My parents’ conservative bubble of news has informed them that the starvation is because Hamas shoots at Palestinians who try to get aid.
(I told them, “Wow, so Hamas and the IDF have something in common?”)
You really served them. Did they apologize for being so wrong?
Probably not, because that’s not how cognitive dissonance works.
Cognitive dissonance isn’t caused by holding contradictory views. It’s when holding those views causes mental anguish. Hell, in this case they’re simply misinformed, nothing contradictory here. I’m sure they simply didn’t believe OP, no problem.
All it took for the West to so much as begin turning on Israel was pictures of skeletonised children.
If America and Europe truly believed in “Never again!” we would have carrier groups running 24-hour sorties and bombing Tel Aviv into the stone age. Any other country (outside of Africa, ugh) pulling this shit would have been flattened and invaded by now.
Nope! Instead we paid for this genocide. Solid return on AIPAC’s investment!
I’m fucking sick. We’re seeing images out of WWII concentration camps on the 2025 news. Cut Israel out from the world of decent men. They’ve forfeited their right to exist. Sorry guys, used to root for you. Never again!
Any other country (outside of Africa, ugh) pulling this shit would have been flattened and invaded by now.
Are you not aware of many wars around the world like Myanmar (and rohingya genocide) and Ukraine? What about yazidi? You’re straight up delusional if you truly think any country with sizeable power would get flattened, especially nuclear-power.
Israel only has power because America gives it to them. They would collapse overnight if we went rolled into the Mediterranean looking for a fight.
Hell, if America pulled our support, their neighbors would flatten them, Sampson Doctrine be damned.
I’m pretty sure Yemen is outside of Africa, yet America and Europe have not gone after Saudi Arabia and the UAE for their war crimes there.
What might be the connecting factor here?
Just gaslighting. Don’t trust trump

I’m sure he’ll actually do something about it any minute now. Such a trustworthy guy
He always follows through.
I welcome it.
Provided the USA follows through of course.
But I cannot help but think what he’s deflecting from by unexpectedly showing a humanitarian face.
Or that it’s going to be just about enough to save face (for Israel as well) and improve his abysmal ratings, but not enough to actually improve, let alone solve anything for Palestine.
Even a vile son of a bitch like Trump is going to be shook by child skeletons. That shit brings it home, hard.
Ha, why because they are no longer attractive to him?
