Not to mention the fact that the warnings are superficial. If they really wanted to get Israel to listen they could just side line their security guarantees and supply of arms as you mentioned for a while and pressure the Israelis into a corner when more of the Arab world starts to take notice that the big brother is not there to protect them anymore. The current heads of strategic and security departments in the US are so attached to the old status quo that they are not taking note of the current status quo and generalized sentiment amongst the younger population. Most of the policies they implement are catered towards the older generations ambitions if you take a deeper look and do not serve much benefit to the rest of society as they are outdated. The US 's own statistics amongst the younger generation further support this. Overall, the US does not know what it is doing anymore and it is starting to make it self look incredibly weak to it's adversaries as it continues to behave without any true direction.

Or the million+ Uyghers forcibly incarcerated in "re-education camps" in China. I mean, those situations are WAY worse than what he actually decided to "take a stand" for. Makes you wonder what it is about this particular conflict that makes everyone pretend so hard to care about. I mean, if you don't give a sh*t about all those dead Syrians, or the 14 million living Syrian displaced refugee - why would you care so, so much! about a much smaller number of palestinians?

"Israel cannot claim 'self-defence' against a threat that emanates from the territory it occupies - from a territory that is kept under belligerent occupation" Francesca Albanese, UN Specialist

[@narrowbridge22]

Except that Israel hasn't occupied Gaza since 2005. Gaza isn't part of Israel, or Egypt. This is an inane comment. Both Israel and Egypt control Gaza's border. Using her logic why wasn't Egypt attacked?

leading up to wars and during the wars they selectively chase out those who oppose the war, and use money to honey bait people into it. and failure to help the economy puts economic durress onto people who feel they have no options. luckily i had family to fall back on. i didn't join the navy in 2010 because the recruiters couldn't give me any good reasons for the war to be occuring. i had to suffer poverty for many years in my 20s due to this eventually i got onto my feet with blue collar work. they need to defund wars and weapons production, and put money into housing and food the basic human needs that most americans lack.

"The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their numbers increased.

Mr Josh Paul is able to see the horrible situation in Israel and Gaza through a clear lens. He has deep personal integrity and values to refuse the pressure to blindly support Israel. He also has an incredible amount of courage to share his thoughts in the media. A feature that is lacking in so many corporate and government leaders in The US. I hope we will have more leaders like Mr Josh Paul. The USA and The UK should be proud to have someone like him.

American's are pretty simple people with below average intelligence. They take things as black and white. It is called grandstanding. If this man cared truely as he claims, he would use his position and take a stand within that position. That is the point of politics. Simply jumping shit to generate media and hype around yourself is grandstanding. he cares more about how Americans see him than actually making change. Maybe one day Americans will learn about the evolution of politics since ancient Greece. No doubt he does care to an extent. Not to mention, he keeps using the data Hamas has been putting out rather than neutral bodies. He says 6000 children, neutral bodies are saying its closer to 3k. This for me is extremely concerning, using Hamas numbers over independent neutral bodies. This man has an agenda. Same as every modern politician. He will be back, once he gets enough fame from his "moral stance". He is playing politics, he doesn't care about the issue at hand more than he cares about himself.
