Is demanding that America stop funneling weapons to Israel a moderate stance? Because that's what I said. Is there a specific part of my comment you take issue with or are you just gonna wave your hands and act fed up?

Shipping lanes are unironically more important than the Gaza genocide,

No, they are not. People dying is way more important than oil and consumer goods.

So which genocide(s) do you support? Israelis genociding Gazans? Saudis and Americans genociding Houthis? Iranians, Houthi's and Gazans genociding Israelis? Which shipping lane(s) are (un)important to your genocide of choice?
