I find it fascinating that few have figured out why Hamas attacked now?

Why Netanyahu is conducting a genocide now?

Why Republican antisemites are suddenly gung-ho on Israel.

It's about oil. Almost everything in the Middle East is about oil to some extent.

@luckytran "They should call for Hamas to release the hostages!"

Why? The Israeli government doesn't want those hostages. The Israeli government says Hamas are terrorists. The Israeli government is an internationally recognized, allegedly democratic government. We put public pressure on internationally recognized governments. Is Hamas not a terrorist organization now? Will they be more responsive to public opinion than the Israeli government?

So many interesting premises beneath that statement.

Yemen: Genocide Emergency

"Yemen’s conflict has developed into a proxy war between the Iran-backed Houthi rebels and the Yemeni government, which is supported by an international coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The U.S. has backed the Saudi-led coalition."

@Robert_Vinson I have no idea why so many people think that UN resolutions are some how democratic when most of the voting members are far from being democracies.. I give very little moral value to UN resolutions.

That's awesome. I wonder if opposition to Israel's genocide will wind up producing global protests bigger than those opposing the US invasion of Iraq?
