    At a certain point you have to wonder what the value of liberal democracy is if it can’t help but be compelled into materially supporting genocide.

      A democracies value is that (in theory) the government needs to reflect what its people want.

      And if large parts of the country support Israel. like basically all republicans and large swaths of democrats do, then the government will unfortunately reflect that.

        And large parts of the “only democracy in the middle east” wants to do genocide. Quite explicitly.
