So everyone at the State Department is fair game because Trump is performing an ethnic cleansing over here?
Do you not understand how absurd this argument is?
Yeah, after Iraq and Afghanistan, and many other countries, I have very little sympathy for people working on foreign affairs with the US government. The US is not a force for good in this world.
I wouldn't shed a single tear if Bush, Cheney and Rove were forced to answer for their crimes because they're the ones responsible. The staffers? What'd they do that deserves death?
Getting back to Israel; all this did was create 2 more martyrs for Bibi. Doesn't help the pro Palestinian cause one bit. Gives Trump yet another excuse to target every pro Palestinian in the US, citizen or not. And in case you haven't seen it yet the mainstream media is running with the story of how they were a couple about to be engaged. So this is just going to be used to garner more sympathy for Israel and make a ceasefire all the more unlikely.
This accomplished nothing, and to call it justified is just utter nonsense.
The staffers helped murder 5 million people.
