I'm on the fence if this type of lawsuit is actually in the interest of justice.

But one thing definitely irks me, this is the type of justice that is only doled out to enemies of the US.

Let me know when Palestinian Americans win a lawsuit against the US and Israel after an American-made, Israeli-fired bomb kills their entire family.

I read it differently, it seems to me that Zizek is coming from a place of empathy and trying to humanize the Palestinian cause.

Most people are woefully uninformed, and they naturally ask "Why would Hamas do Oct 7th?" The answer often comes in the form of pro-Israeli propaganda: they're antisemitic, they're animals, they have been taught to hate.

The best way to break through this propaganda is by showing what the Palestinian people have suffered over the past 70 years, and especially the last 16 years. When people learn of the apartheid conditions, the brutal blockade, the Great March of Return, etc, many come to the conclusion that they too would be driven to violence if they were treated in such a horrific and unjust manner.

Anyway I might be wrong about Zizek, but I would totally pay to see this movie.

Did you respond to the wrong comment? I'm confused.

They will take money and weapons from other nations who want their influence in the middle east and the only thing that will change is the US losing that influence.

If the US stops supporting Israel, which other nation will step in and send them 1500lb bombs, highly advanced targeting systems, tens of thousands of artillery shells (theres a worldwide shortage), propelling charges for howitzers, hellfire missiles, disposable shoulder fired rockets, and a plethora of small arms? Be specific.

There are only 4 or 5 nations with the ability to supply the weaponry that Israel needs. China and Russia have been opposed to the genocide since the beginning, so unless they take a dramatic self-destructive turn, this only leaves western nations. Do you think Germany, Japan, or South Korea would defy the US in order to support Israel?

That phone call already happened. It was international news.

Can you provide a source for this?

The only story I'm aware of is how Biden's aides have been leaking how hes having confrontational phone calls with Netanyahu. This is obvious spin in order to placate the anti-genocide sentiment in this country. If you actually believe this narrative then you are the woefully naive one.

Reagan called up Israel one night and told them to stop their assault on Lebanon. Israel stopped in less than 24 hours.

HW Bush called up Israel and ended that conflict overnight.

What makes you think Biden does not have the same power?

And if a phone call doesn't work, he could stop sending bombs. He could stop providing political cover. Instead of handing Israel billions of taxpayer dollars, he could impose economic sanctions like we did to Russia.

Joe Biden could turn Israel into a militarily vulnerable pariah state. What makes you think that this isn't enough leverage to end the genocide?

You're right, it's not all Bidens fault. There are many evil actors in this conflict. But that doesn't mean Bidens hands are clean.

Hes the one supplying all the bombs, going so far as to hide humanitarian reports and circumventing US law so the munitions can keep flowing.

Hes the leader of the nation which is vetoing UN peace agreements.

He is spreading pro-genocide propaganda. Remember when he went on live television to address the nation and said that he saw pictures of 40 beheaded babies? What a horrific thing to lie about.

If the Nuremburg laws would apply to US presidents, then each one of these actions would be legal grounds to convict Joe Biden for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

A riot did decide the 2000 election, unfortunately it was the fascists who were rioting.

The only thing Biden is "crushing" is thousands of Palestinian civilians under the rubble of their former homes.
