How do you feel about financing a genocide? (lemmy.ml)

I didn't want to direct this question to Americans specifically because, at this point, other countries have shown support to Israel in one or the other way. If my country was financing this, I would be taking the streets. Shit, I'm right now in the hospital but all I can think about is protesting anyway just to feel I did something to stop this madness.

Are you doing something about this? Are you feeling unsettled? How do you feel about all this mess?

EDIT: So, buying Chinese stuff takes the USS Gerald Ford to Gaza’s coast. Also, TIL that that chocolate my cousin gave me when she was 20 and I was 5, (delicious stuff!) made me a slavist-ish. The fact remains, this genocide is being paid and supported by taxpayers money; of course, I was hoping that most of us didn’t pay taxes wishing for this. Thank you all for your responses, some of them were hard to swallow.

Wat?

Why even post?

Are you going to edit later?

This is Pig Poop Balls, which shows that this person disagrees with my opinion, to put it mildly.

Ah, thank you!

I would rather not have known, hahaha

I did not know people replied with that, thought it was a bot/troll.

Yay!
