    Unwavering support for the genocide Israel is conducting by US mostly. US declared its full support for Israel after October 7th, then repeatedly vetoed ceasefire resolutions at the UN while pumping Israel full of weapons. People in the Middle East were increasingly outraged by the atrocities Israel was committing, and started retaliating against Israel and US. Yemen started blocking shipping through their waters, and many occupation resistance groups in Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria started attacking US and Israeli assets. After US soldiers were finally killed a few days ago, US decided to crank things up a notch.

      Wow, thank you for your reply. That all makes a lot of sense. I know Israel isn’t the most well liked nation in the middle east, so US support would definitely piss people off over there. All this conflict between the u.s and the middle east…feels like it will never end.

        That tends to happen when you colonize, apartheid, ethnic cleanse, and genocide people, yeah. Who’d have thunk!

        They’re committing a mask-off genocide after 75 years of ethnic cleansing - all the while bombing and assassinating foreign citizens on foreign, sovereign soil.

        Tell me how any country on earth would like that.

        To the war contractors who heavily drive this conflict, that’s kinda the point.
