If you keep blaming Israel for every problem in the Middle East, you're missing the full picture.
This didn't start with Israel randomly attacking. Hamas launched the Oct 7 massacre, killed about 1,200 people, took 240 hostages, and fired thousands of rockets. At the same time the Islamic Regime's proxies (Hezbollah, Houthis, etc.) opened fire from multiple fronts. Israel responded to that.

The high civilian numbers you're seeing (like 83%) mostly come from Hamas-run health ministry data. In a war where the enemy hides in tunnels under hospitals and uses human shields on purpose, those numbers are tragic but way more disputed than people admit.

The Epstein, Maxwell, blackmail conspiracy stuff gets recycled nonstop. Yeah there are shady connections, but that doesn't explain decades of real shared threats from the Islamic Regime. The IR funds and arms Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and others while executing its own people, crushing protests, and pushing terror across the region.

US support for Israel lines up with actual benefits: intel sharing, tech cooperation, and fighting the same jihadists that target us too. It's not blind "bootlicking." Sanctioning the only functional democracy in the area that's actively fighting the jihadists while ignoring the body count from the Islamic Regime is the real selective outrage.

If all you do is point at Israel and ignore the Islamic Regime's role in starting and escalating this, you're not seeing the whole board. Read the sources instead of just memes.
Anti-Zionism leads to brain rot when it goes unchecked.
