How could they be allowed to do all this.
Is being an ally of US, is all that a country needs to do these deplorable things.
How are there people still supporting Israel. I really really don’t understand

If they accept what israel is doing are war crimes then they have to accept that so much of what they've done are also war crimes

They’ve been doing this for 75 years. Both West Bank and Gaza. They snipe children just to terrorise them, to make them afraid and to make the whole population afraid. Murdering a child is nothing to these racist creeps because they believe they were chosen by god and everyone else is sub-human.

The US is complicit in genocide, specifically, the wealthy billionaires at the top who control it all. A horrible affront to humanity as a whole.

Economics. It benefits the wealthy to destabilise the region and have an on-call blood thirsty military force permanently encamped there that can be used to keep the area perpetually at war, making it easier to extract valuable resources while maintaining plausible deniability.
Money isn’t evil, it is an amplifier of who you are. If you are a greedy person, your greed will be amplified and you will crave more at any cost. If you are a bully, you will become a tyrant. To become a millionaire you will indirectly hurt people, to become a billionaire, you will indirectly kill people. This is why we will never have a good hearted rich person, generosity doesn’t go well towards accruing vast sums of money.
So now, we end up with the greediest, meanest, most uncaring cruel people with unimaginable wealth who buy politicians and the power to shape a nation built entirely on the destruction and exploitation of other nations for their own personal financial gain.
Then we end up with a middle class who can see the evil being done in their names and they may verbally speak out about it. But should their comfort that comes from the evil actions of those above should be threatened, they will always side with the evil bastards if it means they get a slightly bigger house with a slightly fancier car and four weeks luxury vacation a year. Hence, why the middle class and upwards tend to vote for an orange wannabe authoritarians who’s policies will perpetuate a war, give massive tax breaks for the rich, and destabilise the global economy so the government coffers can be looted through billions in bailouts at the expense of the rest of poors who still have to pay our taxes.
The rest of us, the vast majority who can see the harm being done in our names that we want to end, we don’t have money, or power or the influence to do anything to stop it. What little money we do have is overly taxed and handled to the wealthiest while we are left with nothing to show for it, no healthcare, crumbling infrastructure, shit schools, decaying benefits systems and no option except to keep working until the day we die. Our politicians are bought and no matter who we vote for we will end up always bombing brown ‘others’ in foreign countries while the corporate vultures pick over our corpses through denying us basic needs like healthcare or food or clean water or roofs over our heads.
This is how we end up in a situation where the have-nots cheer when one of our own shoots up and takes blood of the wealthy, while decrying the genocide of our fellow poor; while simultaneously the ‘haves’ spared now expense to hunt the shooter down before perp walking with a small army, while screaming how violence isn’t the answer, while they simultaneously turn around and cheer on the indiscriminate bombing of tens of thousands of poor brown people.
This is America. This is capitalism. This is hell.

Im fucking infuriated that my tax dollars are going to these monsters. I feel like there's nothing I can do.

They are allowed because they own enough US politicians who care more about the perks of being in government. These politicians put love of money and power above all else.

Now, imagine 17000 children in, say, a football stadium. All standing on the playing field. And the Israeli army shot them all dead, one by one The world would be horrified, and something meaningful would be done about it. And yet, in many ways, that horrible scenario would actually be kinder than what they've done over the past year. It seems that bombing them to oblivion is perfectly fine. I fear that if nothing has been done by this stage to put a stop to it, then nothing ever will be.

There are plenty of people who would not be horrified, in fact they would trip over themselves to justify the brutal murder of children. Something something terrorist organization something something kidnapping something something kids got to die.

Cue the Israeli defenders:
He was probably Hamas, even though it took place in an area with no Hamas presence.
There's not enough context. You can't pass judgement until you have all of the context. The way you know there's more context is that if Israel still looks bad, there's not enough context so you can't pass judgement.
There's no way to know some random kid wasn't a terrorist, so they just have to kill all the people of that certain ethnicity just in case... but that's totally not a genocide.
It's fake. You can tell because everything that makes Israel look bad is fake.
Hamas started it... 40 years before Hamas even existed. But they're to blame for all of the violence in the region, even where there's no Hamas in that particular area, so Israel gets to shoot kids if they want.

Man.. generations of PR campaigns and media activism to silence talk of the human sacrifice and child killing habits detailed in the historical records that fill their book. All up in smoke, like aforementioned sacrifices and current ones.
The propaganda workers need to understand that their efforts must be directed internally, to change the actions - not externally to change what words mean.
As for what i can do to help? Die and not come back here, and my suffering is nothing by comparison.

This genocide is absolutely devastating to witness. I don't care about geopolitics and the amount of intel we get from Israel. It's never worth this. I'd put American boots on the ground in Gaza and put a screeching halt to this, and then forcefeed the world a new Palestinian State.

There is no more cruelty than Israeli cruelty. Please never forget this rotten state and its crimes.
