Given their military capability and (according to givesomefucks) the complete support of “both sides”, if they have the intent, they are doing an absolutely terrible job.

Maybe genocide isn’t their intent.

Look at Rwanda for what “intent” means.

this guy with the both sides stuff. Was the Citizens United political action committee that brought the case supporting Republicans or Democrats? Of the nine justices which ones voted against it?

You say the word “genocide” over and over, but what does that mean? I find figures of 35,000 killed out of >5M Palestinians - that’s 0.7% of the Palestinian population.

I don’t like Israel’s aggression, and civilian deaths are not acceptable. But does that honestly measure up to the term “genocide”?

Yes, they are a centrist party, and have to actually win elections to make any meaningful impact on US Policy.

Compare to how impactful the Green and Communist parties are in the American political world.

That’s ONE in 15 years. In fact 18 years, because the previous one was in 2006.

But look at this list of oil spills https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/oil-and-chemical-spills/oil-spills/largest-oil-spills-affecting-us-waters-1969.html and list of most contaminated coal ash disposal sites https://earthjustice.org/feature/coal-ash-contaminated-sites-map#top10

We have seen what happens to oil infrastructure in a war: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/04/08/sunday-review/exposures-kuwait-salgado.html

i’m not sure what you’re talking about… The nuclear energy industry has a track record of safety and extensively regulated engineering that surpasses virtually any other industry
