President Joe Biden said Tuesday Israel’s prime minister needs to change his hardline government and support for the country’s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza. … “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution.”

It’s mind-blowing how thoroughly Netanyahu has bungled this. They had damn near the entire world in full support after Hamas’ horrific attack on Israeli civilians, and they’ve managed to lose it.

              Israel is holding like 4000 hostages they kidnapped without any process from the west bank.

              "The goal is damage not accuracy " are literal IDF words on bombing Gaza.

              They targeted infrastructure and cut off food and water.

              They have blocked ambulances to hospitals to force women to miscarry even before oct7

              They have kidnapped children for multiple years and tortured them in prison.

                To be completely fair, if they’re in the U.S., the amount of propaganda flying around coupled with the complete lack of history being taught about the issue is more than enough to leave the average person unaware of these genocidal actions.
