What an idiotic take on this situation.
Western governments understand that the choice isn't genocide vs no genocide, it's just which side is being genocided. Iran would happily take the opportunity a lack of support for Israel would provide to attack them.
This is a proxy war, not some sort of civil problem.
But you see, this is the internet. Israel isn't allowed to defend itself from these attacks. Logic be damned!
If someone chases you back to your house, and kills not only you but your family and friends and neighbors, it's not called self defense.
It is when they are taking shots at you from their house from the start.
This start or this start?
No, killing the friends and neighbors is still not self defense, bro. Israel has bombed and damaged 65%+ of homes in Gaza. Hamas was not hiding in 65%+ of homes. But keep caping for Israel's genocide.
