    I’m asking a careful question to know what the other person supported. That doesn’t mean I believe nothing else should be done beyond saying “please stop”. The US has a terrible history of unilaterally imposing its will on self-governing nations, and however horrid the events in Gaza, I’d like our response not to continue in that tradition.

      We give them billions of dollars per year in cash and weapons. This blood is on our hands because American taxpayers are funding every bomb. Also “unilaterally” just wouldn’t be true. The overwhelming majority of the international community would also like the genocide to stop.

      I think you should deeply reflect on how evil your last sentence reads considering the circumstances.
