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.

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

        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.

          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

                  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

                    Ok, just as almost every other country could too. Weird you don’t see people here complaining Germany or France or Canada or (insert country with an army) hasn’t stepped up and stopped Israel.

                    Really though, it’s not weird. It’s politics and politics is a little more complicated than checkers.

            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

                    Read your history. That NFZ was because of ONE carrier from the US for a specific reason, and everything was due to Israel because they are an ALLY.

              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?

                  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

                    Because they bought jets from somebody who makes them has nothing to do with the US government, unless you’re suggesting the government itself turn any buyers away.

                    Fun fact, Airbus isn’t a US company, and you probably fly on those quite a bit versus Boeing. Sit with that.
