“Are we the baddies?” is not a question anyone in the West has to ask themselves. There’s no question about it. You were. You are. Will you continue to be? That’s the only question that matters and the answer is entirely up to you.

Silence is complicity.

Inaction is complicity.

Apologism is complicity.

Do something!

I will never forgive Biden for supporting, enabling and funding Israel's genocide.

The lives lost, the terror created, the destruction caused cannot be undone.

For the same reason, I will never forgive, believe or trust Starmer (or Lammy), or any businessman or global politician past and present, complicit in the genocide.

@szewek A good rule of thumb is that the goodies rarely call themselves the goodies.

So are you part of the goodies, but do not want to name/identify the group, as it would make the group no longer be goodies?

@szewek I am who I am, nothing more, and nothing less. I don’t need nor want this label or that. My actions speak as to my values.

Okay, you are right, let's not keep it personal but general. You just made a general label - "anyone in the West." This part of the world (and its population) represents evil, I understand that. My question is: Is there a part of the world that represents good?

@Szewek @Aral Balkan Hmm, by being in the West I am evil. What a well considered reasonable statement (NOT!)

My point is not that there is a part of the world that constitutes “good”. My point is that there is a part of the world that believes it constitutes “good” and it does not. And while we’re engaging in euro-store philosophical bike-shedding from the safety of our relative places of privilege, there’s still a genocide being committed by israel and “the west” so you will excuse me if my time and attention are better spent elsewhere.

@Aral Balkan @Szewek I'm not in favor of genocide anywhere, but it seems to me money is always the driver, and Israel, money, power, land and control, and the US wanted to go along with this because it helped destroy BRICS economic competition, and the Chinese are blathering all about how Israel violates human rights not because they give a shit about human rights, they're treatment of their fellow humans has hardly been stellar, but because they want cheap oil from otherwise embargoed Iran. It's a sick world, and that sickness is not regional.

Do you think talking to people who already agree with you is time better spent than trying to explain your point to somebody who simply does not get it?

Let me ask a more specific, troubling question here: USA, UK, and France exercise a lot of power in the Middle East. They do support the genocidal Israel of Netanyahu. This should change. Should they leave a power vacuum, or change how they exercise their power?
