Isreals right to exist or defend themselves. The retaliation for 10/7 has long ceced to be about self defense and has morphed into revenge and genocide. Not to mention the attacks on Lebanon to land grab. But you knew that already Fetterman. If you want to leave the party, ffs leave just stop the whining and threats. Either shit or get off the pot.
