      It should be a no-brainer to not fund and ship weapons to a state committing a genocide, and yet here we are.

        How many of the attacked cargo ships were transporting weapons? And what, cargo ships transporting Russian oil are just fair game for NATO to blow up now because they’re funding genocide?

          yes, but the Russians have nukes so actually no. If you have nukes you basically get to do what you want and the other great powers don’t get to attack you. If you don’t have nukes you don’t get that privilege

            Hundreds to thousands of nukes, mostly yes. one to tens of, not so much. People don’t want nukes to be used, but having a supply of 20 nukes or so would not get the world to let you do whatever you wanted.

            And at a certain point, even the hundreds to thousands may still lead to war, if pressing too hard.

          So, a genocide doesn’t count unless it’s complete, and if the Palestinians in Gaza knew what was good for them they’d self-ethnic-cleanse?

          they have genocidal leadership who are clearly intent on attacking their neighbors until they’re all dead.

          What you’re implying is that Hamas is bringing down genocide on their own people via the IDF. Since Hamas is in control of, and responsible for the IDF, why don’t they use it to attack Israel? Are they stupid?

          All natives resist colonialism, the only genocidal maniacs are the Zionist invaders. You are suggesting removing Palestinians to Jordan instead of removing the illegal settlements in the West Bank.

          Some Mesoamerican groups saw population growth under early Spanish occupation, too.

      “No brainer” is exactly how I would describe a person who think this is a good idea.
