    Humbly, I disagree. The U.S. Department of State has been in lock-step with Netanyahu’s wants and needs to conduct this genocide. It has vetoed a ceasefire resolution multiple times. American uniforms, American vehicles, American arms are delivered to and used by the IDF. Domestic pressure in the US will have an effect.

    Restricting deliveries of such tools to conduct genocide will hamper Netanyahu’s ability to conduct the mission, which can be advocated for by people and organizations anywhere.

    Other countries, including Canada believing every damn word coming from the IDF without question while being slow to corroborate other information is something that needs to change. Cities like Chicago have come out with an official stance in support of Palestine, other cities can too.

    If we care for a rules-based order in the world, if the majority of a religion’s followers believe in the compassionate core of their religion, we can show it, even if it wouldn’t materially affect how Netanyahu conducts his genocide.

        This will have an effect (in stopping Israel’s actions).

        I can edit it to more directly address how to stop it if this satisfies you, but continuing a conversation of the particular words I use or do not will not be productive for either of us. Thank you for the conversation.
