Many water facilities have been damaged or destroyed by Israel’s war in Gaza, according to the UN and others, compounding the civilian population’s suffering, risking the spread of disease and leading human rights experts to accuse Israel of using water supply as a weapon.

    How about a no-fly zone on the so-called state of Israel?

      “so-called state”? What…?

        The so-called state of Israel is merely a European settler-colonial project that was created via European mandate and has now become a rogue entity that does not respect any international law or human rights. I will only recognize one multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-religious democracy from the river to the sea. No more colonialism. No more apartheid. No more genocide.

      The US doesn’t control the world’s airspace, and Jets aren’t the problem. Next.

        And bombs are the problem.

          Those weren’t US jets, and Israel is an ally, so you can’t refuse them munitions if you want to keep them as such.

          Next.

            the us took part in the no-fly zone, and the f22 is better than the rafale or eurofighter

            you can’t refuse them munitions

            what a reach

                    the question is “can the us stop israel from doing a genocide” not “does the us want to stop israel from doing a genocide”

                    if the us wanted to stop israel then israel would’ve been stopped that’s literally the point i’m making

              No they didn’t? Facts or get lost. The US has not imposed any “no fly zone” over this area at point, and has gone out of their way to be as removed as possible.

                American and British naval forces fired over 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles, and imposed a naval blockade.

                    yeah, they were brought into the conflict and then helped to enforce the no-fly zone by bombing pro-libyan-government positions with cruise missiles

                If the US wanted it could certainly implement a no-fly zone on Ukraine. It just doesn’t want to.

                I have no idea why you think the US can’t do this to Israel. What’s Israel going to do about it?

                    “global nuclear war” with israel, a country with a nuclear arms program so small it doesn’t even officialy exist, and without a delivery system

                    No, not next. Back the fuck up.

                    You think Israel would launch nukes because the US enforced a no fly zone?

                    They’d kill everyone on Earth and themselves just because the US gives them a timeout?

                    Then they’re a rogue state that needs to be destroyed before they start WW3.

        anything within 1500 miles of an f22 can be considered us-controlled airspace, yes

        bombing is part of the problem, yes
