Why???

Because of tens of thousands of deaths counted; hundreds of thousand of deaths not counted; collateral damage of innocent women and children couched as Hamas terrorists’ human shields and human animals; the unspeakable support that the USA and it’s allies are giving to Israel; the total ineptitude of the ICJ, ICC and the UN; the role models that world leaders have set with their own war crimes and crimes against humanity; the pernicious allowance of war criminals into countries, onto college campuses and into the halls of the US congress, Netanyahu in tow, despite the ICJ & the ICC’s ruling; censorship; sanctions; deportations; the term “Semite” co-opted to only mean Jews while Palestinians and Arabs are also Semites; the decimation of the eco-system of Gaza; tents housing hundreds of thousands of defenseless huddled bodies; the impunity in the destruction of infrastructure, schools, hospitals, churches, mosques, homes and businesses; the false and exploited “war on terror”; incalculable amount of 💰💰💰 spent on weapons to fund this assault; dozens of standing ovations in the house of the US congress for a '“war criminal”; over 200 journalists killed; unyielding subservience to the Israeli Lobby; insufferable demonstrations of inhumanity by the IDF; retaliatory tactics against pro-Palestinian protestors; audacious dismantling of the Rule of Law; outrageous disregard for International Laws that protect human rights; inconsequential rhetoric denouncing Israel’s war crimes; overt proclamations of intentional genocide of a people; the blockade of food, water, medical supplies and fuel; the ruinous slaughter of medical and humanitarian aide workers; armed Israeli settlers commandeering Palestinian homes, vacated due to repeated evacuation orders; Israel’s disdainful noncompliance to the US brokered cease fire agreement; the complicity of the media’s reporting of Israel’s war crimes; the unrelenting control Israel’s Hasbara (propaganda) has over social media; and if I missed anything please add your thoughts in the comments below.
