You don’t. Try not to piss off any national governments, especially unhinged ones (Russia, China, US, Israel, etc.)
Nuance. Trump did have that power. He did not, by any means, have power over the entirety of US policy. The fact that the Republicans had significant congressional control also gave him, but actually them, more overall power, but still not absolute by any sense of the imagination. Absolutely every country has different factions and inner workings, but in countries where there is a supreme authority, those are by and large null and void. The US does not have any one supreme authority (except money maybe lol)
I’m basically saying that we can only blame the people that had the power and that took the action in question, or, alternatively, the people with power over them.
That fails to take into account any effort by the idf to minimize child casualties, which is absolutely happening. It assumes an equal amount of adult and children civilian deaths when there is no marker whatsoever that shows that to be the case, other than the overall ratio of children to adults in Gaza. You have made a huge leap in your logic.
*uneducated idiots isolate…
Ftfy
Except that Iran isn’t a democracy in practice or really by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe in the 80s, but when a country has a leader with complete and total authority, it really doesn’t matter.
We blame Putin for the actions of Russia bc he has supreme authority over Russia. We cannot blame a single president for the same, as 1, they don’t have supreme authority in most matters, and 2, unlike Russia the US is actually a representative democracy, whether or not you like the options available.
In essence, I disagree with the premise that this is the norm. It’s not only visible from the inside. If people don’t care enough to find out, that’s a different problem, but in general, diplomatic officials tend to know abt this kind of stuff because it’s their job to.
America doesn’t have a Supreme leader dumbass
Trump ripped up the agreement***
When the two major parties have massively different diplomatic policies we have problems like this a lot.
It can also be good sometimes tho like when Jimmy Carter became president and started cracking down on the junta in Argentina and flying out victims and stuff.
This is assuming that the 2:1 ratio has come from anywhere other than original commenter’s asshole
Then there’s the crazy motherfuckers that swam it

Ehhh idk about that one. In a case like this? Sure. Random crimes are almost never solved tho. If you go two states over in a car, shoot someone in the face, and then go home, then you’re almost never gonna get caught. Especially if it occurred somewhere with a high crime rate or to a member of a marginalized community.
Don’t get any ideas tho!
She literally clarified that she was going to provide weapons for defense from Iran and its puppets, that she will fight for a 2 state solution, and called for a cease fire. Like a sentence later.
Jfc. Race to the bottom, though I don’t blame you when this guy is purposely taking things out of context.
HAMAS is still a terrorist group that wants the destruction of Israel and its citizens, often invoking religious imagery and themes concerning such. Let’s not pretend there’s good guys in this situation, whether or not you believe in the idea of HAMAS as freedom fighters.
For example, the founding charter contains lines like this: The hour of judgment shall not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, so that the Jews hide behind trees and stones, and each tree and stone will say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him,’ except for the Gharqad tree, for it is the tree of the Jews.
There’s no room for religious extremism in a leftist worldview regardless of who the extremist is.
Literally the entire first sentence.
Sauce?
That’s not the implication tho. The implication is that, similar to nazi Germany, a significant portion of their population has wanton care about the carrying-out of genocide. It doesn’t really matter that “not every” German was a nazi when the society still carried out the genocide of almost 12 million people, more than half of which were jews.
Yeah the best example is probably the Japanese internment camps during WW2. You don’t have ‘rights’, you have privileges. Rights can’t be taken away.
