United-Statesian directly voted for this. US foreign policy is controled by the president or at this point king. It might not have been every United-Statesian, but it is on them. Well over 50% country still support ongoing genocide.

So yes, United-Statesian are not the same as US, but the damage done is theirs to carry for dacades to come.

  Not really. Most Americans are horrible people. Savages, what we used to think animals were like. We thrive off of self interested cruelty, but don’t even have the intelligence to be self interested about it.

  That’s how many people feel outside of the US.

    South Park did it best with the “a little bit country” song, where the government can do whatever because half the people are pro war (country) and half are against it (rock and roll). So whichever seems convenient, they can say on the geopolitical stage they were “against” or “for” it.

It would not have mattered if they voted differently.

  For ongoing genocide, I agree. She did hire the same Biden “strategists” that sank her campaign. Food aid is a different question. I do believe she would have allowed aid and wouldn’t have vetoed multiple resolutions at the UN. Not because she would have cared but to continue promoting the fake idea that “US are humanitarians”.

    Gonna be honest, I think when Israel continued to use the aid sites as mass killing grounds she would have looked the other way, and I absolutely do believe she would have vetoed UN resolutions.
    
    It was even during Biden’s regime that Palestinians were reporting (with video) that they were being given rotten food.

    Honestly I think all of this highlights what is happening politically around the world. I think polarization is tearing people apart. Government policy is less and less being driven by individual citizens and more by bureaucracy and political policy.
