6. Nah. It would have happened anyway. Just a lot slower.

The ethnic cleansing and slow genocide of Palestinians had been happening for 75 years before this "war". We let it happen. This is just the acceleration of a trend and a practice that was given a wink and a nod-aka inaction - by Western states since Israel's founding. U.S. policy has been consistently pro-Israel, with all that entailed, though never explicitly stated of course - by every Administration regardless of party.

If only Palestinians could eat FAFO, or if FAFO could keep them safe from a genocidal society hell-bent on their extermination... But sadly, FAFO serves another purpose, entirely irrelevant to their well-being and safety.
