Well what can we do if the president of the USA is protecting Israel despite everything and says F international law lol actually he hates international law and looks up to dictators lol americans can protest but they need to strike for days bring the economy to a standstill and demand justice, in Europe they strike for way less

edit: typo

Israel was not held accountable before Trump either

US has been overly protective of and generous to Israel since the day they completed Nazi Germany's plan of moving "the Jews" to a new land. They even assassinated the first US president who called Israel out for having an unexplainable level of control over the US government.

Let's be fair here, the plan was the British's. The Nazis just happened to vibe really hard with their plan, just like how they did with Jim Crow.

the British mandated that the local population be treated equitably and that land not be taken in areas not assigned to Israelis, which the Israelis immediately violated on day 1 of its existence. You cant completely lay the actions of the Israelis on the british. From the getgo the zionists have violated every aspect of every agreement.

Coming from the same land that got away with starving both Ireland and India, that's rich.

Just because I took your house and gave most of it to a bear it doesn't mean it's my fault alright? I told it to behave.

stop all exports of kerrygold to the united states. I'm only half joking. hit us in the stomach. no more butter, no more cheese, no more beer. Those are our three favorite things in the whole world. Yes, more than oil. we can make all that stuff ourselves for way cheaper but holy shit do comfortable people love Irish dairy.

Kerrygold priced themselves out, it's $12 for 4 sticks here. I can get a pound and a half of Amish roll butter for less than that.

Kerrygold is more expensive in my state at the local Costco, unless discounts are in play. About $16 IIRC. I either buy the cheaper but nearly identical Kirkland version, or stock up on sticks when the price is down. Got something like 10 cartons in the freezer. Sucks to pay $160 now, but the economy is going to make it at least $200 when the crops stop yielding much food.

Due to the Hormuz crisis, it ain't just gas, but also fertilizer for fields, that has been limited. That means less feed for the cattle, and everyone else who needs to eat something.

These are troubled times. 😒
