History will judge the politicians who did nothing, too.
- "Never again... For realzies this time"
So they're stopping trade talks, but continue supplying them with arms?
- They are drawing very stern looking frowney faces on the weapon shipping crates. VERY stern.
- i was going to say this, so this must be nothing more than performative.
- They're punishing Israel with a "stern finger wagging" and spoiling even that by giving them "winks and nods".
history doesn't save lives. history doesn't remember individuals. history doesn't care if money paved over graves.
history isn't consequence.
i have no place in this fight, other than to say that no Good God would ever want this.
- no worries, i think you just misunderstood what i was trying to say. not your fault - i probably shouldn't have been so vague.
  i'm a white non-religious dude from canada. i don't have a place in this fight. i still have opinions, though, and what's happening in gaza right now is a fucking holocaust. i think we're both on the same side, and i admire your conviction.
  
  What have you done that's actual made a difference?
Would be cooler if the present judged them.
We have to wait for 'history' to handle this for us, huh.
Amazing how the entire world turned into anti-Semites overnight just because of a little ethnic cleansing
It'll judge you too, but if you stop supporting them now you get a participation prize.
The same way history remembers all the multiples famines caused by the British on India?
- History indeed remembers. No coincidence half the world has an "independence from the English" day.
  
  Never on one of those days the 45M people of famines deads in India by the English empire are talk about.
Seems like it since apparently the international court is a joke.
If you look at pictures from Warsaw in 1943 and Gaza in 2025 the eyes looking back are the same.
but how about they rewrite history with trained ai and edited digital books?
No, it won't.
History is written by the victors.
