Would be easier to continue if our state apprati didn't protect them. You'd get shot by police for shooting at Nazi's now.

The reason why people are focusing on one side is because one side killed ~1200 while the other has killed ~44,000. It's like being a victim of a driveby shooting on 9/11 and complaining "Why is everyone only focusing on the Twin Towers?" The problem with pro-Israel supporters is that they somehow can't seeem to tell the difference between 1200 and 44,000, it's almost as if the 44,000 doesn't matter because they're Palestinian, and the 1200 matters more because they're Israeli. If Israel killed 1200 and then Hamas returned by killing 44,000, we'd be focusing on Hamas, but that isn't the case is it?

But wait for it, I can see the Hasbara talking point incoming - "Those are Hamas numbers." Well the 1200 is Israeli numbers, and everyone now realizes their numbers are lest trustful, because they're not the ones lying to the world and blocking independent investigative journalism. If you believe Israel is telling the truth, why not let in independent investigation?

Didn't we used to kill Nazi's and celebrate their demise in movies like Indiana Jones?

I think it's more dehumanizing to be the one who kills those people. What the hell is wrong with people? Is murder suddenly okay then?

US military can literally hit one target in a building using a literal knife missile - https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/pentagon-used-six-bladed-ginsu-weapon-to-kill-iraqi-militia-leader-7dfe0687

Israel proved they could target precision strike an Iranian general in a single room.

There is in fact an expectation for the military to not bomb indiscriminately, except when in the case of Gaza they choose to bomb indisciminately.

The Hutu's used the term "cockroaches" to dehumanize. The Nazi's used "rats". But at least those are living creatures. But "a shield", calling a human being a shield, as if they're an inanimate object meant to be struck, as if they're a nuisance that you're meant to get through to hit your target? Calling these civilians "human shields" is a new low for dehumanizing language, and Israel defenders don't realize what kind of monster everyone else sees them as. So wild that it's considered acceptable language by mainstream culture, fucking terrifying.

American's haven't properly defended their freedom since the 1700's.

The United States GDP is £25 Trillion. Musk and his peers have £35 Trillion in offshore tax havens (as of 2016).

I think it's important to contextualize what a civil war in America nowadays would look like. It will be military vs police, national guard vs army, civilians vs government, etc. etc. Most Americans don't even have a shared history anymore, let alone present.

You can’t even intrepret my English correctly

From what I'm reading it seems like you think helping people is a bad thing.
