This may be controversial (and I will understand if the mods want to remove this comment) but this made me really wonder if westerners like him are actually aware of the ongoing genocide in Gaza (and now in West Bank and Lebanon) that is also supported by Google tech (amongst others)? I ask because if the death of 2 people in America bothered him so much, shouldn't the death of around 75,000+ Palestinians have stirred his conscience much earlier?

And why would you "understand the moderators"?

I don't know what kind of principles all these people have, but of course they all know about Gaza.

By "understand", I was not alluding to their political leanings. What I was implying is that some rational comments can still lead to inflamed / emotional discussions (which is against our community guidelines) or lead to unnecessary flagging which increases a mods workload and thus I would understand if the mods delete my comment for these reasons.

> but of course they all know about Gaza.

Are you sure? What exactly do they believe is happening in Gaza? Remember that former President Biden himself claimed there is no genocide happening in Gaza. Trump has said anything about a genocide since he got elected. Western media has mostly preferred to whitewash the genocide. TikTok in America has now been taken over by an American BigTech to censor all contents on the genocide and pro-Palestinian causes. I wouldn't be at all surprised if many Americans still remain ignorant about the genocide or don't believe that what is happening in Gaza (and elsewhere) is a genocide.

I assure you that any jew who knows a bit about what is going on in Israel, heard about what is going on in Gaza. Even if not interested, he would hear, here and there "better I would not tell what was there..", the ambiguous smiles, the "who can do anything to us?", the stuff about "Amalek" etc.

I am one of them.

There is no genocide in Lebanon, the West Bank or Gaza.

No matter how many times you repeat that lie.
