    Is demanding that America stop funneling weapons to Israel a moderate stance? Because that’s what I said. Is there a specific part of my comment you take issue with or are you just gonna wave your hands and act fed up?

      Shipping lanes are unironically more important than the Gaza genocide,

      No, they are not. People dying is way more important than oil and consumer goods.

        14.5% of global food and fertilizer shipments transited the Suez in 2018. Higher shipping cost and delays on these goods means real food insecurity problems for millions of people. It’s not just oil and plastic toys being moved through there.

          Then free Palestine from Israel’s grasp, and the Houthi’s will stop. You want to stop a hypothetical genocide and allow a real one. That’s fucked up.

        So which genocide(s) do you support? Israelis genociding Gazans? Saudis and Americans genociding Houthis? Iranians, Houthi’s and Gazans genociding Israelis? Which shipping lane(s) are (un)important to your genocide of choice?
