My gripe comes from that first part, where the latter I agree with. The countries at war are to blame moreso than the enablers and profiteers ...Technically. I am not saying the US is innocent... but this isn't the US "doing it" we're aiding a crooked ally. I've read comments so often that seem to wholly blame the US. We're a super easy target to criticize, thus my calling the first statement anti-US fluff. Even if I'm arguing semantics.

the war on gaza literally could not happen if the US wasn't arming israel to the point they can be uncontested.

Could not CONTINUE, maybe... it's fucked that we provide any support. We aren't the only supporter here either, and I won't agree with "this is ALL America's fault!" like you're saying.

arguably israel wouldnt even exist today without the constant pumping of money and weapons by the US in the last 80 years or so.
