress, and they're still in the middle of blowing up the last of the medical facilities.
Don't forget that Biden's "targeting" Israeli settlers as if they give a fuck what some old guy in America thinks. The sanctions will make fuck all of a difference.
